There have been different approaches by different government to solve unemployment. But the government of previous government before 2011, did not approach job creation the area of policies and reforms which is the foundation to make the environment ready for investment and then creating jobs.
The government of President Goodluck Jonathan restricted itself to facilitating sustainable private sector investment and growth, and in the process, creating jobs. This administration has also approached job creation from two broad perspectives. First, it has initiated policy reform and programmes aimed at boosting the demand side of the labour market by inducing economic expansion. In this regard, the Transformation Agenda has job creation as one of its three pillars. Secondly, government has initiated a number of policies and interventions geared towards boosting the supply-side of the labour market. All of this typically pertains to training and skills acquisition programmes.
