The Minister of Works, Arc. Mike Onolememen has disclosed that the
Federal Government, through the Federal Civil Service Commission, had
recently employed over 350 young engineers, and organized training
programmes for them before they were deployed to various sites.
This he said is part of the ministry’s target of reducing unemployment
among engineering graduates and giving the young engineers the
opportunity to understudy experienced professionals, adding that
adequate provision is also being made in every contract to provide for
students’ industrial work experience scheme [SIWES].
