Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Chris Ngige, the Minister of Labour and Employment, has lamented that he and other Nigerian elites are in danger.<\/p>\n

Ngige said this is due to the level of insecurity in the country.<\/p>\n

The minister made the remark while urging employers of labour to provide decent jobs for workers in the country or face severe consequences.<\/p>\n

Ngige, in a statement signed by Charles Akpan, the Deputy Director, Press and Public Relations in the ministry, said lack of jobs was responsible for the high rate of insecurity in the country.<\/p>\n

According to NAN, the statement said Ngige spoke at a meeting with leaders of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, and the National Pension Commission, PENCOM.<\/p>\n

Ngige appealed to employers of labour and Labour unions to pay greater attention to providing formal and regular jobs.<\/p>\n

According to Ngige: \u201cSo, the elites in Nigeria are in danger, including me and all of us.<\/p>\n

\u201cHence, the sooner we start talking to elites in organisations like yours (IPMAN), the better. So, we can curb this malady and prevent it from escalating.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you refer to the nexus between job vulnerability and insecurity, you hit the nail on the head.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of insecurity problems we have today is caused by unemployment and underemployment.\u201d<\/p>\n
