The
spate of unemployment in Nigeria has been exposed again with the
National Railway Corporation getting excessive applications for job
openings.
The Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC),
Engr. Fidet Okhiria has revealed that the corporation got applications
from 350,000 Nigerians after it placed advertisement for employment
opportunities according to the Nigerian Tribune.
Disclosing this during an interview with newsmen recently, Okhiria
stated that the corporation was still sorting out the various
applications which are expected to fill about 200,000 jobs openings in
the NRC.
According to him, “By standard, we should have enough numbers
of people to operate a train service. It is the love my staff have for
me that they have been working themselves out for me and for country.
Perhaps again, it’s based on the training they’ve received.
“We are supposed to have 8 hours shift for off-days and also
weekend staff. But the staffs have been working for more than 8 hours
and they even come to work on weekends, although we give them little
incentives.
“We expect very soon the junior staff (level 4-5) that will
maintain the tracks should be employed. By February, 2017 the other
staff should also come. We have about 350,000 applications for 200,000
jobs. So it’s taking time to sort the list. The moment we finish the
short listing, we will call for interviews.”
On the movement of freight, the NRC boss explained that, “We
have increased our freight from almost zero to a point where we can’t
even meet demand. Before now, when we move freight from Lagos to the
North, and we used to come back with empty wagons. As I speak now, the
demand for wagons from the South to the North is almost as the demand
for wagons from the North to the South.
“This is because the management decided to give a little
incentive on goods coming from the North to South because most of the
goods are livestock and food. The discounts we give on the freight from
the North also go a long way to ensure prices of livestock and food from
the North is relatively cheap when it gets to the South.
“We move 20 wagons of cargo per train. We are also trying to
link Jos with our rail lines because Grand Cereal in Jos is pilling
pressure on us to help them move their products to Port Harcourt and
Abba.
