PRESS STATEMENT PRESENTED BY THE INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS OF UN VOLUNTEERS TO COMMEMORATE THE WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE

By Victor Valentine

A PRESS STATEMENT PRESENTED BY THE INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS OF UN VOLUNTEERS TO COMMEMORATE THE WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE HELD ON THE 29TH OF FEBRUARY, 2024, in Abuja.

Let me begin this Press briefing by giving us a little insight into what the World Day of Social Justice entails. World Day of Social Justice is an International day recognizing the need to promote Social Justice, which includes efforts to tackle issues such as poverty, economic exclusion, gender inequality, unemployment, human rights and social protections.

The United Nations and its affiliates like the International Organization of UN Volunteers (IOUNV) set aside this day to make statements on the importance of Social Justice and present plans for greater Social justice by tackling poverty, social and economic exclusion and unemployment.

It is on this premises that we want to thank the Nigerian Government through the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) that have been carrying out a lot of activities or programmes which are in tandem with the objectives of the UN being observed on the World Day of Social Justice.

The National Directorate of Employment by its statutory mandate introduced four (4) major areas of intervention towards mass job creation to combat unemployment in Nigeria which includes:

Vocational Development

Entrepreneurship Development

Agricultural Skills training and

Public Works Program

We therefore wish to commend the Director General of the National Directorate of Employment in the person of Mallam Abubakar Nuhu Fikpo for his numerous contributions and sustenance of the progress made by the agency (NDE) in tackling and combating poverty and social inequality in Nigeria by passing a vote of confidence on him to continue his good works.

However, we are urging the Agency and Nigeria government to do more in brining succour to Nigerians in the many challenges they are facing which we believe can be achieved and surmounted through the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Thank you and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Amb. Luke Jacob
