Nigerian unemployment level on a decline says NBS

[Augusta]

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has stated that Nigeria's unemployment rate has decreased to 4.3% in the second quarter of 2024,

This is marking a decline from 5.3% in the previous quarter.



According to the NBS report released on Monday, November 25, the unemployment rate reflects the percentage of the labor force actively searching for work but unable to find employment. While the rate dropped compared to Q1, it showed a slight increase of 0.1 percentage point from 4.2% in the same period last year.

As a Nigerian do you agree with this report?

I don't agree in this, the only way they might be a decrease is simply because most persons have started starting up their own business.

Yesh, sometimes they are just trying to do damage control but they are still exposed at the end of the day.

This agency keeps churning out falsehood in the name of stats. What do you even expect from a government agency of statistics.

 

[Augusta]

Yeah right they are only deceiving themselves as they would meet their Waterloo as they progresses on

Even an illiterate who don't understand the meaning of statistics knows that it is a bold lie. The problem we have in Nigeria is that educated people who suppose to stand against government impunity is simply after their pocket.

Yes, they are only deceiving themselves. They need to know that we are not stupid and unemployment rate is quite high
