Here is good news for Nigeria’s unemployed First Class honours degree holders: Your days of joblessness are as good as over as long as you can defend your certificate. This is because Senator Bukola Saraki has launched an employment scheme for the country’s First Class honours degree holders.

Unfolding details of the scheme through a statement signed by his Special Assistant Media and Advocacy, Bamikole Omishore, Saraki, the immediate past Governor of Kwara State, promised qualified candidates “immediate employment in various sectors.”

According to the statement, “Qualified candidates are to send a copy of their curriculum vitae (CV), degree certificate and a cover letter stating the duration of previous employment if any and how long they have been unemployed.

“All documents must be received not later than 12 April 2013. Qualified applicants should send documents to 1st@abubakarbukolasaraki.com or ABS constituency office, Mandate Building, Ilorin, Kwara state.”

News Express reports that further enquiries about the scheme and the contact form are available on www.abubakarbukolasaraki.com.
