The Nigerian state of Bayelsa’s government said it plans to generate 7,000 new temporary jobs from the implementation of projects funded from a USD 50 million dollars development loan from the World Bank, reports the Sun News Online. Project Coordinator of State Expenditure Ayens Adogu stated that 3,000 jobs have already been created in the first phase of the project and they are on target to generate 7,000 at the end of the second phase. Many of the new temporary jobs went to youths who provided labour for the concrete road projects for a one-year period.  “The development of some micro projects were implemented with direct labour approach, to engage unemployed youths who were trained in skills and entrepreneurship and to enable them to seek self-employment at the end of the temporary jobs,” Adogu said.
