EDOJOBS is a human capital development initiative set up to train and match job seekers residing in Edo State with opportunities. The pilot will be rolled out with the following programmes: Revenue Collection, Waste Management, Agriculture and Traffic Management.

This administration’s progressive agenda is a people oriented one to pursue policies that will help improve the lives of the populace “Edo residents”, to take advantage of this golden opportunity to key into Governor Godwin Obaseki’s 200,000 jobs which will kick-start on Tuesday March 7, 2017 and last for the next 30 working days. Registration will be at the local government secretariat across the eighteen (18) local government areas of Edo state.

Edo State government is set to send people “professional crowd control officers, data entry staffs and biometric attendants” round the state to register people who do not have jobs so that this government can have a major database and therefore know how to begin to plan and when things come up, they can be reached.
