The number of unemployed people rose to 8.5 million, while the number of employed people fell by 16,000 to 16.7 million. The data shows job losses across key sectors including community and social services, mining, agriculture, manufacturing and utilities.

 4 HOUSES RAZED IN TARABA COMMUNITY AS WITNESS RECOUNT NARROW ESCAPE 


Suspected bandits fleeing military operations attacked Tarveshimam community in Ananum, Donga Local Government Area of Taraba State on Sunday evening, burning houses and sparking panic among residents.


Tarveshimam, a Tiv Christian settlement along the Mararaba Ichen–Donga Gaba road, has faced rising security concerns in recent times.


The attack reportedly occurred around 6:30 p.m. after bandits, said to have been overpowered by the Nigerian Army elsewhere, stormed the community.


A resident, Mr. Terwase, who survived the incident, said he was chased with a cutlass but managed to escape unharmed.


“They pursued me in my house, but I escaped,” Terwase recounted.


No casualties were recorded as of press time, but at least four houses were destroyed by fire.
