FG’s 740, 000 jobs: I’ll quit Buhari’s govt if politicians hijack process ― Keyamo

Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has threatened to resign from the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration if the approved recruitment of 774, 000 people is hijacked by politicians.

The Minister, issued the threat on Wednesday while inaugurating the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Extended Special Public Works Across the 774 Local Government Areas of the Federation.

Mr. Keyamo who explained that the committee was set up to devise a strategy for the implementation of the job creation, said the pilot scheme was approved to be implemented in five local government areas in eight states of Adamawa, Borno, Ebonyi, Edo, Ekiti, Jigawa, Katsina and Kwara.

The beneficiaries he said will be engaged in drainage digging and clearance, irrigation canals clearance, rural feeder road maintenance and maintenance of the great green wall nurseries as well as orchards.

Others are traffic control, street cleaning, cleaning of public infrastructures like health centres, schools and the likes, adding that a total of 40.000 direct transient jobs were expected to be created in the eight pilot states.

The minister said the programme was designed to mitigate lack of job opportunity in the rural area through short term engagement of one thousand (1000) unemployed persons per local government for a period of three months.

He said the programme which is a dry season transient job projects is targeting the rehabilitation/maintenance of public and social infrastructure with the participants largely drawn from the pool of unskilled rural persons.

Asked if politicians won’t hijack the process, the minister said, ”this is not for PDP or APC, who will want slot from my local government because I am a politician, but I assure you it will not happen.

“I will leave this job if they want to insist that it will happen. Mr President is targeting ordinary Nigerians who are neither PDP nor APC nor just anything. They just want to get jobs, they just want to feed their family.

“This is not a time for us to empower our followers as politicians. We are going to dig deep, it is one of the recommendations you are going to make, that is why you are here.”

He tasked members of the committee to make a recommendation on how best the projects can be executed.

“Recommend to us a model to adopt, we will meet Mr President for approval. The various interest groups, Traditional Rulers, NURTW, representative of the people and so on. Those who have direct contact with the people at the grassroots.

“Let us make it clear today that, we are not going to bow down to the pressure of any politician to come and hijack this program, it will be well modelled, well-executed and it will reach ordinary Nigerians, ” he said.

He recalled that President Buhari had in October 2019 approved a pilot special public works programme, for implementation by the National Directorate for Employment (NDE) in five Local Government Areas each of eight pilot states.

He said that the programme was a Federal Government job creation drive, designed to “mitigate lack of job opportunity in the rural area through short term engagement of one thousand (1000) unemployed persons per Local Government Areas (LGA) for a period of three (3) months,” with a payment of N20,000 monthly allowance to the beneficiaries.

Bvertaper:
Tell them

So, you believed him
Your shame dey shame me.

Political statement

You're deceiving yourself and your ancestors

Eye service.
Of course, he refused to resign when CBN, NNPC, FIRS and Customs recruiment were hijacked by the fulani regime because the recruitments was strictly reserved for children of those in power with no good qualifications. While gutter cleaners and soakaway/waste disposal squard is reserved for Nigerian graduates with Bsc and Msc.
It's no surprise that an illitrate with no WAEC certificate is ruling Nigeria.
Useless regime.


ONE NIGERIA IS DEAD!

He explained that “this is not for PDP or APC, I assure you it will not happen.


Be deceiving yourself. Remember, when his Oga said, he's not for anyone, he's for everyone. Two days ago, he sent 110 trailers of rice to Kano state as palliative and send 180 bags of expired rice to the Yorubas.

We are watching with eagles eyes

Story

I laugh in Swahili. Attention seeker.

Nothing new. Na the normal Nigerian way.

Help a dying family please. A family of 5 and currently has nothing to feed on again. Begging should be shameful but reality leaves one with no option. Anything for us (especially my kids) will be unimaginably appreciated. God bless.

You better resign now. There are no politicians in Nigeria but business men. You cannot tell them to chill now that they have opportunity to make returns on their investment.

Meanwhile, the two Governor's that wanted to escape to enjoy their loot while people perish from this virus are: Okezie LASTman and Madam Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi

Hmmm. Audio recruitment . You start with 4 northern states then handpicked favourite ones to start with.

He better starts packing up his things to resign cos there is no way in hell there won't be hijacking

Nigeria is sliding into recession.

There will be no money to hire 774,000 people and pay them.

Oil has plumetted, the cash cow is gone, budget has been altered naturally.

You think all Nigerians are stupid?
Nope, we are not.
...and some peepz above believe that there's hope of employment for the unemployed via this medium.
I beg your pardon.
