No fewer than 16,000 people in Kwara State will benefit from the Federal Government’s public works programme.
The Chairman of the Kwara State selection committee for the programme, Oluwasegun Oyewo, disclosed this in Ilorin while distributing forms to beneficiaries in Kwara Central.
Oyewo said, “The selection of the beneficiaries of the Federal Government public works programme is non-partisan and apolitical. We have coordinators in every local government area of the state.”
He explained that the coordinators were expected to go to each ward in every LGA and make selections by giving forms to potential beneficiaries.
He clarified that, “All the forms will be submitted to the state selection committee and the committee will make selection for each council. As long as the merits are met, the programme will be transparent.”
The chairman said the potential candidates for the job must be between the ages of 18 and 50 and must be resident in Kwara State, and added that, “1,000 persons will benefit from every local government area of the state. The state has 16 local government areas. The total number of the beneficiaries in the state is 16,000.”
He assured that the committee would ensure that the 16,000 beneficiaries were people that truly deserved the jobs of N20,000 per month, spanning between October and December 2020.
