Keyamo in his tweet post said, ‘’We understand some States’ Selection Committees are considering only indigenes for the 774,000 jobs. That’s unacceptable.

The Special Works Programme has been a source of disagreement between the Festus Keyamo, who has the presidential mandate to supervise the programme and members of the National Assembly over its implementation.

Nairametrics had reported that the disagreement made the National Assembly call for the suspension of the programme.

Despite the opposition from the legislature, the Federal Government went ahead to formally kick start the programme with the inauguration of the State Selection Committees in 36 states of the federation and the federal capital territory.

The programme which is coordinated by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment is part of the federal government’s intervention programmes and fiscal stimulus measures to help cushion the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Nigerians. The selection committees in various states were mandated to select 1,000 participants from each local government.
