What you should know

  • It can be recalled that Nasir Ladan had been at loggerheads with the supervising minister for his agency over the implementation of the Federal Government’s Special Works Programme.
  • Though the President had issued a directive authorising Festus Keyamo to go ahead with the execution of the programme, despite his disagreement with members of the national assembly who had suspended it, the DG was alleged to have made an arrangement with the federal legislators to proceed with alternative plans on the implementation of the programme.
  • The national assembly committees had said that they had approved the programme, expected to see to the employment of 774,000 across the country, and domiciled in NDE. They, however, insisted that Keyamo should not superintend it.
