A mild drama occurred on Tuesday in the Senate as the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, exchanged words with the Senate Committee on Labour and Employment and Productivity and those of the House of Representatives over innovative public works job creation programme meant to create 774,000 unskilled jobs.

Trouble started when the Minister was accused of lopsidedness in the process of recruitment of the 774,000 persons across the country’s 774 local government areas.

The lawmakers accused Keyamo of failure to carry them along.

After Keyamo was accused of lopsidedness in the process of the recruitment, the lawmakers called for a closed-door session.

But the Minister said he was invited for public hearing and not closed door meeting, adding that he will not say anything unless there is media presence.

Keyamo, while briefing the newsmen after he was walked out the Committee Room, accused the lawmakers of planning to hijack the process of recruitment.

According to him: “They started mounting pressure to me to bring those that will be recruited from state to state. They want to me tell them how the programme will be done from state to state.”

“I said you can’t direct me how to do that because that is taking over the power of the President (Muhammadu Buhari). You can’t accuse me of lopsidedness issue publicly and close the door.”

“I did not insult them. I only insisted that we should do it publicly. They want to direct me on how to do it. They can’t direct me.”

Even Okonjo failed to help this country in spite of her prowess... NIGERIA! There's something intrinsically suspicious with anyone who likes that their attire (agbada or babariga). Most of them are greedy, proud, selfish and empty!

Buhari is a clueless entity

The truth is if lawmakers are involved in the process, they will just polticisize it, only their boys will get the job regardless of qualification.

This Is Interesting, Dayly Dramar Everywhere Since The Begining Of This Government.
But I Think The Best Thing To Be Done Is The Lawmakers Who Where Sent By The People To Represent Them, So They Have Right To Know The Skime Of Thing Abnut Employment.

Very good.

But children of hate, anger and perdition are coming for Keyamo regardless. 

Since is between a Buhari's minister and the NASS members, children of hate anger and perdition need not know what happened. All they know in this case is NASS members care for the masses.

Naija go soon collapse, very soon

The job of law makers is to make law and carry out oversight functions, not execute projects or programs. But Nigeria is a special case as every simple issue is turned into a horror show.

From Sen. Chuba Okadigbo to Sen. Ahmad Lawan, Nigeria Senate has been an arm of government known for big time wuruwuru.

Most of time I think about this nation and couldnt fathom how this country can be better.

Thieves

They'll sit on the slots. Stupid government

All Pandemic Congress will not allow us to deal with one pandemic at a time before they disintegrate and implode.
