The 774,000 public works project will not kick-start on Thursday, October 1, as planned.

This is because there was a delay in the release of funds for the project by the federal government.

Ministry of Labour and Employment has requested for the extension of the project’s kick-off date by 19 days.

The 774,000 jobs scheme has been hit by a slight setback as the federal government said the project will not kick-start on Thursday, October 1, as previously planned.

According to The Nation, the Ministry of Labour and Employment under which the project is being coordinated has forwarded a request to the presidency for the extension of programme’s kick-off date by 19 days.

Although the federal government is yet to approve the request, it was learnt the delay in the release of funds for the purchase of equipment necessitated the extension.
