Drama Between The Best Minister of Semi-Annual, The Minister of State For Labour and Employment. FESTUS KEYAMO SAN
THE BEST MINISTER OF THE SEMI-ANNUAL, THE MINISTER OF STATE LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT MR. FESTUS KEYAMO
Drama played out on Tuesday as some senators walked the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, out of a meeting.
The lawmakers had invited Keyamo to give details of the Special Public
Works Programme where 774,000 people would be recruited by the Federal Government under the National Directorate of Employment
(NDE).
During the meeting which was held at the National Assembly in Abuja,
members of the Senate and House of Representatives Joint Committee on Labour sought to find out the method of selection of a 20-manvcommittee from each state for the programme.
However, a heated argument erupted between committee members and Keyamo over who should helm the programme which was to be domiciled under the NDE.
As the rowdy session ensued, the committee decided to go into a closed- door session to discuss the matter, but the minister refused, insisting thatvthe further discussions be held in the presence of journalists.
This enraged the lawmakers who told Keyamo to apologise to the committee, but he ignored them.
Thereafter, the minister was asked to leave the meeting since he refused to apologise to the committee members.
The lawmakers claimed that Keyamo has no right to direct the committee
on how to conduct its proceedings.
This comes a day after the minster inaugurated the 20-member committees in 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) by virtual means.
According to him, 1,000 persons would be selected from each of the 774 local government areas in the country to be engaged by the government in the Special Public Works Programme.
We feel lucky to have you as our Minister, It really fells so amazing. May Almighty Allah continue protecting Sir. Allahumma Amin
