Recruitment of 774,000 federal government Job begins.

Muhammadu Buhari has given the Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, permission to go ahead with the recruitment process of the 774,000 jobs across the country under the government special public works progamme.

Recall that the Joint Committee on Labour, Productivity and Employment of the National Assembly had recently announced the suspension of the programme and directed the Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment, NDE, to take control and bring to the parliament how he intends to execute the programme.

He also said that the legislature will not dictate to the executive, adding that the action of the National Assembly on the execution of the programme was an affront on President Buhari.
