<p><em>Keyamo Replies Reps Committee</em><br />
<strong><a href="https://openlife.ng/">OpenLife Nigeria</a></strong> reports that in what seems a calculated attempt to mislead the public on the working of various organs of government especially the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, the Honourable Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has made salient clarifications on what he describes as “Misrepresentation of facts,” by a committee in the House of Representatives probing “FG&#8217;s Public Works Scheme&#8217;s Failure.”<br />
In a statement signed by Tunde Moshood, SA Media and Communications in the Ministry, Keyamo emphasized that “The Extended Special Public Works programme, successfully implemented by the National Directorate of Employment under the supervision of the Minister of State, Labour and Employment, is a totally different scheme from the Presidential Youth Empowerment Scheme P-YES.”<br />
He noted that the ESPW under his supervision “Has been implemented successfully with about 90% of the 774,000 ESPW participants engaged by the scheme across the nation successfully paid.”<br />
Keyamo explained further that he is “Not directly or remotely in charge of the P-YES programme.”<br />
The statement reads:<br />
<em>The attention of the office of the Honourable Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has been drawn to the news making rounds in some section of the media titled; 774 Jobs: Reps Probe FG&#8217;s Public Works Scheme&#8217;s Failure. </em><br />
<em>The news where the House of Representatives&#8217; Committee on Youths, Labour, Finance and Appropriations was said to have been mandated to &#8220;carry out a probe into the non-implementation of the scheme&#8221;, after a motion moved by Honourable Gudaji Kazaure on the ‘Call to investigate the Presidential Youth Empowerment Scheme&#8217;, is a misrepresentation of facts.</em><br />
<em>To put the fact straight, the Extended Special Public Works programme, successfully implemented by the National Directorate of Employment under the supervision of the Honourable Minister of State, Labour and Employment is a totally different scheme from the Presidential Youth Empowerment Scheme P-YES. The Honourable Minister is not directly or remotely in charge of the P-YES programme.</em><br />
<em>The report of the alleged investigation into the Special Public Works Programme is therefore not just misleading but loaded with misinformation at the same time.</em><br />
<em>The article which ties the Extended Special Public Works Programme with the Presidential Youths Empowerment Scheme, P-Yes is purely a figment of the imagination of it&#8217;s purveyor.</em><br />
<em>The Extended Special Public Works Programme under the supervision of the Honourable Minister of State, Labour and Employment, <a href="https://punchng.com/">Festus Keyamo, SAN</a> has been implemented successfully with about 90% of the 774,000 ESPW participants engaged by the scheme across the nation successfully paid.</em><br />
Meanwhile, the second episode of the much-talked-about Federal Government&#8217;s Extended Special Public Works Programme rolls again tomorrow, Saturday, November 27th, 2021.<br />
The programme will feature activities of the participants of the 774,000 jobs anchored by the National Directorate of Employment-NDE and ably supervised by the honourable Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo SAN Fciarb (UK).<br />
The interesting breakfast 15-minute programme kicks off from 8.42 am-8.57 am on NTA Network Stations across the nation including NTAi.<br />
NTA channels are on all terrestrial stations, Channel 369 on DSTV, 105 on Star Times and will also stream live, <a href="https://www.nta.ng/live/">http://www.nta.ng/live.</a></p>
