Senate Suspend FG’s 774,000 Jobs Scheme.
On Tuesday, House of Representatives called for the immediate suspension of the Special Works Scheme of the Federal Government.
The National Assembly and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment clash over the recruitment process of 774,000 workers for the scheme.
The House during plenary directed the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget, and National Planning not to fund the scheme, which is expected to take off in January 2021.
The National Assembly had appropriated N52bn for the exercise in the 2020 Appropriation Act.
The House also condemned the removal of the Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment, Dr Nasiru Argungu.
President Muhammadu Buhari was called on by the House to reverse the removal of Argungu.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government, on Sunday, had announced that the 774,000 Special Public Works (SPW) project will commence January 5, 2021.
