Mr. Sanusi Kunde, Chairman, State Selection Committee on Federal government 774,000 jobs, Bauchi state chapter says 20,000 persons would be recruited across the 20 LGAs of the state and would be paid a stipend of N20,000 for a period of three months.

Kunde who made the disclosure in Bauchi on Wednesday during the inaugural meeting of the Committee, said that 1,000 persons would be recruited in each of the 20 LGAs of the state.

He added that the Committee was required to include 200 literate persons in every LGA that would be used to carry out nationwide surveys during the period of engagement.

“This programme as graciously approved by President Muhammadu Buhari is aimed at recruiting one thousand (1000) itinerant and unskilled workers each in all the 20 LGAs of the state.

“In total, we shall be recruiting 20,000 persons for this programme and based on the requests the Ministry of Labour received from other government agencies, we are required to include 200 literate persons.

“By extension, we are going to have 800 of unskilled labour, then we’ll fill it up with 200 literate persons. You are aware that almost all of us have graduates who are not working and this will help a lot.

“These recruits would be engaged by the federal government between October and December this year to carry out public works that are peculiar to each LGA and they would be paid a total of N60,000 each, that is N20,000 per month,” Kunde said.

The Chairman further disclosed that the recruits would be engaged in roads maintenance and social housing construction projects, Urban and rural sanitation, health extension and other critical services as required by each of the LGAs.

He explained that 40 persons each from all the LGAs had been reserved for the state governor, Bala Mohammed.

“Governors get 40 persons each from all the LGAs in the states.

“Senators get 30 persons each from only the LGA’s in the Senatorial District that the senator represents. If a principal officer of the National Assembly comes from your state, he gets 40 slots in all the LGAs within his district,” he said.

Kunde, however, urged the committee members to adhere strictly to the guidelines given to them which he said would enable them achieve the targets set by President Buhari to reach out to 774,000 Nigerians.

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara on Monday announced a plan by his administration to set up a panel to probe previous governments including the immediate past administration of Nyesom Wike.

Governor Fubara who has been in a face-off with Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, disclosed the plan after swearing in Dagogo Iboroma as the Attorney General of the state.

The governor expressed pessimism that the lingering political crisis currently rocking the state cannot be resolved anytime soon.

Apparently referring to Wike, the governor accused his opponents of deliberately sabotaging his administration while he was hopeful that the issue in the state would be resolved amicably.

Governor Fubara vowed to make tough decisions moving forward no matter how they would be perceived by the public.

Fubara also responded to recent comments by former Attorney General Zacchaeus Adangor, SAN, and his counterpart in the Ministry of Works Alabo George-Kelly.

According to the governor, the former attorney general alongside other critics of his administration have been sabotaging the progress of his government by filing nolle prosequi against the interest of the state.
