, has described the controversy surrounding the planned employment of 774,000 Nigerians as an attempt by the National Assembly to bypass him in the implementation of the project.
Mr Keyamo accused the lawmakers of wanting to sabotage the recruitment process despite receiving 15 per cent jobs slots. The committee later demanded that the programme be suspended until the modalities for the exercise have been explained to the lawmakers. However, addressing journalists after the meeting, Mr Keyamo said the programme cannot be implemented without his approval according to the NDE Act.
“When you say go back and bring a plan, you are still coming back to me. Secondly, if you look at section 15 of the NDE Act, it said the minister may give directives of a general nature to the NDE. In other words, you cannot have a work plan without coming back to the minister.” “Beyond the general mandate the president gave, the president also specifically instructed me by memo in May this year for me to go and supervise the execution of this project. How can you supervise a project without your final approval. That approval lies on my table,” he said.Section 16 of the NDE Act, by instruction of the president, an inter-ministerial committee has already been proposed – which we accepted – that the committee must drive the selection process.
