FG extends 774,000 Special Public Works programme

Why govt sacked former DG of NDE, by Keyamo

The Federal Government has approved the extension of the Special Public Works (SPW) programme.

Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, disclosed this in Nasarawa State, yesterday, at the opening of a three-day training/meeting of zonal directors and state coordinators of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE).

The SPW programme targets the employment of 774,000 people: 1000 from each of the country’s 774 local government areas.
    
Keyamo said President Muhammadu Buhari has asked the Directorate to develop a blueprint for the second phase of the programme. 

“The Federal Government has expressed its desire to extend the programme. Therefore, we need to go back to Mr. President with a clear template on what we did and what we need to do to improve,” he said. He, however, did not give a definite timeline for the commencement of the second phase or format.

He said: “We really do not know when the next programme will commence and do not also know the format it will take. This meeting will formulate all of that and then submit our report to Mr. President who will decide the next line of action.

“But what is sure is that the programme will continue. This workshop is to take stock of the challenges that we confronted in the implementation process of the 774,000 SPW and fine-tune the processes going forward.”

The minister also gave a hint on why the immediate past Director-General of NDE, Dr Ladan Argungu, was sacked unceremoniously. 
     
He said: “There were attempts at embarking on a ‘second list, which was why the immediate former Director-General was removed. When I saw that, I complained to Mr. President that the programme might fail because people did not follow the laid down guidelines.

“People that complained they did not get paid were not on the list that the supervising minister approved. The allegation that I hijacked the list did not make sense because I am the supervising minister of the NDE. The buck stops on my table. While I was the one that would choose those that would be on the list, it is my job to set the policy on how to choose the beneficiaries.”

Keyamo said the involvement of Christian and Islamic organisations, non-governmental organisations, market and professional groups was aimed at safeguarding the credibility of the initiative and ensure it reaches the real vulnerable groups in the society.
    
He said: “The vulnerable people are found in churches, mosques, markets, civil society, and labour groups were part of the committee that chose the beneficiaries.”
    
Faulting critics, who insinuate that the programme is a means of rewarding party men across the country, Keyamo said: “This programme is different from loan schemes that give money to build cottage industries. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) does that.”

Commercial cleaners basically perform the same services as residential cleaners — dusting, vacuuming, and polishing, but on a larger scale and with the addition of services like replenishing paper products and soaps, washing windows, stripping floors, and emptying trash and recycling receptacles. The only real downside to commercial cleaning is that in most cases the cleaning must be performed nights and/or on weekends after the business or office closes, which is actually a positive for people who want to keep their day jobs but still be able to earn extra money working nights and weekends.

  31. Consultation processes address regulatory challenges facing Australia’s medicinal cannabis industry. Research continues to be conducted on the potential uses of medicinal cannabis. The scientific evidence base suggests that medicinal cannabis may be suitable to treat: “Improving doctor and patient communication about medicinal cannabis use may improve levels of medical oversight, the preference for legal medicinal cannabis adoption over acquisition via illicit supply and reducing cannabis-associated stigma.” Dr Richard di Natale, outgoing Senator and former leader of the Australian Greens, and Prof Iain McGregor, Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapeutics, University of Sydney discuss the use of medicinal cannabis in Australia – what it is, available forms, access issues in Australia and the current evidence for use. https://www.earthguest.net/forum/profile/edwina52p89538/ Offering free same day local delivery!

If you hover in this chat widget area you’ll notice a new dropdown menu link appear in the top right. One of the settings is labelled “Show in chat list”.

The steps also cover how to combine two or more sets of exported Google Contacts addresses into a single usable list without duplicates.

Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) is a low-level technique of preventing memory corruption attacks such as buffer overflows. It involves placing data in randomly selected locations in memory in order to make it more difficult to predict ways to corrupt the system and create exploits. ASLR makes app bugs more likely to crash the app than to silently overwrite memory, regardless of whether the behavior is accidental or malicious.
