The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced that the 774,000 public service programme might be extended beyond the proposed three months.
Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo made this known in a chat with journalists in Abuja.
He said, “I am confident that the SPW will succeed 100 per cent. We limited the scope to three months for the 774,000 workers because it is an expensive programme and we are facing drop in revenue.”
“There are so many exit strategies that the government is considering. Apart from that, the government may extend the programme or make it an annual event.” he added.
We are hoping all the best and hopefully to extend spw to be an annual programme for compensation of the poor Nigerian peoples
