That was the second time the Federal
Government would be shifting its position on the employment scheme which
it earlier promised would start in October.
Two weeks ago, Vice-President Osinbajo
was quoted as attributing the failure of the government to engage the
graduates in October as promised to the need to get the required
equipment.
He then assured Nigerians that the graduates would be engaged “in the next two weeks.”
But a statement by his Senior Special
Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande, on Sunday gave an
indication that the graduates would not start work up until December 1.
Akande said while the 200,000 graduates
were selected about two weeks ago, their names had been sent to state
governments and the Federal Capital Territory who would deploy them to
their specific programme assignments.
He said while beneficiaries’ names would
be published this week on the N-Power internet portal, they would start
receiving messages informing them of their selection from Monday.
