FESTUS KEYAMO, SAN, THE ORACLE FROM THE Minister of State. Speaks on 774,000 Jobs

PRESS RELEASE BY THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF STATE, LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT, MR. FESTUS KEYAMO, SAN, FCIArb (UK)- JUNE 30, 2020 PURPORTED SUSPENSION OF SELECTION PROCESS OF 774,000 JOBS BY NATIONAL ASSEMBLY COMMITTEES: ALL STATES’ SELECTION COMMITTEES SHOULD PROCEEED WITH THEIR WORK UNHINDERED. Today, in obedience to their invitation, I appeared before the Joint Committees on Labour of both the Senate and the House. The Distinguished Senators and Honourable Members sought to be briefed on the implementation of the Special Public Works Programme so far. However, there was a misunderstanding between us when they questioned why I did not privately submit the program to them for vetting before taking certain steps. They suggested that they ought to have an input on how the programme should be implemented. In other words, they sought to control the programme as to who gets what, where and how. However, I insisted that I could not surrender the programme to their control since their powers under the constitution does not extend to that. They insisted on a closed door session. At this point, I remarked that it was only fair for me to respond to their position before the press, since their own position was also made public. In any case, I remarked that the Nigerian people deserve to know the details of the execution of this all-important programme. I was then asked to apologize for insisting on a public interaction and I said there was nothing to apologize about, because their powers to expose corruption provided for in section 88 of the Constitution cannot be exercised in private. As such, there was no need to apologize by insisting on a Constitutional provision. Even their Rules that may provide for private hearings on public matters cannot override the provisions of the Constitution. I was then permitted to leave. I took a bow and left. I NEVER walked out on the respected Committees as they may want to bend the narrative. After I left, I understand that the Joint Committees purportedly suspended the work of the Selection Committees nationwide until they decide how the programme should be run and who should be in those Committees. My opinion is that it is tantamount to challenging the powers of Mr. President. I regret to say that their powers under section 88 of the 1999 Constitution is only limited to investigations, but NOT TO GIVE ANY DIRECTIVE TO THE EXECUTIVE. A Committee or Committees of both Houses do not even have powers to pass binding Resolutions. They can only make recommendations to Plenary. In this case, even Plenary CANNOT give DIRECTIVES to the Executive. All my life, I have fought for good governance and constitutional democracy. I will not come into government and be intimidated to abandon those principles. I will rather leave this assignment, if Mr. President so directs than compromise the jobs meant for ordinary Nigerians who have no Godfathers or who are not affiliated to any political party. I therefore, respectfully further direct all the Committees set up nationwide made up of CAN, NSCIA, NURTW, Market Women, CSOS, Youth Organisations, respected traditional rulers, etc to proceed with their work unhindered. Only Mr. President can stop their work. Thank you. FESTUS KEYAMO, SAN, FCIArb(UK) Hon. Minister of State.

National Assemble Member Make's Move On N-power Batch A And Batch B.

NASS has wielded into the disengagement plan by FG to exit batches A and B NPower volunteers. The move became necessary following the out cry of the volunteers requesting FG to give them a permanent jobs.

The leadership of the NASS will meet president Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday night and also the minister of FMHASD to appear before its adhoc committee on social investment program and social security to intimate the law makers on the plan the ministry have for the npower volunteers.

The source stated that the minister of finance has also been invited to appear before the law makers on thursday 2nd July to explain to plans the government has for it's teaming youths.

Some law makers stated that the move to intervene became absolutely necessary because npower serves as a means of livelihood for almost 85% of the beneficiaries. And many npower volunteers are married with children with many siblings and relatives to carter for and therefore depend so much on the monthly stipends of 30,000 for their survival.

The law makers are making move to get the attention of Mr president to re-consider his stand on sacking the beneficiaries rather attach them to various MDAs of FG and the States.

The law makers have also invited the chairman of Governors forum, his Excellency Dr. Kayode Fayemi to also brief the Senate on Thursday this week and house of representatives on Tuesday next week on way forward.

The beneficiaries have been crying without any one to console them. It was also reported that a beneficiary from Ibadan committed suicide on hearing the news last week. The NASS noted that many will still commit suicide considering the economic challenges coused by COVID 19 pandemic. The law makers stated that this is not the right time to disengage any worker.

The law makers stated that it will not tell good about APC led FGN. Off loading more than 500,000 young Nigerians into unknown world poses great danger to the nation especially at this point that unemployment in the country is so higher.

Law makers are of the opinion that there is no point asking the existing ones to leave instead the government should forget about batch C and maintain the existing ones.

DR TUNDE OSINOWO NEXT LEADER TO REPRESENT LAGOS EAST AT THE RED CHAMBER.

DR TUNDE OSINOWO TO REPRESENT LAGOS EAST AT THE RED CHAMBER. 

Peharps I should quickly quote the words of AP Gianini(1870_1949)

I leave everything to the young men,you ve got to give youthful men authority and responsibility if you are going to build up a strong country  otherwise nothing will be left behind....

The youths are the leaders of tommorrow they say,this saying I have know since infancy and I have been wondering if that's true in it's real sense. 

It might be true but I find my mind to be more comfortable with saying it the other way round. The youths are the leaders of NOW.

However it may be wheather the leaders of today or tomorrow, all that matters is the difference from yesterday. 

The time has come for us to mark the eve of the long awaited tomorrow for the youths to realize their position of leadership in the Nigerian society. 

Different Generations have come and passed but upon the present lies a greater expectation. 

Who the cap fits let him wear it.

The call is now ,let the youth be allowed to participate again at all level of governance, just to mention a few ,

General Yakubu Gowon was 31years old when he took over the reign of power as Nigeria head of state in 1966.

General Murtala Muhammed was 37years old when he ruled. 

General Obasanjo during his first Military rule was 39years old Professor Pat Utomi and others were very young when they served our country and they all left their indelible Marks on the sand of time. 

 _

DR TUNDE OSINOWO 

LEADER OF NOW_

He needs to be given a chance as a vibrant youth to exhibit his prowess to be the next Senator to represent Lagos state East SENATORIAL district at the red Chamber in Abuja not only as a compensation for all Senator Bayo Osinowo has done and contributed to the development of democracy in Nigeria but also to give the Nigerian teeming youths a voice. 

Let's make the saying to be more obvious enough that the youths are the leaders of now.

Covid-19 Notification Now On Your Smartphone.

• 

Using the COVID-19 exposure notifications system on your Android phone

You can be notified if you've been exposed to someone who reported having COVID-19 by turning on exposure notifications. If you change your mind, you can turn it off.

To use the system, you will need to download your public health authority's app.

If you have COVID-19, you may share that info with the app to help alert people that you've been in contact with.

If you've been exposed to someone who has shared that they have COVID-19, the app will notify you and give you further instructions.

What you need to get started

Download an app from your region's government public health authority. 

To find out if an app is available, check with your government.

Turn on your phone's Bluetooth. Learn how to turn on Bluetooth.

Turn on your phone's location setting. Learn how to turn on location. 

The system uses this to scan for Bluetooth signals

 The system does not collect or track your location.

How exposure notifications work

When you turn on exposure notifications within an app from your region's government public health authority, your phone shares random IDs with other nearby phones that also have turned on the exposure notifications system.

Throughout the day, your phone and the phones around you exchange random IDs. When your phone detects a random ID from another device, it records and stores the ID.

If someone reports having COVID-19 and their ID is stored on your phone, the app will notify you of the next steps to take.

How the app may determine exposure

The government public health authority determines which factors might indicate exposure.

If the app learns that you've come into contact with someone who reports themselves as having COVID-19, the system shares with the app:

The day that the contact happened.

How long the contact lasted.

The Bluetooth signal strength of that contact.

The public health authority app is not allowed to use your phone's location.

The exposure notifications system itself does not use your location or share other users’ identities with the app, Google or Apple.

If you have COVID-19

In the public health app, you may report yourself as having COVID-19.

The app may ask you to share your random IDs. 

This helps the public health authority to notify others.

The app may then check if your random IDs are stored on other people's devices. It may alert others who came into contact with you. Those other people won't know your identity.

How the exposure notification system protects your privacy

You decide if and when to share your data.

All of the exposure notification matching happens on your device, which means that only you and your app know if you report having COVID-19 or been exposed to someone who has reported having COVID-19. Your identity is never shared with other users, Apple or Google.

When you download a public health authority app, you can opt in to use exposure notifications.

If you have COVID-19, you can choose to share your random IDs with the app.

To help prevent tracking, your phone's random ID changes every 10–20 minutes.

Your phone only stores random IDs from the last 14 days.

The public health authority app is not allowed to use your phone's location or track your location in the background.

Only official public health authority apps can use the system.

Turn off exposure notifications

Delete your exposure history

If you were exposed to someone who reported having COVID-19

Let's know if this is helpful?
