FCT Minister Denies Lying About Jobs


The Minister of State for Federal Capital Territory, Olajumoke Akinjide on Friday rejected the report detailing a failed job registration she announced, putting up claims her ministry generated thousands of jobs in the last one year, and plans for more.



The report contradicted the minister’s pledge in November of a "massive" job drive in Abuja before the end of 2012.
The jobs, Ms. Akinjide said, were to be under the federal government administered Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme, and targeted 10,000 slots.
But with the year winding to an end from November, the minister advised interested applicants to register for the slots at the FCT Social Development, a directive that proved misleading as the exercise did not hold.
Applicants who responded to the call found no registration going on at the Social Development Secretariat or elsewhere, and repeated inquiries and visits by reporters confirmed same.
