It was a stormy session in the Senate in Tuesday as the Senate joint committee on labour and productivity engaged the Minister of State for Labour, Employment and Productivity, Festus Keyamo, over the recruitment of 774,000 Nigerians under the National Directorate of Employment (NDE).
While the Minister insisted on an open deliberation on the issues raised about the recruitment process in each local government areas of the federation, the lawmakers pushed for a closed-door session.
Keyamo’s insistence led to a shouting match between both sides ending with the lawmakers ordering him to leave the hearing. As journalists followed Keyamo for an interview, the door was shut at them.
The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) says transport fare will have to be increased as commercial vehicle workers resume interstate movement. While some states started restricting border movements in April 2020 in a bid to contain the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the Federal Government implemented a nationwide ban on interstate movement in early May. However, the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 announced on Monday, June 29 that interstate movement can now resume across the country starting from Wednesday, July 1. Chief among safety measures ordered by the government is that vehicles can only fill 50% of their capacities. Acting General Secretary of the NURTW, Kabiru Yau, said on Tuesday, June 30 that this could force drivers to hike transport fare if they’re not supported by the government. He said, “Due to the spacing in the vehicles which will require the drivers to carry only nine or ten instead of the usual 18 passengers, the income of the drivers will be reduced. “So we want the government to help subsidise the cost of those passengers that we will not be carrying or we will have to increase our transport fare.” The PTF chairman, Boss Mustapha, said on Monday that the ban was lifted because it was not working, and created a side business for agents who were profiting from allowing illegal movement by charging motorists and travellers. “People were paying so much to embark on those unnecessary illegal trips,” he lamented. Movement across state boundaries are allowed between 4 am and 10 pm, as the nationwide curfew between 10 pm and 4 am remains in place. Safety guidelines issued by the government to the transport union in the administration of motor parks and terminals include disinfection and sanitisation, social distancing in waiting areas, posting of notices on conduct of persons, temperature checks, wearing of face masks, and other crowd control measures. Yau said all the measures will be implemented with motorists and passengers to combat the spread of the disease that has already infected 25,133 people and killed 573 in Nigeria 📹: @pulsenigeria247
