Festus Keyamo, Minister of State for Labour and Employment, engaged in a rowdy session with lawmakers during a committee meeting over the allocation of N52bn for the creation of 774,000 jobs for Nigerians.
The initiative was to employ 1,000 unskilled persons per local government area on a short term engagement for a period of three months.
During the meeting which was held at the National Assembly in Abuja, members of the Senate and House of Representatives Joint Committee on Labour sought to find out the method of selection of a 20-man committee from each state for the programme.
