Nigeria’s Minister of Labour, Productivity and Employment, Chris Ngige, has apologised to the leadership of the National Assembly over last week’s face-off between the Minister of State for Labour, Festus Keyamo, and the joint Senate and House Committees on Labour, Productivity and Employment.
Ngige said, “Having visited your domain to the Joint Committee on Labour, Productivity and Employment over some issues of the Special Public Works Programme of the Federal Government, a Programme that was designed by the Executive with the legislature, if the Executive makes a proposal and it is not funded, then that proposal will be dead on the table.“We deeply regret the incident that happened, the altercation that followed it, between my Minister of State and members of the Joint Committee.
“Therefore, we decided that as a team, we would come with full force and give the necessary information that we need so that we can fast track this programme which was designed from the office of the President before the COVID-19. “We must work hand-in-hand without acrimony or even drawing a very rigid line of who has this power and who doesn’t. That is the only way the programmes of government can be made sustainable and executed for the benefit of our people.
“Therefore, Mr President, I apologize on behalf of my ministry for what took place the last time, and I hope this apology will be taken by members of the committee and the entire National Assembly, because I’m aware and I know that a Committee is a representative of the whole. The committee room is an extension of our hallowed chambers.
