The initiative, which is being handled by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment is targeted at providing jobs for 774,000 citizens across the 774 local governments in the country.
The jobs are basically unskilled labour, with a monthly wage of N20,000.
The Lagos State selection committee is chaired by Alhaji Mutiu Are, a member of the Lagos State Governor’s Advisory Council, and the former Kosofe Local Government, Vice Chairman, Barrister Kasim Kayode Eleshin (K.K Eleshin) as the Vice-Chairman.
The committee also includes the Iyaloja of Lagos, Mrs Folashadr Tinubu-Ojo, some traditional rulers, leaders of trade and labour associations as well as other stakeholders in Lagos.
In recent times, there have been whispers on the alleged involvement of the Lagos oligarchy in the re-branding of MC Oluomo in a bid to present him for political office in 2023.
