Nigerians have taken to social media to condemn the minister of state for Labour and productivity for organising a jamboree to distribute wheelbarrows and cutlasses in his home state of Delta.
Keyamo travelled to his local government, Uvwie LGA to launch the public works programme of Buhari’s junta which many critics say is barbaric as it is an insult to the citizens.

As at 1987, Maryam Babangida’s Better Life for Rural Women empowered more Nigerian Families than this.

The job is 20k monthly and it will last for just 3months.

60k empowerment! After 3month, 774,000 people are back on the street.
46.4Billion will take 500 people off the street for life if invested into a sustainable startup business/company. But no, let share it to them.
All this fanfare replete with marquee tents and red carpet just to "launch" wheelbarrow and cutlass in 2021? I detest you lot in government.
