The Senior Special Assistant to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on
Media, Laolu Akande, on Friday disclosed that the Federal Government has
employed 200, 000 graduates to work as teachers and agricultural
extension workers in the country.
Speaking at the second Presidential economic communication workshop
in Abuja, the Vice President’s aide said those employed will earn
N30,000 monthly.
Disclosing that the new employees would work in their states of
residence, the VP’s media aide said their local governments would be in
charge of their supervision.
Akande said the selection process was completed “a couple of weeks
back,” but BVN screening for the candidates delayed the exercise.
According to Akande, “We have selected 200,000 graduates out of 500,000. This is the first batch.
“One hundred and fifty thousand will work as teachers while 50, 000 will work as extension workers.
“Their pay which is 30, 000 per month, will go directly into their account.”
