The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday engaged in a war of words with the Minister of State for labour and employment, Festus Keyamo over the planned recruitment of 774,000 Nigerians.
The lawmakers disagreed with the Minister when he disclosed President Muhammadu Buhari had mandated his ministry to supervise the recruitment.
The Senators, however, disagreed with him, leading to a war of words between the two parties.
The inability of the Director-General of the NDE, Mr. Nasiru Ladan to defend the N52 billion budgeted for the recruitment of 774,000 Nigerians under the NDE was said to have started the tussle.
