The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr. Festus Keyamo (SAN), named Mutiu Are an APC chieftain as the chairman and a former council boss, Kayode Elesin as the vice chairman of the committee.

Keyamo had on Monday virtually inaugurated the 20-member committees in the 36 states and the FCT that would select the 1,000 persons per local government area that would be engaged by the Federal Government for the special public works programme.
However, many Nigerians had thronged social media platform, Twitter to express their views on the appointment of both Tinubu-Ojoand MC Oluomo into the committee.
Some of the reactions:
It was clearly stated the committee is made up of CAN, CSOs, traditional rulers, NSCIA, NURTW, Market orgs, youth orgs etc but all you saw was MC Oluomo and Iya Oloja….to be honest, some of you are just internet idiots whose sole aim is just to rile up people and nothing else https://t.co/xddphVu8i7

MC Oluomo a known tout and thug is being moved up by Bourdillon to get Federal Appointment while you with an SSCE, BSc, MSc, PhD, is applauding and supporting such opprobium.
You are foolish and a disgrace.

I don't have any issue with MC Oluomo as person and I believe in grace, but I have issues with the process that brought him into limelight.
If this is what thuggery and being a rogue or a street fighter would give a man, then to hell with our educational system as a country.

It won't be bad if we can get Yahaya Bello and MC Oluomo on the same ticket.
Yahaya Bello will see to the economy and technology development (such as apps) while MC will use his experience to curb insecurity in the Country.
