As part of efforts to create employment for the youths and reduce crime in the society, the Kaduna State Government has concluded plans to recruit 2000 graduates from across the 23 Local Government Areas into the State Civil Service under the Subsidy Reinvestment Empowerment Programme (SURE-P).
The Deputy Governor and Chairman of the Committee on SURE-P, Mr Nuhu Bajoga, who disclosed this at a
news conference on Friday, said that the graduates would be sent to various ministries within the state to work for a year and would be paid N10,000 monthly in addition to the Federal Government N30,000 stipends.
He assured that at the end of their intensive training, none of the graduates would be sent back to labour market, as all would be employed.
Bajoga said that the need to recruit more graduates emanated because there were civil servants that have reached retirement age while some others have died, hence the need for more hands to be employed in the State Civil Service.
On the mechanism to check the performance of the SURE-P beneficiaries, Bajoga said that the State Government had provided appropriate measures to monitor those that were given starter packs recently in the state.
