Candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in the forthcoming governorship polls in the state, Tony Nwoye,
has said students in the state will have the opportunity of earning at least
N15,000 during long vacation holidays if they enrol into a holiday job scheme
he is proposing.
In a statement, he said that the
scheme also incorporated a paid internship programme under which participants
will work lesser hours.
He said: “Job will be exclusive
to students from SS1, both male and female. These students will be sent to
Government institutions or private companies to work during the period of their
long vacation.
“The maximum number of months to
work will be two months but a student can work for less if he or she wishes.
“For every student that will be
employed under this scheme, my administration will pay N15,000 naira per month
to such student and a Thank You letter signed by me and delivered to the
ministry of youth to be given to the student on the completion of this work.
“Internship will be open to all
students, both male and female from JSS 1. Unlike Holiday Jobs, those under
this scheme will work fewer hours and should not be allowed to work for more
than one month so as not to be exploited by some employers.
“They will be posted to both
public and private institutions including private companies. The students under
this category will be paid N15,000 at the completion of this programme and a
letter sent to them and signed by me.”
