The Oyo State Government says it is working towards setting up an employment scheme that will provide work opportunities for its repatriated indigenes. The Oyo State Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism stated this employment scheme in a statement it issued on Wednesday in Ibadan. It quoted the OYRTMA boss as saying that his agency would collaborate with Sarumi-Aliyu, to make life easier for the returnees. It said that it would create a special arrangement and training for some of them and subsequently co-opt them into the ‘OYRTMA Mayor Scheme’. “In addition, this will help take them off the street as they struggle to reintegrate back into the contemporary Nigerian society,” Fagbemi stated.
