Three monarchs were included in the committee alongside seven others- Prof. Tajudeen Gbadamosi; Mrs Modupe Ola, Ashiru Olakunle, Labrar Folami, Olufeko Adebowale, Serena Edward and Akanni Babatunde.
The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr. Festus Keyamo (SAN), named Are as the chairman and Elesin as the vice-chairman.
Keyamo had on Monday inaugurated, by virtual means, the 20-member committees in the 36 States and the FCT that will select the 1000 persons per Local government area that would be engaged by the Federal Government in the Special Public Works Programme.
The programme seeks to employ about 774, 000 youths for three months and they would be engaged in unskilled jobs such as sweeping streets, clearing drainages, controlling traffic, and road construction among others.
They are to be paid N20,000 a month.
According to the Federal Government, interested youths are allowed to apply regardless of political affiliation.
Keyamo had earlier on Tuesday alleged that politicians were trying to hijack the recruitment.
