The state of the major road that led to my community continue to make me feel bad. The Old Obadore Road remain bad as it as for the past few years and it seems like the government have neglected it and show no concern. This is a community in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State and Igando/Ikotun LCDA. It is a place where commercial and industrial activities take place. The residents of this community has been in hell for the past few years suffering bad road despite sharing boundary with Ogun State and serving as short cut to other communities in lagos, like Abaranje and Okerube.

The community is also confronted with some

infrastructuralchallenges as the government seems to have neglected Akesan, there is problem of erosion which is caused by the absence of drainage system in the community.

Also, erosion and flooding which we experience year after year in the community are threat to our existence as a community, many families are yet to get over the damages it left behind.

During the period also, cars and other road users are prevented from using the road by erosion and flood. We are appealing to the government, our elected and appointed representativesto carry the community along in the developmental journey of the state. we therefore, appeal to the leadership of the local and state government to proffer lasting solution to alleviate the suffering, many of the affected are traders and residents that are regular tax payers.

LONG LIVE AKESAN!

LONG LIVE IGANDO/IKOTUN LCDA!

LONG LIVE ALIMOSHO LGA!

LONG LIVE LAGOS STATE!

LONG LIVE NIGERIA!

Jonathan’s Gift to Workers: Minimum Wage Now N18,000
•New salary to be paid from August
From Kunle Akogun and Damilola Oyedele in Abuja, 05.02.2010

A new pay package for Nigerian civil servants will be operational in three months, Acting President Goodluck Jonathan, has said. When operational, the least paid worker would go home with N18,000 at the end of every month as against the N7,500 minimum wage that presently obtains.

Jonathan while addressing workers on the occasion of the May Day celebration, pleaded with the civil servants to shelve their planned five-day warning strike scheduled to commence tomorrow, and assured them that the issues in dispute would be resolved within the next three months.
He also disclosed that he had directed the Minister of Labour, Chief Chukwuemeka Wogu, to ensure that negotiations with the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council achieves the desired results within the next three months.
“This important assignment of which I understand you are respectfully represented in the committee is nearing conclusion. The National Committee on Parameters for Wages in the public segment is also working assiduously to ensure that we have a mechanism that will make for adjustment on workers’ remuneration gradual.

KBrown:
As I have stated on this page, I am committed to ensuring social justice and restoring the dignity of labour in Nigeria which is why I have signed into law the Minimum Wage Act which mandates every employer of labour to pay at least N18,000 per month to the least paid staff. We have to motivate to create wealth. We may have much or little but what little we have, must be shared more equitably. GEJ

***************************************

Again, Goodluck has shown his critics that he is a caring leader.
Right from when he cancelled his trip abroad to parley with labour leaders to his attention towards almajiris to federal universities in every state to ongoing power plant projects and others too numerous to remember at once JUST WITHIN ONE YEAR, Goodluck has continued to show that he is the caring leader Nigerians yearn for. GEJ ALL THE WAY!

FG, States, LGs Share N568.4 Billion for Oct

Also, $1billion was proposed for distribution to complement shortfall in expected revenue." The $1billion is a compromise by the FG over its words in September not to augment shortfalls anymore.

Responding to the presentation, the chairman of the States Commissioners of Finance and Ebonyi State Commissioner of Finance, Mr Timothy Odaah, lamented that the statutory allocation was getting smaller and smaller. "It appears this is the worst in terms of returns. This is the least in allocations as far as this year is concerned. We are mourning the dearth of funds and this is a wakeup call for states and local governments to buoy up their internally generated revenue."

While appreciating the "magnanimity" of President Goodluck Jonathan to approve the $1billion from the excess crude account and to be shared among the federal, state and local governments, Odaah expressed disappointment with the returns made by the NNPC.

He said that [size=14pt]the states had requested for $2bn[/size] to complement for the shortfall in revenue but got only $1billion. In September, Odaah and fellow commissioners had walked out of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) when the federal government said that the framework of the 2013 budget was no longer realistic and it won't augment shortfall in revenue. Odaah raised issues with the statutory allocations of previous months.

Nigeria denies hiring mercenaries to fight Boko Haram
March 16, 2015







The Nigerian government has not hired any foreign mercenaries in its battle to defeat the Boko Haram insurgents, an official said on Sunday.
Mike Omeri, the Director General of the National Orientation Agency, NOA, stated this on Sunday when he paid a courtesy call to PREMIUM TIMES head office in Abuja.

The official’s statement comes amidst reports that the Nigerian military hired mercenaries from South Africa and other countries since the renewed offensive against the insurgents began on February 14. Several territories initially captured by the insurgents have since been retaken by Nigerian soldiers working with soldiers from neighbouring West African countries. Mr. Omeri said a lot of Nigerians mistake consultants helping in the deployment and use of newly acquired military hardware as mercenaries.

“When our weapons were acquired recently, we needed training because training component came with the people who supplied these weapons,” he said. “It is therefore easy to see a white man where these things are happening like in Maiduguri and elsewhere and conclude that we have mercenaries.”

“What we have are trainers who came from security companies to help us manage and learn how to use some of the much more modern weapons because there is no time; we are in a war situation and we need the capability to use the weapons immediately.”
