28 OCTOBER 2014

Staff of Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, (AOCOED), Ijanikin, on Monday besieged the Lagos State Secretariat and office of the State Governor Mr. Babatunde Fashola located in Alausa, Ikeja, to protest what they termed as series of anomalies in the institution.

The staff who brandished placards with inscriptions such as , 'Olukoga must go', 'Where is our cooperative funds', 'Bashorun must go', 'Fashola pay out four and half years salary arrears', among others said they were also protesting against the credibility of members of the ad-hoc committee set up by the governor to address the issues affecting institution.

Their protest march disrupted working activities in the Alausa secretariat while it lasted.

Addressing newsmen, Chairman of Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union, COEASU, Senior Staff Union in Colleges of Education, Nigeria, SSUCOEN and Non Academic Staff Union, NASU AOCOED, Mr. Michael Avosetinyen, Mrs. Wunmi Ombugadu and Mr. Femi Adebayo argued that the ad-hoc committee set-up by Governor Babatunde Fashola was not genuine.

Avosetinyen said some of the issues rocking the institution include, unpaid 18 months salaries, non-payment of pensioners' benefits for three years, non-remittance 7.5 percent deducted from worker's salary for 17 months into the Retirement Savings Account, RSA under the new pension scheme, over N150 million unremitted fund deducted from the co-operative funds, poor funding of the institution and others.

He explained that when the governor set up the ad-hoc committee, they were happy and responded immediately the committee invited the unions to a meeting.

FastShipping:
Akpabio in Akwa Ibom has not paid since September. Swine Flu in Benue has not paid salaries since July. Boko Haram sympathizer Governo of Bauchi has not paid salaries since August. They are all PDP governors.

Thanks for confirming that all these state governors are useless irrespective of their party affiliation and worse than the federal administration that we all cluelessly scream about.

Rockyheight:
Ajimobi in Oyo state has not paid september and october salaries. Fayemi OWned workers about 2 months or more salaries before he left, am sure if we look closely at Osun state we will notice some anomalies there? APC's re bigger fraud than Pdp God forbid they take over Aso rock

wilsondave:
I beg they are thesame joor. next thing we hear now is federal government has reduced allocation to states both parties are birds of the same feather. they have nothing to deliver than to lie and blackmail the good citizen of Nigeria and to steal our money. I belief there generation will also suffer this too.

Elderlywoman:
God will judge them all. Omu Eze Stella Odauh is also owing staff of SPG 5 months salary and does not remit Pension and taxes to the appropriate quarters.

divaoflife:
Something must be wrong somewhere;How come they are the only ones being owed 18months salaries?
Have they been working for the 18months?
How could they have been working for one and half years without pay?

Don't allow yourself to be deceived by our useless state governors saying the state allocations has been reduced.
Did they not sue the federal administration for the Sovereign Wealth Fund and subsidy deductions
So if indeed the allocations are being reduced unjustly they would have sued again, not so?

You may wish to note that road contracts awarded by states costs many times more per kilometer than those awarded by the federal government
Generally speaking corruption is highest at the LGA level followed by the state and the LEAST corrupt is the federal.

Only gullible ones will believe this. How can people with family work for good 18 months without pay? Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

"Fashola is working he's the best Governor ever he built Lagos"

EXCLUSIVE: Audit exposes massive corruption in Lagos local councils; indicts officials for squandering millions

The report also criticised another set of eight local government areas of piling up debts and failing to meet targeted revenue projections.
The LCDAs in this category are Eti-Osa East, Ikoyi-Obalende, Iru-Victoria Island, Yaba, and Agabo-Oke LCDAs.
The LGAs are Eti-Osa, Lagos Mainland, Somolu.
Together, the eight councils accounted for N788.3 million in debt, and fell short of the projected N831.5 million self-generated revenue, the report states.

With a series of loan deals, the World Bank in particular has been involved in the urban renewal programme of Lagos State as well as efforts to reform the policy environment.

Some of the latest approvals by the World Bank for the state include $42m loan deal approved by its Board of Executive Directors in March to support secondary education programme in the state.

The new International Development Association credit of $42m to the Lagos EKO Secondary School Project was an addition to the original credit of $95m; which was said to have systematically benefited over 620,000 students a year in 667 public secondary schools in the state between 2009 and 2013.

The school loan was shortly followed by an approval of $200m to the state to support reforms pertaining to fiscal sustainability, budget planning, budget execution and the investment climate.

Right here =>




and his lap dog quickly cued in:

biafranqueen:
Don't blame them it is almost impossible to do their job proper imagine Fashola gave the Governor lodge to Tinubu built roads and gave his Godfather the toll contract, he bought bullet proof vehicles and commissioned private company projects that these same people came here to claim as his 8 years accomplishments. I guess they feel if they tell a lie long enough we will start to believe it
Fashola until 2019
