For those that will ask for picture....

The Lagos state government in the next two weeks will commence the recruitment of 1,000 teachers into Secondary schools.

This was captured in the governor's speech at the 4th Town Hall meeting in Badagry.

… Spends N115bn On capital projects in six months

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Tuesday said his administration has concluded plans to massively revamp the health sector, just as he among other things, revealed that the sum of N10bn has been earmarked to upgrade the health facilities across the State.

Ambode, who spoke at the 4th Quarterly Town Hall Meeting held at the Muslim Community Praying Ground in Badagry, said modern equipment would be procured to facilitate treatment, while government would also invest massively in capacity building of the medical staff, all in a bid to provide world class health care for the citizenry.

“We have commenced a comprehensive action to rehabilitate and upgrade the facilities in all our hospitals. Modern equipment will be procured to facilitate treatment and we will invest in capacity building of our medical staff. We intend to spend over N10bn on our hospitals across the State before December this year.

We will recruit and train medical professionals in areas of rare specialization and special needs,” Ambode said.

Speaking on the half year 2016 budget, Governor Ambode said the overall performance of the budget stood at 70 percent, which according to him, was an improvement over the corresponding period in 2015 when the performance stood at 63 percent.

He said: “Revenue recorded 73% performance for the half year 2016 despite the challenging economic environment. Your Government spent a total of N115.624bn on Capital projects during the half year 2016 leading to the Capital/Recurrent ratio of 50:50 with the plan to improve this ratio to 58:42 provided for in 2016 Appropriation Law in the remaining half of the year.”
The Governor, who reeled out his achievements in the last quarter, said he has greater plans to make life more comfortable, simpler and safer for the people.
For instance, on education, the Governor said his administration would establish a Technical and Vocational School in Badagry before September 2016, while government would also embark on upgrade of the infrastructure in all public schools starting from July.
According to the Governor, “All our Primary and Secondary schools will be upgraded to create conducive learning environment for students and teachers. Another N10bn has been earmarked for this facelift of our Secondary and Primary schools across the State.”

The Governor, who recalled the recruitment of a total of 1,300 teachers for Primary Schools, said in the next two weeks, the State Government will start recruiting another 1,000 teachers for Secondary Schools across the State.

Speaking on his plans for Youth and Sports for the quarter, the Governor said government would embark on upgrade of sports facilities and would also support and promote age-grade competitions and sponsor outstanding athletes to national and international training and competitions.

Ambode also disclosed that his administration would pay greater attention to the issues concerning the elderly especially by establishing three Elderly Care Centres across the State.

He said: “We will sponsor bills to the House of Assembly which will make specific provisions for the elderly in our society and create a framework for care for the aged. Our priority is to commence the provision of Three Elderly Care centres across the Three Senatorial Zones and further urge the private sector for support and collaboration thereafter.”
The Governor said as a follow up to the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) Response Unit in Cappa, Oshodi, an outpost unit would be situated between Ojo and Badagry in this quarter with two other outposts in Fadeyi and Lekki.
Governor Ambode, who spent hours interacting with various groups such as Corporate organizations, religious leaders, youths/physically challenged, market men and women, Non-Governmental Organizations and the political leaders, disclosed his greater plans to revive the tourism potentials of Badagry, saying the long term plan includes the establishment of University of Hospitality.
He also seized the occasion to intimate on his future plans for the State, revealing that his administration was working round the clock to build the economy of the State beyond the dependence on oil, adding, “The future of Lagos is about tourism and services.”
Ambode added that aside the N500million disability fund aimed at advancing the cause of persons living with disabilities, his administration would decentralize the Lagos State Office of Disability (LASODA) and absolve 200 physically challenged persons to manage their affairs in all the Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas (LCDA) in the State.
He also said the State Government would also perfect plans to bring about seamless waste collection in the State, and ensure clean environment.
“I implore you to take ownership of all government properties located in your area because they are our common wealth. Remember to pay your taxes as and when due in order to enjoy more dividends of democracy.
“On our part, we will continue to ensure judicious utilization of the resources of the state by executing projects that will outlive us and affirm our position as a Centre of Excellence,” Ambode said.

Ibime:
I meant such players are £10m players that every squad needs, not £40m!!!

Okay

Ibime:
Every squad needs a player like Joao Mario. A hardworker capable of playing almost every position on the pitch, yet very understated.

Rumour surfaced today that Chelsea tabled a bid of €40m for him.

Dream2:
No sir,all those news are rumours.

Okay

Dream2:
LOL@ORI MI OOO,you welcome sir and goodmorning.

Smile
Top of the morning, I guess you enjoy your night?
Is your timetable out

ibroh22:

Mention don't my brother, it is well.

lordfalcao:
Nawa oo, I wan hear wetin the man fit Yan.

Not only you my brother. I don't know they have to deprive the fans of such opportunity when both Manchester teams didn't.

Chelsea website reported we should wait for updates from the training at Cobham today.

jubrealguy:
Weird state, must it b always extreme.......Morning

Today is Antonio Conte's firat day at work and there is no official unveiling amd special press conference.

jubrealguy:

jocelyncherish:
@Op,i doubt if u even know the meaning of Investigative journalism,and if u do i wonder why u didn't give a brief definition.Atleast for d sake of your readers,because am sure sm don't even know wat you're trying to say+wat you're saying has notin do with investigative journalism,otherwise known as yellow journalism.So wen next you're writing,try to know aliitle about wat your subject matter right b4 posting anything.

You're very wrong, perhaps you haven't read through the comments. Do so and stop flying into conclusion.

Nairalanders need no definition because they're super intelligent, I don't know about you. Do you need the definition

ibroh22:
thanks,,I will inform the person,,but wat am confused about now is dat,,I think the remobilization is for those that ave registered during the batch A registration and for whatever reason didn't make it to the camp,,,but this person am talking about didn't register before atall,,can dey still go for the remobilization

The same thing applies to the two scenario.

She can't see her name on NYSC portal when registration begins, so she should just do the needful.

Dream2:
Good afternoon GLanders,,, Please
does part time student need to do
jamb regularization before registering
for NYSC? cc yorme coyy titanium38
sheboss chumaster dream2 other
GLanders that can put me through
Treat as urgent,,,the person was
mobilized for batch A'16,,,but didn't
register then,,I don't want to go into
details of the story,,now the person
needs the exclusion certificate and
needs to register for NYSC,,can she do
the remobilization currently going on?
pls answer the two questions




Cc: Amodu


Ibroh22

I am not sure of the first question but I think yes, they do.

The second one is also a yes and she needs to be fast about the processing so as to avoid a story that touch. NYSC might decide to bring out the awaited timetable tomorrow and skip a lot of processes and steps which will subject schools to their heels.

Dream2:
I have corrected your mistake sir,i have being following your post on NL sir,never seen someone so humble as you sir,will like to meet you one day,learn from you both westernly and quranic wise.

ORI MI OOO

You've successfully kobalise me. Master ko Allah The Uncreated Creator is our Master. To HIM alone belong such title.

I am indeed humbled beyond words for the eulogy and holding me in such high esteem. We're all learners and we'll continue to learn, including my humble self. May Almighty Allah makes our meeting an easy one.

Dream2:
Probably they haven't check their mention,try to modify your post and include Amodu and LogoDWhiz,probably they might have a solution.

My boss, any problem Your boy is at your service.

How can a CF worth more millions than his career goals


Don't tell me he his better than Solanke abeg
We are going to start benching our Super potentials for other clubs average potentials


Icardi,Lacazette,Alcacer,Dybala,Gabriel Jesus and co are way way way way better


Kante you no buy......Nainggolan you can't capture....... Koulibaly na long story.....Bonucci na distant dream

A Public school Class 'board' is way more reliable than Chelsea's

We have like 600 Morata in Agbowo alone

Everton is about to hijack Koulibaly's deal

ilenaira:
OP, investigative journalism is long dead in Nigeria. Brown-envelope journalism and yeye blogging has taken its place and a big part of the blame lies on the consumers of the trash being churned out.


By the way, if you're going yo change 'existing' to 'exist', you must chand 'do' to 'does' too.

"Yeye blogging", I laff.

Thanks for the grammar clarification

xtophy:
I don't know y investigative journalists die at the peak of their career. ppl like gbenga adeboye, mayowa orisatola, akolawole olawuyi died wen we needed dem most... it make me to fear investigative journalism. only God knows where ologun dudu is....

Gbenga Adeboye!

You make me remember a man of different characters.

banmee:
Lol. Investigative journalism. Two words that are as alien to Nigerians as electricity. Investigative journalism is not possible in a corrupt country.

Smile

But it is one of the tools needed to eradicate corruption, 'the pen is mightier than the sword' so they says.

kentosman:
Bros,
abeg change the existing in your title to exist. As per topic, e don tey wey that one die. Majority write just to chop. Country baaad you know?

Unable to modify it since it has been moved to front page. It is now in mods hands.

jubrealguy:

jubrealguy:

cc:
lalasticlala

It just struck me and I begin to wonder, do investigative journalism still in existence in Nigeria?

Something like exhuming the bad condition the Lebanese, Arabs and co who owns big factories in Nigeria expose Nigerians to, rots in the society, individuals with ill-acquired wealth, etcetera.

After long soliloquizing, I concluded there is none, all we have are cheap and pocket oriented journalists.

Apologies though to all amaible journalists.

Abbeyunique2:
Settling down took longer than expected ni Jare. How are you doing Baba Kano and missoyin

Toor, I understand.

Hope you have finally settled down?

We're doing good.

BlizzydoDo:
