The entire SAC and SEC of Nigeria Labour Congress Oyo State Council, had expressed their heartfelt condolences to his Excellency Engr Oluseyi Makinde on the sudden death of his brother, Engr Sunday Makinde, Bada Olubadan of Ibadan.

We are deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Engr Sunday Makinde, who is also the Bada Olubadan of Ibadanland and Head of Aigbofa Family of Oja’ba, Ibadan. Our heart goes out to his Excellency Engr Oluseyi Makinde and his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

We wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to Your Excellency Engr Oluseyi Makinde, the government and people of Oyo State during this difficult time.

May the family and loved ones of the deceased find comfort and solace in the knowledge that their loss is shared by all.

With love, condolences, and deepest sympathy from Oyo State Council of NLC.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Oyo State Council is celebrating Governor Seyi Makinde's 57th birthday in a big way. Comrade Kayode Martins, Chairman of NLC in Oyo State, expressed warm congratulations to the governor, praising his dedication to improving the lives of workers in the state.

The NLC acknowledged Governor Makinde's significant contributions to the state, particularly in 2024, and expressed gratitude for his commitment to workforce welfare. They also wished him a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2025.

Governor Makinde's administration has implemented various initiatives to support workers and residents in Oyo State. For instance, his SAfER package aims to cushion the effects of fuel subsidy removal and includes measures such as increased buses for civil servants, health insurance for vulnerable persons, and support for small businesses .

The NLC's praise for Governor Makinde's leadership and commitment to workers' welfare is a testament to his administration's positive impact on Oyo State.

The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, says the Organised Labour rejected a proposal by President Bola Tinubu to pay ₦250,000 minimum wage and increase petrol prices.

“Accepting ₦70,000 was the best way to save Nigerians from further hardship,” Ajaero said on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Thursday shortly after Labour met with the President in Abuja.

At last week’s meeting, the President brought a proposal that ‘I will give you guys ₦250,000’ if you allow me to equally increase the pump price of petroleum products’ and we said, ‘No, we need to go and consult’.

“Today, we went there to tell him, ‘No’. The labour movement can make sacrifices without allowing Nigerians to suffer further on the increase in the pump price of petroleum products.”

The pump price of petrol jumped from ₦184 in May 2023 when Tinubu declared that “subsidy is gone” to about ₦700 at the moment, depending on the part of the country, reports Channels TV.

Ajaero also said the Organised Labour agreed to ₦70,000 as the new minimum wage for Nigerian workers because the wage reviews in the country will no longer be every five years but once in three years.

President Tinubu is expected to send an executive bill to the National Assembly on the agreed rate for onward legislation.

Fraternal greetings to all Workers and Pensioners from the State Leadership of NLC & TUC in Oyo State and to inform you all to kindly disregard any ill prepared and epileptic write up or information not emanating and signed by us.
This is the usual practice and antics of these faceless distractors who are enemies of Workers and Pensioners in the State.
The power of Solidarity and our Unity of purpose shall make us Victorious.
We are 100% committed to this Struggle.

Thanks

Comrade Kayode Martins
NLC Chairperson

TUC Chairman

Civil servants in Oyo State have been directed to converge at the entrance of the main gate leading to office of the state governor on Monday by 7:30 am in order to have him address them face to face on their long time demands.

The directive was given by the chairman of the state chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Kayode Martins after addressing workers on issues bordering on their salaries and others on Thursday at the NLC office, Ibadan.

According to him, the directive became imperative owing to the situation of things on their demand from the state government over some time.

It will be recalled that the union last week Thursday gave the state government ultimatum till last Monday to attend to their demand, hence, they cannot guarantee the industrial harmony in the state.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday July 27, 2023, at the NLC headquarters, Ibadan, Comrade Martins said they are not relenting on their oars at ensuring that the state government yield and attend to all their demands.

“We have written so many letters to the state government without any response, we don’t actually know what is going on. Just last week Thursday, we gave the government an ultimatum to address our demands till last Monday, yet nothing happened. So, we have resolved again to go in our numbers to converge at the main gate of the governor’s office so that he can come out to address us.

Comrade Martins said they are demanding state government to release the outstanding salary deductions and other entitlements of workers in the state from January 2023 till date, adding that they can no longer bear the pain.

According to him, the union is also admonished the state government to roll out parliative measures in good time to cushion the effects of subsidy removal as being done in other states, saying the cost of living has gone up and has really made life difficult for the entire masses.

He said they have series of demands most especially on issues pertaining to welfare of workers and the entire masses in the state.”We are demanding the state government to release the outstanding salary deductions of workers and other entitlements from January till date to enable them cope with the present economic situation.

“We still have some of our salaries being witheld from January till date, which is staff deductions. Secondly, we demand that government should release outstanding leave bonuses and letters promotion of workers over the years. Take for instance, since his pronouncement in 2021 on the issue, no worker has received any letter.

“So, we are asking and demanding that year 2022 and 2023 promotion be addressed with immediate effect. We are asking that the government should commence the payment for gratuities to retirees, because things have changed economically.

“We are asking the state government to respond to the deductions in workers salaries, outstanding promotions, since 2021, we are yet to receive any letter. The issue of gratuities and pension areas has to be reviewed. Pension was last reviewed in 2007 and we are still on the old salary despite the high rate of inflation and the harsh economy.

Comrade Martins said it is high time governor Seyi Makinde address them (Civil servants) on the situation of things on their demands, adding that they have long pacified the people.

We want the governor to talk to us one on one on Monday in order to know the situation of things. We have written series of letters without achieving any progress, so. this time we want to have one on one talk with him. In the last four years, no meeting has come between us and the governor.

The NLC chairman said the outcome of Monday’s gathering will determine their next line of action.

ZIKORAMAMACHI:
I want to attend. Who will sponsor me

please what is the cost of registration? thank you

BIBLE'S OPINION ABOUT ELECTION

Exodus 18:21 (NIV VERSION)
But select capable men from all the people--men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain--and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.

From the above bible verse, it is clear that we shall select from many to govern over :

-Thousands - Presidency
-Hundreds - Governorship
-Fifties - National Assembly
-Tens - State Assembly.

While we choose, let's consider these three things as prescribed by the bible:

-Men who fear God
-Trustworthy men
- Men who hate dishonest gain (bribe).

I pray that as we choose our leaders in this Election, God will open our eyes to see the best for this country.

Miyetti Allah has said that the ban on open grazing by the Governors of Southern Nigeria will remain ineffective until an alternative to grazing is provided for the herders.
South East Chairman of Miyetti-Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, Gidado Siddiki, said this in response to the call by former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, on all the states Houses of Assembly in South East Nigeria to enact anti-grazing law in their respective states.
Gidado Siddiki mentioned that they were not opposed to ban on open grazing but that the public hearing on constitution review should grant all parties the right to make submissions for a law against open grazing.
“We were not given the chance to go for the Constitution review public hearing, we went there but nobody gave us an audience to talk. We did not submit a petition,” he said.

Sirjamo:
In Kaduna civil service, one office, two cars, ten drivers. Most of the workers are useless, they will sit under mango tree gossiping from 9am to 4pm every working day.


The Governor should not bow to the pressure by NLC to re instate useless workers, but, he should pay them their severance package.



El Rufai should also sack all of his useless political appointees if he wants the labour to reason with him. You cannot tell the workers to make sacrifices while you maintain your own hundreds of government appointees without portfolio.



I AM DONE TALKING

From your submission, its obvious that u don't understand what organization restructuring is all about. If 2 cars is been driven by 10 drivers, whose fault. Does that nean kaduna govt doesn't have agencies where these drivers will be much needed. And if perhaps they employed too much drivers, restructure them by training them on another profession and deploy them to where they will be needed more.
I work in a media organization, i ve seen a couple of times when drivers, carpenters is been trained and converted to cameramen because they needed more camera handlers than drivers.

Ray Reddington @_Larenzo who graduated with third class from OAU discovers he’s a genius while studying in Canada

A Nigerian man has revealed that he never knew about his ingenuity till he went to further his education in Canada.

According to the Twitter user identified as @_Larenzo, he graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) with a third class degree, but when he started studying in Canada, his lecturers were impressed with his problem-solving skills.

He later discovered after taking an IQ test, that he was a genius whose intelligence was greatly underrated owing to Nigeria’s falling standard of education.

According to @_Larenzo, he topped his class upon graduation from the university in Canada.

See his tweet

In OAU I graduated with a 3rd class, In Canada my lecturers urged me to take an IQ test after they saw my methods in solving shit.

Turns out I'm a genius. By my test results I'm smarter that 99% of the world and yes I topped my class.

Your reply shows your level of reasoning.....

I will try to make my story short.

On july 23rd, i was trying to recharge my prepaid meter via quickteller and to every time i tried, i was having ERROR, so i kept trying till i was successful at the fifth time. Meanwhile i didn't get alert for my transaction till after some time.
Shortly after five minutes i received alert of #3100 for four consecutive times for the transaction error, totaled 12400.
I called FCMB for like 3times but wasn't picked after spending nothing less than 20minutes on each call and its was not toll free. Eventually it was picked and they promised to investigate. Two days, #3100 was reversed out of #12400.
Up till date, nothing has been done to the remaining 9300 and they kept wasting my call cards for calling customer care.
Pls i need the appropriate Authority to report this financial institution for this act.
Attached are the quickteller receipts and call for tonight without been resolved as well.
