BewareOf419:
An Islamic group in Lagos has accused the Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of avoiding Muslims in appointments.

 
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) says many qualified Muslim teachers on grade level 17 are still marking time when they should have been appointed principals.

 
It appealed to the Lagos State government (LASG) to revisit the education sector, with a view to correcting the glaring lop-sidedness in the appointment of tutor-generals and school principals.


The Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, made the appeal in a statement on Tuesday.

 Akintola says: “Lagos State has been divided into six education districts since the days of Chief Bola Tinubu. Each education district has a tutor general/permanent secretary saddled with the responsibility of overseeing the activities of the schools and their personnel. Tinubu, a Muslim, ensured fairness by sharing the six posts 50:50 between Muslims and Christians.

Akinwunmi Ambode made it 4:2 in favour of Christians. The tricky game employed was to appoint some Muslims who have long converted to Christianity but who retained their Muslim names. It would then appear as if Muslims were appointed yet they were cleverly shortchanged.

Under Governor Babajide Sanwoolu today there is no single Muslim tutor-general. There is also an uneven distribution of heads of department in the six districts. There are five departments in each district with a head of department (HOD) directing its affairs. So there are thirty (30) HODs in all. These HODs are part of the management team. Unfortunately there are only five (5) Muslim HODs out of the thirty (30).

There are six hundred and sixty eight (668) principals in Lagos State public schools. Of this number, five hundred and sixty-five (565) are Christians while only one hundred and three (103) are Muslims.

This implies that Christian principals are 84.6% while Muslim principals are 15. 4%. Like in the case of tutor-generals, some principals who have long converted to Christianity but who retained their Muslim names were made principals while the real Muslims are left to rot in the system.

What is the implication of this imbalance? Firstly, tutor-generals influence the appointment of school principals but anybody can guess what will happen in a situation where all the tutor-generals are Christians.

Again, the use of hijab in public schools is largely determined by the disposition of school principals. Since the ratio is 84:15, it becomes clear why the majority of the school principals disallow the use of hijab in their schools despite a subsisting court judgement in favour of its use.

MURIC calls for the appointment of more Muslims as school principals. We lay emphasis on the appointment of real Muslims and not Muslims who have converted but retained their Muslim names.
 
This should not be difficult if the authorities consult leaders of the Muslim Teachers Association (MUTAN). We believe that our call is timely and it is more so particularly when the state government has recently invited applications into the position of TG/PS and it is poised to recruit more teachers.

The question of non-avalability of qualified Muslims does not arise because Lagos is replete with hundreds of well qualified and competent Muslims who are yearning for the opportunity to exhibit their potentials. In addition, many Muslim teachers who are on grade level 17 appear to have been placed on redundancy as they are not appointed as principals or vice principals. Their list can easily be obtained from the leadership of MUTAN or that of the Lagos State Muslim Community.

There is also lop-sidedness in favour of Christians in the manner school assemblies are conducted. Most schools give Christians four days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) while Muslims have Friday alone. Some allow Muslims to use Thursday and Friday. For fairness, we suggest that Christians should be given two days (Monday and Tuesday), Muslims should also have two days (Thursday and Friday) while Wednesday should be left for Yoruba assembly.

Our appeal to the Lagos State government is to make the education sector a model of excellence in keeping with the status of Lagos as the centre of excellence. Lagos has always been in the forefront of liberal policies, improved workers’ welfare, modernisation and other forms of human progress.

This is not praise-singing. The records are there for all to applaud Lagos. Apart from Enugu in 1980, Lagos was one of the first states to establish a state university (1984), the first to increase maternity leave to six months, the first to build an atlantic city (Eko Atlantic), the first to introduce local council development areas (LCDA) and many more pacesetting initiatives. Lagos leads, others follow.

....you know what? I swear I dont care about Tinubu nor like him that much but it's Igbo's that make me support and defend him anywhere he is being abused by them. We all know Tinubu cant be president and I dont think he has an agenda to be president but Igbo's has no mouths to abuse him or saying any fouls at him because he owes them nothing likewise Yoruba's. We owe them nothing for they do call us "betrayal". They cant expect us to go the same ways they go and everyone should respect each others ideas.

Define your "we" pls... If he becomes the president vex and hit your head on the rock

That basketmouth professor will soon react.

He has reacted already

On Sunday's Politics, while they compare the APC and PDP political rallies. I covered my face and was sorry for Obaseki. This one has slipped off his hand already, the reason he wanted violence for the election to be cancelled

The husband of ipobs

Tinubu is a great leader... Kashamu was indeed generous. Lot and lots of people benefited from him

SmartProf:
Can u now see how compromised the police has become? Very partisan. I'm sure they visited him to lament to him that his men couldn't bundle them into the assembly for their well planned out inauguration & impeachment plans.

Regular song.... You would have enough time to sing. You just started. Ekun egbeere

Breaking News!! Members of the Edo Assembly, led by newly-elected Speaker, Rt. Hon. Victor Edoror, paid a courtesy visit to Edo State Commissioner of Police, Johnson Kokumo who has assured them of support for the success of the new house leadership https:///hLTJqBX0jc

Breaking News!! After the Impeachment of the Edo speaker and election of Hon Edoror, the lawmakers have issued a notice to the IG of police and the Commissioner of Police in Edo that they would be taking over the Assembly on Friday having taken over its leadership.

12 elected members of the Edo State House of Assembly took their oath of office and have been sworn into the House of Assembly one year and two months after Obaseki refused to swear them in. https:///RIhdUlZFyX

17 @OfficialAPCNg members of the Edo state House of Assembly currently holding a parallel session at an undisclosed location. Honourable Agbaje Imam from Akoko Edo nominated Speaker extempore #EdoDecides2020 https:///UBQV7lMqJz

He Constituted 11 but 7 out of the eleven left him for APC and officially/legally inaugurated the 14 remaining member-elect. Making 21 APC members against 4 PDP members. Anything he does with these 4 is illegality and it would be a strong ground for impeachment.

Aladdin1:
I know what am talking about.Obaseki has removed the Roof of Anthony Enahoro complex and blocked the entrance with sand and Hes gone ahead to remove the official Mace.Obaseki has been aware of plans to impeach him since his fight with Oshiomhole began and I dont think He would fold his Hands and watch the APC Lawmakers have their way.If you saw what Obaseki did today you would know Hes ready to checkmate the antics of Oshiomhole and APC.And more also He has said that if APC want violence and lawlessness. Hes ready to give it to them to the fullest.what am saying is that it wont be easy to impeach Obaseki constitutional for now.But they may be able to impeach the speaker and make one of them the new speaker.And even at that Obaseki would choose not to work with or recognise the APC Speaker.If you live in Edo state you would understand.

How will he work with 4 minority sir?

Aladdin1:
If even its true.obaseki would not work with them.he would only choose to work with his 5 loyal members.thank God the election is at hand to settle these political fillaga,filla bench.As ighodomigodo would say.

They are 4 now sir

Obaseki said he declared 14 seats vacant. INEC never conducted bye elections for those seats because a governor cannot declare an elected member's seat vacant lmao. Does this guy think at all?

Na to impeach that Obadrown remain.
Lesson don't get too big for your shoes.

The attempt to foil the coup failed already, better luck next time.

He can be smarter but the Edo people, especially the youths need to rally round the better of the two candidates to avoid their state being held hostage by another green eyed greedy godfather, such as they have in Lagos, despite the shakara smartness of Lagosians.
