[quote author=ndu_chucks](1)Governor Bode George (2)Senator Bode George (3)Rep Bode George take your pick, he is now free to contest elections in Lagos State.

He can always pull an Atiku by joining the Labor party and running for the Governor of Lagos, so that they can Pull an Obi/Anambra techinique on APC. He'll be rewarded, upon his return to PDP after the elections, with an Ambasadorial job. [/quote]ds lagos we dy so , bode george shd forget anything elective post, he can only get his appoint frm from FG. IF bode george shd contest 4 any position in Lagos i am 100% sure d loose will start from his pooling booth

pro01: At least we had proof that the disgraced Justhief Salami, former President of the Appeal Court, was influenced by Tinubu to facilitate favourable rulings for ACN in Osun and Ekiti (thanks to MTN call logs).

guy 4get call log, if truly d call log exist PDP would have use it to overturn d rulling since 2010. Or do u think PDP does not want to return to power ? D Last time i check d Juge dy call Tinubu man is no more d head of appeal court and if pdp blve dy have good case dy can use d stup.id MTN call log to over turn d judgement in dr favour.

sCun: Why can't Saharareporters ever give us balanced news and let us make conclusions ourselves?

y do u have to wait 4 saharareporters ? U can balance d news by google search it up. A lot of Nigeria newspapers are online

ogologodimkpa: Premium Times & Punch are fighting for the same course

They are both anti-GEJ and are known as APC propaganda machines.

They should both keep quiet and concentrate on their publication of falsehood?

can u tell me ur source dat indicate premium times and punch are APC propangada and dy are anti-GEJ? If u cant dn u too are playing falsehood

Sodiq33: Seems PUNCH failed to understand that not giving attribution to a report is against the ethics of journalism...@punch,STATE YOUR SOURCE...

giving attribute is only ethics of journalism ONLY if u copy from another site or the source want u to do so by mentioning his/her name. D punch have dr own specific reason 4 not naming d source, d source dat reveal d news to Punch may even be part of GEJ inner crew or OBJ inner crew and d person want to be an anonymous. If any1 is truly interested in d source then shd walk up to punch, premium times or if possible d main writers of such news.

DonColz1: That an online news medium publishes a document first does not by any means suggest that it is the only medium (print or online) with the information at the point in time.

Goddex: The battle has just begun. Owelle Judas Okorocha, APGA is waiting for you lol.

nPDP reps and Senators are wise enough by delaying announcing their own defection because of the constitutional provision against such. Let Nigerians see how the Supreme court that ruled in Omehia vs Ameachi's case will now reverse itself to rule otherwise.

guy do u remember Ikedi ohakim, theodore orji, isa yaguda, obanikoro etc i blve u understand what i mean. The case of omehia and amechi is a case of name of substitution during primary election not about defection

wesley80: Have you been to Warri? Do you think an international airport is the most pressing need in the city? If its not then how is this a welcome development?

i have never been to Warri before but since the govt failed to do the "pressing need" and they consider airport as needs , then lets welcome it with open hands, and morever ds airport will bring about some of ds infrastural dev to d community

Ta ni ana , ta ni ara nta

taharqa: Misplaced priority FOR NOW oo.... Smone shld hit d bell on d head of d Delta State Government, fast

how is it misplaced priority ? It is a welcome development as far as if the government is ready to spend judiciously. Moreover this will create both direct and indirect jobs to people of Delta State and Nigerians at large but my challenges with all this project is how soon will the project be completed ?

Its like we are in festive period of strike

Nurses in the Federal Capital Territory on
Wednesday in Abuja commenced a three-day
warning strike over alleged draconian policies by
the FCT Administration by withdrawing their
services in all government hospitals.
The Nurses under the aegis of National Association
of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (FCT Council) in
the strike notice which was earlier sent to the
Minister of FCT, Senator Bala Mohammed and
signed by its chairman, Mr. Mohammed Bida and
Secretary, Mrs. Christiana Kagah said the decision
was sequel to the review of the 21-days ultimatum
it had given to the administration which elapsed on
November 28.
The association said, "After exhaustive
deliberations, the house resolved as follows: That
since the extension of the 21-days ultimatum
elapsed on November 28 2013, and issues raised
have not been met, notice of three days warning
strike is hereby given which shall commence by
12:00 midnight of Tuesday (yesterday) December
10 2013.
"That if nothing is done on the issues raised, after
the warning strike, the members will commence an
definite strike as from Monday December 16 2013
without further notice, until our demands are fully
met."
Among the grievances of NANNM in the FCT include
stoppage of October salaries of some Nurses who
were not captured during the biometric data
verification in FCTA Hospitals, without official
notice; inadequacy of Nurses/Midwives; non-
release of 2012 promotion list; lack of training and
retraining of Nurses and opening of new units in
FCTA Hospitals without corresponding staff.
Bida said that, "At present, we have less than 1,000
Nurses manning 11 Hospitals in the FCT; there are
844 beds with a monthly patients admission of
15,000 daily, excluding outpatients. Our people are
dying daily because they are being overworked. We
are not demanding for salary increment this time,
but staff recruitment.
"In. view of the above, there is urgent need for the
state of emergency declared in September 2013 in
the Primary Healthcare services to be extended to
the secondary healthcare services in terms of
recruitment of Nurses/Midwives. This will go a long
way to save our members from frequent and daily
breaking down and to cope with teeming population
of patients into into our healthcare facilities."

Nigerian doctors say they would embark on a
nationwide strike from December 14, the end of an
ultimatum issued the government, following the
federal government’s failure to comply with an
agreement reached with their union, the Nigerian
Medical Association.
The doctors also said the Minister of Health,
Onyebuchi Chukwu, should be held responsible for
any crisis that erupts from the health sector from
December 14.
The doctors stated their position in a notice titled
“Countdown to the December 14th deadline,” and
made available to PREMIUM TIMES by the President
of the NMA, Osahon Enabulele. The doctors said
only the re-constitution and inauguration of the
Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, MDCN, has
been achieved for the over five months that the
NMA has been engaging the federal government in
talks. They said the government ignored other parts
of the agreements reached earlier in the year. The
agreements ignored, according to Mr. Enabulele,
are: issues bordering on workplace conditions and
injustice meted out to doctors in their conditions of
service, as well as funding/infrastructural and
equipment upgrade of the health sector.
This is not the first time the Nigerian government
would be going back on agreements reached with
workers unions. Since July this year, all
government owned universities have been under
lock as a result of the federal government not
complying with agreements reached in 2009 with
the lecturers’ union, ASUU, on issues such as
university funding and staff welfare.
The doctors, like the lecturers, have held series of
meetings with government officials including those
of the Federal Ministry of Health, Head of the Civil
Service of the Federation, and the Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, on issues bordering
on some health sector challenges, workplace
conditions, and the conditions of service of doctors.
On September 2, 2013, the association issued a 21-
day ultimatum to the FG to address the issues
tabled by NMA. However, based on the
understanding reached following the intervention of
the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Emeka
Wogu, the NMA extended her ultimatum by four
weeks at her emergency National Executive Council
(NEC) meeting held in Abuja on September 22, 2013.
Following the expiration of the additional four weeks
ultimatum, the NMA again extended twice the
ultimatum on account of the government’s
constitution of a Presidential Committee and
promise to speedily resolve the issues contained in
the requests of the NMA.
Unfortunately, since the report of the Presidential
Committee was submitted to the Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, only the re-
constitution and inauguration of the Medical and
Dental Council of Nigeria has been achieved while
other parts of the agreement were ignored.
The doctors, through their president, have now said
it would be difficult to guarantee further extension of
the grace period and industrial harmony in the
health sector.
“Efforts by the NMA to engage the leadership of the
Federal Ministry of Health even at this eleventh hour
collapsed following the unserious approach and
attitude of the leadership of the Federal Ministry of
Health who seem to be less bordered about the
potential crisis which may erupt in Nigeria’s health
sector from Saturday, December 14, 2013.
“Therefore the Nigerian Medical Association most
distressingly alerts the entire nation about the
imminent collapse of health services across the
entire country given the apparent levity and lack of
concrete commitment so far exhibited by the
Government through the Federal Ministry of Health,”
Mr. Enabulele stated.
Read the content of Mr. Onabulele’s statement
below.
AS COUNTDOWN TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE NMA
ULTIMATUM DRAWS NEAR, THE ASSOCIATION
SAYS THAT THE MINISTER OF HEALTH SHOULD BE
HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CRISIS THAT
ERUPTS IN THE HEALTH SECTOR
For over five months now, the Nigerian Medical
Association (NMA), the umbrella body for all medical
and dental practitioners in Nigeria, has recurrently
engaged the Federal Government through the
Federal Ministry of Health, Head of the Civil Service
of the Federation and the Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, on issues bordering
on some health sector challenges, workplace
conditions and the conditions of service of doctors.
On the 2nd September, 2013 the Nigerian Medical
Association issued a 21day ultimatum to the Federal
Government of Nigeria to address the issues tabled
by NMA. However, based on the understanding
reached following the intervention of the Honourable
Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka
Wogu CON, the NMA decided to extend her
ultimatum by four weeks at her emergency National
Executive Council (NEC) meeting held in Abuja on
September 22, 2013.
Following the expiration of the additional four (4)
weeks grace granted to the Federal Government,
the NMA again magnanimously extended twice the
ultimatum on account of the Government’s
constitution of a Presidential Committee and
promise to speedily resolve the issues contained in
the requests of the NMA. Sadly, since the report of
the Presidential Committee was submitted to the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, only
the re-constitution and inauguration of the Medical
and Dental Council of Nigeria has been achieved.
The attention of the government to other issues
bordering on workplace conditions and injustice
meted out to doctors in their conditions of service
and funding/ infrastructural and equipment upgrade
of the health sector have not received any
significant attention.
On account of the foregoing, it may be difficult to
guarantee further extension of the grace period and
consequently, industrial harmony in the health
sector, especially as the December 14, 2013
deadline issued to the Federal Government to
concretely resolve the demands of the NMA draws
closer.
Efforts by the NMA to engage the leadership of the
Federal Ministry of Health even at this eleventh hour
collapsed following the unserious approach and
attitude of the leadership of the Federal Ministry of
Health who seem to be less bordered about the
potential crisis which may erupt in Nigeria’s health
sector from Saturday, December 14, 2013.
Therefore the Nigerian Medical Association most
distressingly alerts the entire nation about the
imminent collapse of health services across the
entire country given the apparent levity and lack of
concrete commitment so far exhibited by the
Government through the Federal Ministry of Health.

Am recommending ds two again 4 FP https://www.nairaland.com/1552382/zamfara-government-sacks-400-nurses

The Zamfara State Government has announced the
sack of over 400 nurses and midwives, who went
on strike over pay, accusing them of leaving their
duty posts without permission,
The Commissioner for Information, Ibrahim Birnin
Magaji, announced the decision in a statement on
Wednesday in Gusau.
The health workers had been on an indefinite strike
since last Wednesday, over non-implementation of
CONHESS by the state government.
Mr. Birnin Magaji dismissed the claim by the health
workers, saying that the government had approved
the implementation of the new salary effective from
December1.
According to him, the decision to terminate the
appointments is in line with Civil Service Rules.
“We therefore stand by it. As representatives of the
people, we cannot fold our hands to allow such
actions to continue; leaving our hospitals empty
without workers.”
The commissioner explained that the termination
order did not affect those who were on leave.
Reacting to the development, the state Chairman of
Association of Nurses and Midwives, Bashir Mafara,
described the state government’s pronouncement
as “an empty threat”.
He said the workers would continue with the strike
and take measures to protect their rights.
The state Civil Service Commission had a week ago
commenced the recruitment of new nurses and
midwives into the state service.
Government’s decision on the workers would affect
health care services in the state which recently
recorded 47 deaths from cholera outbreak.
Zamfara is one of the states led by the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Nigeria’s largest
opposition party.
Another APC state, Lagos, had also sacked striking
health workers including doctors, but reversed its
decision due to public pressure and condemnation.
The APC had condemned the federal government’s
threat to sack university lecturers who failed to
resume duties by December 9.

The National Assembly will be holding plenary in
committee rooms for 12 months while the
chambers is closed due to renovations for the
period in view.
This was made known to journalists by the Minister
of FCT, Senator Bala Mohammed, who was giving a
brief after the Federal Executive Council (FEC)
meeting.
HE revealed that the FEC has approved the sum of
N40.2 billion for the third phase of the National
Assembly complex renovation, to create a more
comfortable environment for the law makers.
Senator Mohammed, who said that the contract is in
the plan of the FCT, added that it will contain a
library, budget office, banquet hall and radio
facilities.
He said there will also be “a complete rehabilitation
of the council chambers which will lead to the
closing of the National Assembly chambers for 12
months”.
“During the period, committee rooms will be used
for law making” he said.
Also approved is a proposal by the Minister of
Petroleum Resources, Dieziani Allison-Madueke, for
the establishment of a national laboratory for the
testing of petroleum products.
Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, who briefed
state house correspondents, said the test centre, to
be located in Owerri, the Imo state capital, is to
ensure that products imported in the country meet
the best standards.
Maku noted that the federal government rejects a
situation where huge sums of money is spent
abroad to carry out tests on petroleum products.
