Osun announces total lockdown of State as Oyetola discloses second confirmed COVID-19 case

The Osun State Government has announced the total lockdown of the State on Tuesday following the confirmation of the second case of the deadly Coronavirus.

The Government reaffirmed the commitment to shut down all the land boundaries effective from midnight, Sunday, March 29, 2020.

The Governor of the State, Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola, made the disclosure during a statewide broadcast on Sunday morning.

Oyetola maintained that there would be no movement within the State during the shutdown while those on essential duties such as health personnel, fire service, environmental officials, security personnel, power and water supply agencies, media and telecommunication officers will be on duty.

He described the decision as imperative in view of the devastating nature of the pandemic, adding that the first priority of any responsive and responsible government is to respond effectively to protect its citizens when an emergency occurs.

Oyetola who expressed sadness over the latest incident, reiterated that the decision remained the only way to go if the State was to contain the spread of the disease.

"Following a review of our current situation, we have in addition to the subsisting measures taken in the past one week, decided to shut down all our boundaries, effective from midnight Sunday, March 29, 2020. In addition, a complete lockdown of the State will come into effect from midnight, Tuesday, March 31, 2020

"We believe this is the way to go, if we must contain the spread of this virus. To this end, we urge citizens and residents to take advantage of the hours between now and Tuesday to stock up provisions that will last them two weeks in the first instance.

"During the lockdown, there will be no movement within the state. The closed boundaries also means there will be no inter-state movements. However, those on essential duties such as health personnel, fire service, environmental officials, security personnel, power and water supply agencies, media and telecommunication officers will be on duty. Also, pharmaceutical and medical outfits will be allowed to open.

"We have mandated and mobilised the State’s taskforce and security operatives to enforce measures to the letter. We, therefore, strongly advise our people to remain in their homes during the period of the lockdown.

"When an emergency occurs, such as the one at hand, the first priority of any responsive and responsible government is to respond effectively to protect its citizens. This is what we will continue to do", Oyetola added.

The governor urged the residents not to panic by the new measures but continue to adhere to government's instructions and directives on the need for them to continue to observe necessary precautionary measures, including regular washing of hands with water and soap and also maintain the prescribed social distancing.

He lauded the critical stakeholders led by the former Health Minister, Prof. Isaac Adewole; taskforce and health officers for their selfless service to humanity.

Okay. Lock everywhere down.

There will be light at the end of the tunnel.

But the situation on ground shouldn't stop them from completing what they have started. Let them complete the recruitment process as soon as possible and get in touch with the successful candidates, even if they (the successful ones) are not resuming yet.

5. Restrict New Employment: the government will continue its push to refresh and revitalise public service ranks by injecting new blood. While it will conclude its ongoing recruitment process, resumption of new recruits will be put on hold until the fiscal situation is clearer;

This is bad!

I thought somebody was saying the results of the interview would be out by 1st or 2nd week of March. Pls, what's happening?

Henry692:

Gentle05:

Gentle05:

You post this info on the Teachers' thread yesterday, perhaps you know one or two things about this particular one. Let us know if you have heard anything concerning this one also.
Probably, KDSG wants to release the final list together (Teachers and Civil Servants).

smartzee01:
The information I received today from a friend whose father happens to be a director and a member of the interview panel is contrary to the governor's information. He told me that a little above 1000 persons were called for the interview and the exact number to be taken is 420 candidates. He also said interview will be in three sections each covering 30 candidates that is 90 candidates per day. Anyone with good source should help us confirm. Though my friend seems to be sure of the information. Goodluck!

This post is somewhat getting real to me afterall.

Uspic:
Is the governor not a man? Do you believe everything a man says?

He is the number one citizen of the state, he should be able to keep his words - my opinion.

But the governor made us understand in his last media chat that the process will be completed by the end of the first quarter of the year, which is this month already.

imamabi:
Heard the APL will rolling in by next week. Please, is it true?

I pray it is true, even before then. I want it this week.

Good evening everyone.
I learnt today is the last day for the CSC interview. Pls, can we hear from those who did theirs today? Any information concerning the interview schedule of the the rest of the applicants? Any clue in respect of the end of the process?

nairalanderfan:
For MDAs aside CSC expect invite mails and or sms anytime from tomorrow. Recruitment interviews will be concluded March and appointment letters by April.

Another controversial rumour?

muhyideenabdul:
I got an information from a person with little idea about it that, the interview shows you are ready and attempt to work with them. The next stage is appointment letter and there will be an aptitude test for it where they normally assess the effort. Therefore according to the person, the interview is not the assessment just to know how many people are ready for the work.

I don't understand, pls make yourself explicit. You mean there is going to be another stage after this (interview) stage to screen people out? The process is getting too long and tiring.

FG to engage more qualified teachers, might consider N-Power beneficiaries

NEWS! Buhari reveals plans to Nigerian teachers, speaks on N-PowerPublished 6 seconds ago on January 14, 2020 By Wale Odunsi

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday in Abuja said the Federal Government is ready to engage more qualified teachers to increase the teacher-to-pupil ratio in the country.

Receiving the leadership of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Buhari acknowledged that Nigeria had a deficit of teachers, which his administration is addressing through the N-Power Teach Volunteers scheme under National Social Investment Programme (NSIP).

“We have created a dedicated platform under the National Social Investment Programme called N-Power Teach, which engages qualified graduates to man the gaps of basic education delivery in Nigeria.

“These N-Power Teach Volunteers are deployed as teacher assistants in primary schools across Nigeria to support existing teachers.

“The aim of this, and many other Government programmes, is to increase the teacher-student ratio at the primary school level thereby enhancing the quality of students moving to secondary schools.

“I want to take this opportunity to ask all members of Nigeria Union of Teachers to support these programmes and encourage as many qualified and willing graduates to enrol in the teaching profession,’’ the President said.

In his remarks, NUT President, Dr Nasir Idris, commended the Buhari administration strides in the education sector.

“Gigantic gains in the anti-corruption crusade, technical defeat of Boko Haram terrorists in the North East, restoration of teaching and learning in the schools of the North-East geo-political zone that were affected by insurgency, securing the release of Dapchi schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram insurgents.”

The union leader also praised the Buhari government for sustaining the National School Feeding Programme, establishing the National Secondary Schools Commission to regulate secondary education and the proposed establishment of six federal colleges of education across the geo-political zones of the country.

Presenting some pressing challenges of the teachers to the President, the NUT leader appealed for presidential assent to the Bill on Teachers Retirement Age, and the Teachers Special Salary Structure (TSSS), among others.

According to Idris, the Teachers Retirement Age, when signed into law, will improve teacher-to-pupil ratio in the country, improve teachers retention rate in public primary and secondary schools and ‘‘revolutionise and strengthen the profession for the wellbeing of the nation’s schools.’’

I think u r right. Spoke to someone yesterday and he told me they r sorting and compiling the names of successful candidates and that we should start receiving emails regarding our posting for end of November to early December.

From your statements here, mails for successful applicants should be expected from next Friday to early December. So, people should zero their minds and look forward to next Friday for mails.

arike_olayemi@yahoo.com

This will be nice.

Good morning everyone.
Pls, is it still safe for one to make payment for application? The portal was supposed to be closed yesterday, but as at this moment, it's still opened.

Good afternoon and Happy Sunday to everyone here.
I just discovered that usage of debit card for the registration form payment is problematic.
Anybody with a solution to this problem? Registration closes tomorrow and I wouldn't want to miss out. I will appreciate an urgent response in order to meet tomorrow's deadline.
Thanks.

Nice. UNILAG comes to mind.

You are a fool for rushing into conclusion.
For the man to send her away after good 8years means the man must have been going through torment all these years.

The only blame I have on the man is that he wasn’t careful and watchful enough while they were dating or he just ignored some of these deficits he pointed out hoping she will change later on , but not knowing human beings don’t really change.

Sooner or later majority of men will realize that women are just unnecessary burden to men without apparent usefulness but rather injurious to their wellbeing.

If you must have children, look for an girl to impregnate and send her away afterwards and be single so you can live a long and happy life you deserve.

Don’t cut short your life because of a mere woman, is not worth it not at all.

These set of junks you people call wives are your worse worse enemy.

A lady tested positive to HIV but unfornately her husband tested negative and the woman is with a pregnancy of 7months.

She instructed us not to inform her husband of her HIV status... but we had to let the husband know of the status of her wife.

The woman had been on medication for long that is why she was unable to infect the man with the virus becaus her viral load was too low to infect the man: these are the demons you people regard as wives.
The bolded got me.

Men please be careful: don’t ever allow any woman to jeopardize your happiness and lifespan for any reason.

WORD.

Agreed. It's a great way to make money.
But where's the pleasure in masturbating under duress?

More importantly, we don't want to go to bed every night knowing we've got kids out there... As such in one voice, the Vaseline crew association kindly rejects this offer.
