Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State on Friday released N2 billion to offset part of the global cooperative deductions from the state workers.

The payment, which will cover four months, is meant to address the plight of the workers and pensioners.

The governor also promised to settle the outstanding deductions by releasing one billion naira quarterly until all the entire deductions are defrayed.

Akeem Lasisi, the Chairman, Trade Union Congress, Ogun branch, disclosed this at a news conference after a meeting between the leaders of labour and pensioners’ unions and the governor.

Mr Lasisi said the governor also released another N1 billion for gratuities of state and local government pensioners.

“The new gratuities is a 100 per cent increment from the earlier quarterly payment of N500 million he had earlier commenced in 2020.

“We had a fruitful meeting with the governor today. This is a follow-up to other meetings we had before.

“In the meeting, we told the governor that workers are tensed up and restless due to the non-payment of their deductions and he agreed to do something about it.

“I am glad to inform you that he has directed the immediate release of N1 billion for the payment of gratuities and that N1 billion will be released on quarterly basis for the pensioners.

“As at today, four months of global deductions has been paid and the governor also promised to do this on quarterly basis,” he said.

Mr Lasisi said the governor has promised that promotion letters for 2018 would be fully implemented in the new year while promotion entitlements for 2019 would commence by March 2022.

According to him, Mr Abiodun told the workers to expect to enjoy their promotion entitlements for 2020 “from May or June next year”.

Also speaking, the State Chairman, Nigeria Union of Pensioners, Waidi Oloyede, appreciated the state government for the gesture.

He praised the governor for accepting to look into the monthly increment, saying that some pensioners collected as low as N5,000 monthly as pension.

Isa Olude, the state Chairman, Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSON) and Chairman Joint Negotiations Committee called for commitment of the parties involved to build trust and avoid misunderstandings.

Speaking, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Waheed Odusile, reiterated government’s commitment to the welfare of both workers and pensioners. (NAN)

The writer is a paid Dapo Abiodun staff. When Dapo Abiodun ignore all the elders of Abeokuta warning about the abandoned projects in the state capital including the area where majority of the revenue of the state is coming from but focusing on area where all the population have relocated to Bariga in Lagos.
The writer did not complain, when one governor in the southwest ignore the projects of his predecessor we all want happened to him.
One of the major road ignore by Dapo since 2years ago because of what happened during the APC state Congress on Saturday he have deployed contractor to the road, it's just a tip of the iceberg.
We are watching.

Former governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun and one of his aides have been fingered in the crisis that occurred at the palace of the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo during a factional congress of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state on Saturday October 16.

Security sources within the state revealed that the immediate past governor and his henchman, one Honourable Mikky Kazeem, a former member of the House of Representatives is currently being investigated by the police over the ugly incident.

The police had on Monday paraded about six suspected thugs alleged to be loyalists of the former governor.

The suspected hoodlums were said to have confessed to the Police that Hon. Mikky Kazeem, a former SSA to Amosun sponsored them and gave them the guns and other ammunition found on them.

While parading the suspects:
Ibrahim Amoje, Yusuf Afeez, Olaide Sodiq, Adewale Ogundele, Femi Oke and Balogun Olawale Dhikrullai, the police had said that a British Beretta pistol and a locally made gun were found on them.

The mayhem was said to have left a number of people injured.

Sources revealed that the attack in Ake Palace was arranged by the loyalists of former governor Amosun to appear as if it was from the camp of Governor Dapo Abiodun of the state.

“The strategy has failed. Why would Governor Abiodun send hoodlums to attack a congress that was not given recognition. The Governor didn’t need that as it was known to all that the state exco from the Governor would be recognised.

“But the police are investigating the matter and we will all know the culprits after they have concluded their investigations which will come in a few days.

“Amosun is a desperate man, who just wanted to foment trouble, when he knows that he has lost out completely in the scheme of things as far as the APC is concerned in Ogun State,” said a source close to the former Governor.

When contacted on the telephone, the PPRO of the Ogun State Police Command, Mr. Abimbola Oyeyemi said that the police were still investigating the matter and that the arrested suspects have been making useful information and that the police would make their findings known to members of the public at the appropriate time.

“We are still investigating the case and the suspects arrested have been giving useful information. At the appropriate time we will make our investigations known to members of the public.”,Oyeyemi stated.

However, Hon. Mikky Kazeem did not pick calls made to his telephone lines to state his own side of the story over the allegations made against him. We even heard from sources close to him that he has gone underground.

It will be recalled that while the Ogun State chapter of the party held it’s Congress in MKO Abiola Stadium, Abeokuta, a faction of the party, loyal to Amosun, held a parallel congress at the Palace of the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo in Abeokuta.

We were informed that this was contrary to the directives of the national caucus of the APC, which gave recognition to only the executives of the party across the states that are loyal to the incumbent Governors or the highest political office holders in the states that are not being ruled by the party.

It was gathered that with this, the likes of Senator Ibikunle Amosun have lost out in the power tussle in their states.

The APC faction loyal to Governor Dapo Abiodun has since been given recognition by the national caucus of the party as the incumbent Governor.

The faction loyal to Senator Amosun had elected Chief Derin Adebiyi as the chairman.

But Chief Yemi Sanusi emerged as the Chairman of the faction supported by the incumbent Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun.

It will however be recalled that there was tension at the palace of the Alake of Egbaland, on Saturday October 16, when hoodlums stormed the venue of the state congress of the APC faction loyal to Amosun.

Gunmen broke into the venue, which was being used by the faction, shortly before the exercise commenced.

Hundreds of persons, including security operatives, scampered for safety amid the pandemonium.

The crowd of party supporters later threw stones at the hoodlums, who later fled the scene.

Apparently aggrieved that the security agents, including Police, NSCDC operatives, did not resist the hoodlums, the APC members, mostly youths, charged towards the security men and chased them away.

However, the security personnel, who ran momentarily, turned against the aggrieved youths, shooting into the air to resist further attacks.

The matter, we gathered, has further “shown that former governor Amosun is an enemy of the Ogun State APC despite the fact that he won a seat to the senate in 2019 through the party.”

The administration of Governor Dapo Abiodun and that of his predecessor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun have exchanged words over the accreditation of the nursing schools and midwifery in Ogun State, DAILY POST reports.

On Wednesday, the Abiodun government had claimed that it, for the first time in 45 years, secured full accreditation for the nursing schools and midwifery in Abeokuta, Ijebu-Ode and Ilaro, from the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN).

However, the immediate past administration described the claim as “lies”, saying the accreditation was done in 2017.

The incumbent Commissioner for Health, Tomi Coker, had said the full accreditation was “the first of its kind in the 45 years history of the State”, saying it “came with an upgrade of the schools of Nursing and Midwifery to Collegiate.”

Addressing a press conference in Abeokuta, Coker, said the Abiodun government committed N125 million to renovate and provide modern training facilities in the nursing schools to fulfill the requirements of NMCN.

She pointed out that the upgrade of the schools to Collegiate had resulted in the change of its name to Ogun State Schools of Nursing Sciences, thereby increasing the quota admission of students by 60%.

“The last accreditation team was in Ogun State in 2017 wherein we got provisional accreditation, which had been the trend in the history of our Schools of Nursing and Midwifery.

“The two-year expiration for all the schools was in 2019. The Covid-19 pandemic, however, made it impossible for the NMCN accreditation exercise in 2020. Hence, the exercise took place in July 2021,” Coker asserted.

But, in a swift reaction, the immediate past Commissioner for Health, Babatunde Ipaye debunked his successor’s claims in a statement he titled, ‘Ogun State School of Nursing Accreditation – The lies of Dapo Abiodun’s administration on 45 years and full accreditation‘.

Ipaye told Coker that, “to utter such an unverified statement is to abridge the labour of our leaders past.”

He said: “On the 10th July 2017, the delegations of the Nursing Council of Nigeria visited all the five schools (3 Nursing and 2 Midwifery) in Ogun State. The five schools were given accreditations and the numbers of students approved for admission doubled.

“Prior to this, the three schools had been shut down and were under lock and therefore had not trained nurses for years.

“After the visitation, the accreditation team described the school of Midwifery Abeokuta as the best and most equipped in Nigeria.

“The bill to convert the schools to colleges of Nursing was passed by the 7th Assembly of Ogun State under Senator Ibikunle Amosun, the Bill was signed into law in 2017 prior to the accreditation visit by the Nursing Council.

“The Hon. Commissioner that declared arrogantly that the schools had existed for 45 years without full accreditation should make public the bill that converts these schools to degree awarding institutions.

“She should also tell the public how she got access to Mr. Ndagi of the Nursing Council who only allowed her leverage on the strength of the relationship already built with the Ibikunle Amosun administration.

“The schools of Nursing Idi Aba and Ijebu Ode were two of the best in South West Nigeria from the second Republic of the Chief Bisi Onanbanjo through to the administration of Chief. Segun Osoba, Otunba Gbenga Daniel and Senator Ibikunle Amosun. To utter such an unverified statement is to abridge the labour of our leaders past.

“I am told the old students association has a response to this shocking statement.”

Two kidnappers were arrested on Sunday, October 3, 2021, by men of the Ogun State Police Command, while trying to pick ransom.

The suspects, Muhammed Abubakar, 42 and Clinton Niche, 18, were apprehended following a report lodged at Agbara Area Command by one Stephen Ajibili that his seven years old son, Daniel Ajibili, was abducted by unknown persons while he was sent on an errand by his mother at about 11:20 am.

He stated further that the abductors had called him and demanded for the sum of N1 million, if he wanted his son released.

Consequent upon the report, the acting area commander Agbara, Chief Superintendent of Police, Kayode Shedrack, quickly mobilized his detectives to embark on technical and intelligence- based investigation to unravel those behind the dastardly act.

According to a statement by the Ogun State Command spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, the efforts of the detectives paid off when the suspects who had directed the victim’s parents to drop the ransom somewhere were ambushed and apprehended by the police detectives.

Oyeyemi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, added that the suspects subsequently led the policemen to a bush where the innocent young boy was tied to a tree by his abductors.

“On interrogation, the suspects informed the police that they are three in number, but the remaining member of their gang was the person watching over their victim while they came out to collect the ransom. Having discovered that his two accomplices have been arrested, he took to flight immediately.

“Meanwhile, the acting commissioner of police, DCP, Abiodun Alamutu, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to anti-kidnapping section of the state criminal investigation and intelligence department for discreet investigation. He also directed that the fleeing member of the gang be hunted for and brought to justice within the shortest possible period,” Oyeyemi said.

Pensioners in Ogun state on Wednesday shutdown the Governor’s Office in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta in protest of the non payment of N68b 10 years outstanding gratuity.

The pensioners, under the aegis of Local Government Pensioners Association (LOGPAN) blocked the two main gates of the Governor’s Office secretariat, preventing the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Tokunbo Talabi and other civil servants from gaining entrance for over four hours.

The protesters, armed with placards with inscriptions such as: “gratuities are on sales to pensioners”, “Governor Dapo Abiodun honour your father and treat Pensioners well” and “Governor Abiodun Abiodun, we don’t deserve this worst humiliation”, among others accused the state governor of failing to keep his promises to the pensioners.

Addressing journalists, the State Chairman of LOGPAN, Sikiru Ayilara lamented that, some of them still earn paltry sum of N3,000 as monthly pension.

Ayilara described the quarterly payment of N500 million by the governor which according to him would take 34 years to clear all the gratuities as “a wicked act” which is unacceptable.

He called for the review of the policy by voting N1billion monthly instead of payment of N500m quarterly.

According to him, the association had written 13 letters to the governor seeking his audience to address their demands, a the governor has remained recalcitrant and unyielding to demands”.

He listed some of their demands to include, non-payment of gratuities, lateness of pension payment, non-increment in the monthly pensions and discrimination against the members of the association by the government among others.

Ayilara insisted that, it is illegal for the state government to be paying their pension through the Ministry of Finance instead of the Bureau of Local government pensions.

“We have written 13 letters to the Governor through various channels without response. We had informed all security apparatus in the state: DSS, Commissioner of police, Commandant of NSCDC, SSA on security matters to the Governor. They all intervened without any positive response from the Governor.

“We had informed all the four paramount rulers in the state with no result. We had held six meetings with the SSG, Chief of Staff, Head of Service, Commissioner for LG and Chieftaincy Affairs, among other notable government officials.

“Governor Abiodun should honour us; grandfathers and grandmothers and direct his personal attention to us for us to meet and find lasting solution to the inhuman treatments being meted to us at our old age, leading to untimely death death among us after serving the state for between 10 and 35 years.

“We demand immediate harmonisation of the pensions. We demand regular payment of our pensions as it was.”

Responding to the pensioners, the SSG, Tokunbo Talabi appealed to the pensioners to be more patient with the government, saying “the government is currently experiencing hard times.”

He assured that the government would look into the demands of the pensioners.
