It means no Permanent Secretary or Director can use more than 8 years (2 term of 4 years each) in his/her position. Even if he/she is 40 years when he/she became a director. This also means Permanent Secretaries or Directors can retire before the age of 60 or attainment of 35 years in service, if he/she has served the mandatory 8 years in that position.

I am still finding it hard to understand what people are saying about gender equality. In Nigeria where I am and grew up. The only place where females don't have same right to education is in the north, and if you ask me, it's not even what a bill can do, because if a bill is passed for this purpose, is the bill going to fund the child's fees and cost of living ? If a father has said, 'I am not educating my female child'. Is it not better to educate the man to see reasons as to why his child needs education instead of passing a bill? And as per Job opportunities, women are heading very powerful ministries in Nigeria, Deputy governors inclusive. We have great examples like Late Dora Akunyuli, Dieziani, Stella Oduah, Anne Ene-Ita and many more. If these women are heading powerful positions, then what are we fighting for about gender equality. Lastly, marriage, the role of a woman and a man in marriage is different and it can only be so. The only aspect where I think you women are fighting for is to be the custodian of a children and property automatically immediately the man dies, but this aspect is why we have a will, if a man has a will, I think all of these would be very simple, but we should also look at a point whereby a man dies when the woman is very young, in this situation, the woman would most likely marry another man, are you saying it's right for the woman to take everything the man has acquired and go marry another man? If I'm asked, I would say no, so if that is the case, the woman should get a certain percentage of the property and the rest be given to the kids. So I don't know what these people are talking about o, someone should enlighten me more. @uchejombo please explain to me what I don't understand here.

I see people chanting men are the head of this and that. Nobody is saying they're not the head of the family. Gender equality is important for one of the scenarios she stated - equal pay. Why should a man get more salary than a woman for the same job? it is wrong. Gender equality doesn't be little men, it empowers women to be more confident. There are many women/girls out there who will not even bother with education because they know a guy will be picked over them. This legislation will make girls more interested in Education, have higher aspirations in life because they know they will be treated equally in a work/education environment. My 2 pence.

P.S. I'm not a feminist, just someone who thinks equality is important no matter the age, gender, race, tribe etc

Really lucas?

How can a right be hijacked? The right to bear arms is very clear and should not be touched.

By the way, why are u liberals blaming guns for orlando? How come you never called for the ban on pressure cookers in Boston?

I envy a friend of mine who works as a locum doctor in the NHS. He makes a good living earning more than permanently employed doctors doing the same jobs. I have often asked him why he prefers locum, he advised that locum is were the money is. This is someone who makes at least £60 per hour working 12 hour shifts 5 days a week. There was a time when I even considered going back to uni to do the accelerated 4 year medicine degree. To answer your question, there is virtually no unemployment for doctors in UK, and most locum agencies prefer non-UK doctors because they are hardworking and are ready to work unsociable hours.

“Can you imagine fighting a war and the people you were trying to protect were thinking that soldiers out there on the streets of Maiduguri, were an army of occupation, which brought a lot of political dimension to the issues.'

Still waiting for the 350 billion naira cash injection into the economy.

Pelosi is pushing for a female Vp...not a good idea. This is not the time for Charles Angel or Amazonia conquest ma'am.

Female VP?
They should just give Trump the keys to the White House instead.
Hilary has been portrayed as a 'candidate for the women.' Her whole campaign will be reducted to a gender war.
