A human rights activist based in Ilesa, Osun State, Mr. Kanmi
Ajibola, has warned Governor Rauf Aregbesola against going ahead with
the plan to sack 678 workers of the LAUTECH Teaching Hospital.
Ajibola, who is also a lawyer said at a press conference in Osogbo
on Wednesday that the governor could not take any action on the issue
because a case had been instituted against him before an Osogbo High
Court.
Ajibola said “The governor claims he is good and somebody who
respects the rule of law and he must demonstrate it. The case has been
taken to court and he must abide by the rule of law and should not do
anything against it pending the destination of the suit.
“Anything done after the service of the processes becomes illegal
and he should not be involved in such but should rather wait patiently
until the case is resolved in court.”
The lawyer said the vacancies were advertised and candidates
applied for the positions after which they were employed with the
government’s approval.
According to them the affected workers have been working and
receiving salaries for over four years, wondering why the government
would want to sack them now for no reason.
He stated that sacking the workers would render them jobless and add to the problem of unemployment in the state.
The Acting Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Prof. Akeem
Lasisi, could not be reached for comment on the alleged planned sacking
as calls put across to did not connect.
However, the Chairman, Governing Board of the hospital, Prof.
Oluwole Atoyebi, had queried the former CMD, Prof. Olufemi Fadiora over
the alleged Illegal recruitments in the hospital.
Most people in Nigeria now buy petrol way above the normal N86.50
price. They now buy as high a N150, waiting for hours in long queues
under harsh weather conditions.
Nigerians who responded to our survey on how much petrol costs in
their area also indicated that while the “new generation or small” fuel
stations are more guilty of selling above the normal price, the “big
multinationals” sell at normal price but have longer queues.
According to the survey, only 11.2 percent of our respondents get
petrol at N86.50. A mere 1.1 percent buy at N100, while 11.5 percent buy
at N130. The highest number of people (27.9 percent) buys the commodity
at N140 while the remaining 25.4 percent buy above N140.
Words like “bad”, “terrible”, “horrible”, “hectic”, “insane” and a
few unprintable words were employed by almost 70 percent of respondents
to describe their experiences on the queues for fuel. Screen shot of respondents’answers
Apart from the physical exhaustion that comes with hustling for fuel, respondents also point out its impact on their business.
“It is a terrible experience to behold,” one respondent said.
“Queuing for long hours not even certain of fueling your car; it is
quite frustrating and exhausting. Imagine being on queue and business
associates are calling to transact a business or to conclude outstanding
deals. The experience doesn’t have a better word to describe it.”
“Very pathetic experience, spending more useful time in the queue and
more money at that,” another respondent said. “Still salary remains the
same. Government should do something fast.”
From Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State, a respondent said, there
are several people as expected due to the normal price which is N86:50
at MRS filling station, Isale Igbein Abeokuta. The manager has firm
control of the surging crowd. I believe she is respected due to her
truthfulness and transparency. Several other filling stations in
Abeokuta however sell at between N120-150/Ltr.”
From Asaba, the capital of Delta State, a respondent said, “Obviously
there is fuel in most filling stations in my location (Asaba), there
are no queues actually because of the price. However, there are massive
queues in stations selling at govt prices.”
From the capital of Rivers State, a respondent said, “In Port
Harcourt city center the stations don’t sell. In the outskirts petrol is
sold above N150 in the stations. Where it is sold at N86.50 there are
very long queues.”
In “Lokoja, Kogi State capital, very long queues are seen at NNPC
filling stations which I cannot bear,” a respondent said. “Major
petroleum marketers such as Conoil, Total, etc are not selling as their
stations are closed for operation and individual marketers are selling
at N170.”
From Ikare Akoko, one of Ondo State’s major cities a respondent said,
“No much queues at few private filling stations that are selling in
Ikare Akoko. Most Major marketers have no fuel to sell but the private
marketers are selling at N150.00.”
“I live at Afikpo Ebonyi State; here Petrol is sold between 180 Naira and 200 Naira a litre,” a respondent said.
“In my area, Aja lekki Lagos, they are selling at the normal price
86.50k but you must be on queues from morning till evening before
getting the product,” another respondent said.
From Niger State a respondent said, “I bought petrol for 180 naira in Minna.”
Some respondents even raised issues about the quality of the fuel
available in their locations. They call on the government to quickly
find a solution.
The crisis rocking the Kogi State House of Assembly assumed a new
dimension yesterday when the complex was finally sealed of by the
security agents.
This follows the failure of the Assembly to resolve the leadership
crisis that has bedeviled the house in the last three months.
Our correspondent who visited the Assembly complex yesterday morning
observed that the main entrance to the assembly complex was blocked by
heavily armed policemen and prevented members who were billed to conduct
budget defence from accessing the complex.
The road leading to the complex was also barricaded by armed
policemen who subjected staff of the assembly to scrutiny and only
allowed them in upon confirmation of their employment status through
their Identity Cards.
The security agent claimed to be acting based on instructions from
the commissioner of police following a directive from the Force
Headquarters in Abuja.
Speaking on the seal-off, Mr Aliyu Akuh, deputy to the embattled
speaker Momoh-Jimoh Lawal said the crisis remained unresolved as earlier
directive to return to status quo ante by the House of Representatives
was ignored by the five members.
He said it was an aberration for five out of the then 20 members of
the assembly to impeach the speaker on whom the remaining 15 members had
passed a vote of confidence in his leadership.
Akuh said that the 15 members considered the action of the minority
five members as an infringement on the constitution of the country
adding that in a good democratic setting such infringements must be
challenged.
“What happened with five members seeking to impeach a speaker in a
house of 20 members is an aberration, unheard of and more so that some
members’ names and signatures were forged and included as being part of
them.
“We had to go to the higher authority which is the National Assembly
vested with the constitutional powers to intervene in such situations.
The House of Representatives ordered the seal-off and it was concurred
by the Senate,” he said.
On the position of the law with the suit filed by the five members at
the Federal High Court, Lokoja challenging the intervention of the
National Assembly on the impasse, Akuh said there was no injunction or
court order restraining the National Assembly.
The factional speaker, Alhaji Umar Imam described the seal-off as
illegal saying that for the National Assembly to have gone ahead to
seal-off the assembly in spite of the fact that the matter was pending
in court smacked of illegality.
Imam who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Umar Ali said the
action of the National Assembly was aimed at stunting the growth of the
state as all legislative businesses especially the passage of the 2016
Appropriation Bill would be affected.
Efforts to get the state command of the Nigeria Police to confirm
failed as the Public Relations Officer, Williams Aya in a text message
said he was in a meeting.
The rift between the Minister of
Communications, Mr. Adebayo Shittu, and the Nigerian Postal Service over
the collection of stamp duty on Tuesday claimed its first victim as the
Federal Government sacked the acting Postmaster General of the
Federation, Mr. Enoch Ogun.
Trouble started for Ogun when on Tuesday he was summoned to the Ministry of Communications with his Deputy Postmaster General.
At the meeting which was presided over
by the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Mr. Sonny Echeno, Ogun was
told that the minister had approved his retirement and had directed that
he should hand over to the most senior officer in the organisation, Dr.
Richard Balami.
Although Ogun was due to retire from
NIPOST by the end of December 2015, he was directed to remain in office
until a substantive Postmaster General was appointed.
The process of appointing a substantive
PMG and Chief Executive Officer of the postal organisation has been on
and Ogun applied for the job which was thrown open.
He had been seen as the candidate to beat.
Cosmo learnt that following
the development, Balami’s appointment was announced as the new acting
PMG via a circular.
Until his appointment, Balami was DPMG, Special Duties.
Correspondent had reported that the
Ministry of Communications and the Nigerian Postal Services were on a
collision course over the appointment of agents for the collection of
stamp duties in several sectors of the economy.
NIPOST had last week interviewed about
30 new companies and individuals who had applied to serve as agents to
NIPOST for the collection of stamp duties but Shittu in a statement on
Monday said NIPOST had not been authorised to appoint any new agent for
the collection of stamp duties.
The minister, who has yet to return from
a trip to South Korea and China, said the process should be suspended
until grey areas surrounding the agency’s claims had been sorted and
until a substantive Postmaster-General had been appointed.
He added that before this dispensation, a
few corporate bodies and organisations were claiming to have an
agreement with NIPOST in respect of the matter.
“It is therefore expedient to tread with
caution and ensure that all issues bordering on the administration of
the stamp duty by NIPOST are done in line with the Federal Government’s
commitment to due process, transparency and accountability,” he had
said.
In a telephone interview with our
correspondent, however, a top NIPOST official who spoke to our
correspondent on condition of anonymity said the acting PMG had not just
appointed a committee on stamp duty.
