Governor Dickson

Bayelsa State Governor, the Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson on Monday gave workers in the state a special gift ahead of this year's May Day celebration, as he lifted the embargo on implementation of promotion in the state.
The governor as a show of committment directed the immediate implementation and payment of promotion benefits to all workers in the state as well as the arrears of promotion that has been accumulated.
At a meeting with labour leaders in the state inside the Government House, Yenagoa, Governor Dickson also approved the spread of the payment to the end of the tenure of his adminsitration.
The State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Daniel Iworiso-Markson who disclosed this said the governor equally informed the leadership of the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) of the decision of his government to conduct a special interview for the employment of teachers in the state.
Iworiso-Markson explained that as a laudable initiative, local government councils will be encouraged to also implement the decisions as regards their staff.
Confirming the development to journalists after the meeting, the labour leaders thanked the governor for lifting the embargo and directing the implementation and payment of promotion arrears before the end of his tenure.
They thanked the governor for the ongoing Labour House project and commended him for always consulting and engaging them before taking any decision affecting them in the state.
The labour leaders described Governor Dickson as the most labour friendly governor who has constructively engaged labour more that any other leader and has always placed the welfare and wellbeing of workers as a top priority.

Press Statement ... Political Violence:Afenifere Condemns Attacks on Ndigbo in Lagos

Image
Afenifere condemns in the strongest terms the political violence visited on Nigerians of Ndigbo extraction in Lagos during the Saturday Presidential elections.  Dirty political merchants and their band of thugs apart from engineering political disenfranchisement of Ndigbo,went ahead to visit violence on them and burning their votes en masse. The political vandals they used were said to have been calling themselves OPC but our checks with the genuine leaders of the group have shown that the deragend elements had no affiliation with the OPC known by Afenifere. We frown seriously at the failure of the security agencies to give adequate cover to Ndigbo in the affected communities as these thugs went berserk carrying out the instructions of their sinking political godfathers. We want to assure our Igbo Brothers and Sisters that the bond of friendship the Afenifere and Ohanaeze Ndigbo have built particularly under the dynamic leadership of Chief John Nwodo remains strong an

LEADERSHIP QUOTES: Paul Kagame, on Radio Rwanda:

"If our country ranks first in Africa, and the whole world is watching us today, it is not because we have the Vatican, the Kabba, the White House, the Elysee or the Taj Mahal here at home. No more because you have a certain Paul Kagame as Head of State, but rather because you have sons and daughters of Rwanda in this country. Men and especially young people and Rwandan women who have forgiven each other, and who have taken the destiny of their country in their hands, by the meaning of work, innovations and patriotism as key to their progress and development . What we are doing here in Rwanda is not a miracle, nor is it impossible elsewhere, it is simply the commitment of an entire nation, especially Rwandan youth and women, but also political will. Soon, we will have the best universities in the world in our country (NYU, Harvard, London School of Economics, MIT ...) We will also have the best hospitals in Rwanda. The intelligence and competence of our children wil
