Power grabbing is our major challenge in this part of the world! Images an old man lying because of political powers. The question is ? why telling us the true which may not even be the truth now. How does the cover up help the country rather those of you close to the power who use the opportunity to steal from the government? It's so pathetic

The Executive Secretary,
OGUN State Primary Health Care Development Board,
Oke- Mosan, Abeokuta, OGUN State.
Dear sir,
Immunization Plus Malaria Process by Acceleration Coverage and Transforming (IMPACT) Project.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I write to bring to your notice the untold hardship and serious deprivation not to mention economic hazard being faced daily by the ad-hoc staff in the post of Community Health Extension Workers (CHEW) appointed by OGUN STATE Primary Health Care Development Board under the World Bank funded IMPACT Project.
These hapless youths were given letters of employment dated 4th March, 2025 with a stipend of #52,000:00 monthly salary and were posted to various government Health Centers/ Hospitals in the State.
It is noteworthy that almost five months after the assumption of duty, these health workers have not been paid the meagre salary there by causing them serious deprivation and financial hardship which has made life hellish for the majority of them.
It is instructive to know that many of them resigned from various private hospitals where they were gainfully employed believing that working for the State Government offers a better prospect and career development than remaining in private hospitals. These young Nigerians were excited at the prospect of working with the State Government and therefore left their comfort zones with the attendant expenses associated with relocating to their various stations to assume duty.
Sadly however, it became a sad commentary several weeks after assuming duty when they were informed that the monthly stipend would be #52,000:00 monthly in a country where the minimum wage is fixed at #70,000:00. But that is not even the focus of this mail.
Even as meagre as the monthly stipend is, it is dehumanizing that almost 5 months after assuming duty, these health workers have not been paid thereby subjecting them to serious financial hardship and agony so much so that majority of them are not able to feed not to mention afford transport fare to their various stations where they are duty bound to report daily.
The cost of living in Nigeria is at all time high. This is an open secret. Many of these workers spend close to between #1,000:00 and #2,000:00 daily on transport fare to and from their various stations. The cost of that alone has eroded the monthly stipend of #52,000:00. Then there's the cost of feeding and other sundry expenses.
There is no one to push the case of these hapless struggling Nigerian youths. Some of them have been forced to borrow from neighbors just to eat and to come to work. Some others (particularly the females) have to do other unsavory things to keep body and soul together.
This letter is an appeal to the conscience of whoever is in the position to without further delay approve the payment of these health workers salary from assumption of duty till date. To continue to deny them of their pay while expecting them to report for duty daily in this harsh economic environment is not only inhumane but outrightly wicked.
I trust that this mail from a concerned citizen will elicit the necessary action from a God fearing government official.
Please have the assurance of my best regards.
Thanks and God bless.

What is #10 billion compared to what they stash away for whatever reason? They can't create jobs. They can't pay lecturers. Who are these people?

So Polytechnic graduate that passed through the 6 months SIWES field training and additional 1 year I.T field training, and still treated as inferior in the labour market and also in the COREN body is still expected to go for another 1 year training before NYSC... COREN should think better.

Has the law and constitution changed in both Jonathan and Tinubu's administration. How come that the Minister of Justice in Jonathan's regime could advice that the president do have the power to remove an elected counsellor but the Tinubu you serve as your immediate boss could remove an elected governor. Posterity will judge every man

Dear Sir,
I am a graduate in Technical Education (B.Educ) with special reference to Metal Work Technology. I graduated from ABU, Zaria, at KADUNA POLYTECHNIC.
I then got employed by NIP0ST under Engineering Department. That was where I registered under COREN....... otherwise I would not have been been promoted periodically during the service, to the grade that I finally received my letter of retirement from the Federal Government Services.
Sir, are you including the B. Educ (Tech) in the one compulsory training in engineering before thier one year NYSC.?
PLEASE and KINDLY, tolerate me indicate that there is need, from my knowledge and experience, to include them.
Yours Sincerely. (COREN registered member) .

Please I want to know who foots the bills? And whether proper arrangement has been made by government or COREN for that purpose? Thirdly, how about making engineering a 4-year programme with a full year internship as an alternative?

Hmm, what you saying? After spending five years in university, they'll undergo another one-year program, followed by a one-year NYSC, totalling seven years. When it is not medicine. What's the purpose of the six-month IT internship at the 400 level? If they structured it like ICAN's program, it would be better. Study accounting, get your certificate, serve, and start working. If you want to become a chartered accountant, you can sit for their exams. In advanced countries like US, Canada, and UK it is 4-5 years. So, what is their problem in Nigeria?

It's a good development. That means the five years in school will have to be reduced to four years. Most universities in diaspora are four years. Just wondering.... What is the purpose of the 6 months industrial training?
