Oyo LG Crisis: NULGE Directs Members To Resume Wednesday |OGBOMOSO INFO|





Three weeks after it directed its members to stay away from work, the leadership of the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees(NULGE) in Oyo State, on Tuesday instructed members to resume work on Wednesday.

In a memo titled “resumption of duty” dated Tuesday, 18 February 2020, signed by the state secretary, Chucks M. Nwankwo and sent to its members across the 33 local government and 35 Local Government Development Authorities, through the union’s state officers and all branch chairmen of the union, reads: “our press release of 25th January 2020 and our letter vide NULGE/OYS.4/Vol.VII/56 of 4th February 2020 on the above subject matter is pertinent.

“The SEC-in-Session on Tuesday, once again appreciate the co-operation and solidarity of our members with the ‘Sit at home’ directive issued in the wake of the leadership feud in our respective Local Governments and having reviewed the prevalent situation resolved as follows:



“That our members resume work immediately, i.e with effect from Wednesday, 19 February 2020.”

The union thereafter saluted its members’ courage while the struggle lasted.


“We salute you as we continue to jointly stand up for your welfare, safety, and security.”

The Chairman of NULGE in Oyo State, Alhaji Bayo Titilola-Sodo, also confirmed the development in a telephone conversation.

He said members have been directed to resume back to work on Wednesday morning.

He said on Tuesday “since it is past 4.00 pm already. We’ll resume back to work on Wednesday morning.”

It would be recalled that the union directed its members to stay away from work on January 27 in view of the friction between the sacked members of the Association of Local Government of Nigeria ( ALGON) and the newly constituted local government caretaker committee members in the state.

The NULGE chairman stated that the executive directed its members to stay away from work pending when the ongoing feud between the two warring parties would be resolved, adding that the decision taken by the highest policy making body of the union was binding on all council workers, and the resumption date would be determined later.

Akudaaya: Tinubu, Abacha and Shettima’s Theory of Ruthless Leadership | Festus Adedayo

  OPINION By Festus ADEDAYO In what seems to affirm that he wears controversies like apparel, vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), Kashim Shettima, leapt into yet another at the twilight of last week. On Thursday at the 96th-anniversary celebration of the Yoruba Tennis Club in Ikoyi, Lagos state, Shettima was quoted to have said that Nigeria needed the “hospitality” of General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s despotic military ruler; Nigeria’s own contribution to the list of infamous rulers who ruled the world with infernal ruthlessness. As the controversy over what he actually said raged, Shettima came out with a clarification: He actually said that in 2023, Nigeria needed a president who possessed “a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity”. Nigerians have since been engaged in dissecting what lay atop the mind of a man who could be the country’s vice president. “We need a leader with a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity of General Sani Abacha… Nice men do not ma...

Oyo Speaker Meets Senate Leadership, Deliberates State Assembly, LG Autonomy |OGBOMOSO INFO|

The Speaker of the 9th Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin met the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan to deliberate issues around financial autonomy for States Assembly and local governments. The brief meeting which was held yesterday after a national legislative assignment in Abuja, it’s considered necessary to improve cooperation between the National Assembly (Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives) and the State legislative arm. According to Ogundoyin, the wide gap between the National and the State assembly needs to be bridged to ensure that the common interest of the people are genuinely and adequately represented. He noted that the local government and State Assembly are closer to the people, saying the financial autonomy is essential towards meeting grassroot needs and making the State lawmakers run their legislative duties without hindrances. He said, “The distinguished Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan is a stakeholder in the nation...

LAUTECH: Solving One Problem But Creating Another |Adewuyi Adegbite

    By Adewuyi Adegbite The sole ownership of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) by Oyo State is a welcome development. Joint ownership of the institution by Oyo and Osun states has culminated into protracted crises in the institution, which has had telling effects on the students, the staff and its rating as the best state university in Nigeria as well as the relationship between the owner states. Thus, the taking over of the institution by the Oyo State Government is applauded by all and sundry as a pragmatic way of engendering peace. However, the report credited to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde that the institution would be run as a multi-campus is sad news for all Ogbomoso indigenes as well as lovers of justice. I wish to advise the Oyo State Government to reconsider the idea in the interest of peaceful coexistence among the various zones of the state, which is homogenous. Numerically and population-wise, Ogbomoso geo-political zo...
