Prof Charles Soludo: A Visionary Leader set to Develop Anambra State

It was earlier reported by Nairametrics that the Governor, in a statement made while he was still governor-elect, said, “Igbo land is one and we must protect it. We want to bring back the zeal of patronizing our own. I have said it even during campaigns, and I meant it, that if I win, the official car of the governor of Anambra State will be Innoson motors.”

“Democracy is the ultimate, positive revolution because it gives each and every individual the power to control their lives.” A Leader is someone who is ready to give his entire life to serve his people, someone with attributes to lead right. Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has exbits uncommon exemplary leadership character which has shown that his ready to improves the standard living conditions of his people, and enlarge the coast of Anambra developments through local made products.

Governor Charles Soludo, has promised to revive firms (Akwaete clothing) in Anambra and improved others home-made product in the state. The governor which was seen on a locally made fabric, known as Akwete, during his inauguration last week emphasized that his outfit was not a coincidence as he did it on purpose to support local firms. He said, “My Akwete dress is not just a dress, it is a statement. You know in the entire South-east, this is the only textile alive, and it is homemade. The dresses I will be wearing are those made locally in our place here. We must protect the things that are made in our place. Something is about to happen in Igboland, and together we will get there, he explained”.

This statement disclosed and attitude displaced by Prof. Charles Soludo, has demonstrates his support and commitment towards supporting Nigerian-made products and the manufacturing sector. This initiative is very commendable, and it will be great if all government officials in Anambra State and Nigeria as a whole can take a cue from him.

I feel that most government officials haven’t yet emancipate and themselves from mental slavery to think that foreign-made products are more superior and durable to locally made products. This is why Nigeria has been hampered by a high level of importation, with billions of dollars wasted on things that could be produced locally. Over-dependence on the importation of these foreign goods has devalued the Naira and weakened the economy.

This move by Prof. Soludo, if implemented will be beneficial because it will reverse the trend of patronizing foreign-made goods to locally made ones. It will restore confidence in locally made goods. One thing he should ensure to do, is to provide financial and other forms of support needed to manufacturers of these locally made goods so that they will have the needed facilities and equipment to be able to manufacture such goods, especially in very large quantities.

It would be a thing of pride for not just the Igbo Nation but Nigeria as a whole if locally made brands compete with well-known foreign brands. For instance, Innoson motors competing with top brands like Toyota, Nissan, etc, and locally made brands competing with top brands like Zara, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc. Once these brands gain not just local dominance but penetrate the foreign market, it will positively impact the economy. Money spent on the importation of these goods will be invested home, which can also lead to the exportation of locally made products.

If only the Nigerian government is visionary enough to see that promoting locally made goods will greatly improve the economy, they will take a cue from Prof. Charles soludo. There are so many creative talents untapped here. Proper investment and patronage will turn things around. Not only will poverty be kept at bay, the teeming youths would not resort to vice in the society, because they would be productively engaged. The economy of any nation grows rapidly when locally made goods are promoted.

The governor who promised that his Government would not rest until every child that is of schooling age is in school, when the cost of living is down to near zero, when the people have access to health care amongst other promises.

BIODUN ABAYOMI OYEBAJI, *BAO*; Continuity To Brighten The Future Of EKITI State;

Leadership is the ability to transform vision into reality without fuss. The attainment of good governance is a function of effective leadership, especially when judging in the light of Onah’s (2005) assertion that the attainment of organizational goals would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, if there were no specific individuals with the authority and responsibility to plan, organize, coordinate, lead and control activities. Ademolekun (1986) leadership as an interpersonal influence exercised in a situation and directed through communication process toward the attainment of desired goals, we therefore assert that effective leadership is the ability to persuade others to seek defined objectives enthusiastically and efficiently. While the debate on whether leaders are made or born persists, true leaders ignore such arguments and concentrate on developing the leadership qualities necessary for success; Qualities as adopted from Kouzes and Posner (n.d) honesty; forward-looking; competence; inspiring; and intelligence.Thus, one’s ability to exhibit these five leadership qualities is strongly correlated with people’s desire to follow one’s lead, as exhibiting these traits will inspire confidence in one’s leadership, and not exhibiting these traits or exhibiting the opposite will decrease one’s leadership influence with those around you.

Therefore, the need for good leadership becomes unequivocal. To represent a politically and educative sensitive people of our noble State, Ekiti State, it's beyond lies and deciets but a geniue and sincere commitment towards serving the good people of Ekiti State. It requires someone with a proven quality to perform with a good background information and understanding of the area and its people, in view of this, Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji *BAO* is not about glorious crowning acts. He make people focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. He set the groundwork for others’ success, and then standing back and letting them shine.

Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji *BAO*, is a man who create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion. He is a man who cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand.

However, the unprecedented achievement of Biodun Ayobami Oyebanji, *BAO* can be described as leadership with focus and intellectual prowess to project the image of Ekiti State and Nigeria as a whole.

As Ekiti 2022 Gubernitorial Election approaches, it is of high importance and of necessity for us to think deep into the future of Ekiti State. As we know that elections belong to the people, the people are the one to decide who they want to lead them, as the Governor. Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, *BAO* is a patriot, who is committed to strive for a more perfect union, he understand that he cannot accomplish much by himself but rather prioritize INCLUSIVENESS both the YOUTH'S and ADULT'S INCLUSIVENESS. I doff my hat to this humble, calm, reliable and ever dependable leader.

Strike: Why we’re shutting down universities — SSANU

February 28,  2022

—Says U3PS to replace IPPIS ready for presentation

THE Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, weekend said that it will soon shut down universities as a result of the inability of the federal government to honour the Memorandum of Action, MoA, it signed with the union.

SSANU said it has been reluctant to resume its suspended strike because of its effect on students, university education and the parents, regretting that the federal government was forcing the union to down tools.

 

This is as the universities non-teaching staff have said that they are ready to present to the federal government the Universities Peculiar Personnel Payroll System, U3PS, which is expected to replace the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, IPPIS.

The National President of SSANU, Comrade Mohammed Ibrahim told journalists in Abuja that the U3PS was designed by professionals and that it captures all the peculiarities including payment for sabbatical, visiting lecturers etc.

 

Comrade Ibrahim said that the inconsistencies of the IPPIS which he claimed have caused untold hardship were still faced by non-teaching staff.

According to him, “It was agreed that the 2009 Agreement should be reviewed every three years but 12 years after, not even 50 percent was implemented. Part of the areas we have agreed for review is the Responsibility Allowances for heads of departments, Hazard Allowances, Call/Shift Duty Allowances for Nurses, Doctors, Engineers etc and Overtime Allowances. They should invite us immediately for the renegotiation.

He further said that another contentious issue is the renegotiation of the 2009 Agreement with the federal government that was long overdue was.

“Another of our major concern is the payment of the minimum wage arrears. They told us that they have budgeted for it and that we should submit the necessary requirements which we complied with but yet, nothing has been done.

“We (leadership of SSANU and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions) are going to meet in a few days to take our position. We have been reluctant to shut down the universities because of their effect on the education system, students and parents but it appears that our peaceful disposition to resolve issues amicably is being taken for granted by the government.

“Remember it is just a resumption, we only suspended the strike to allow the government to implement the Memorandum of Action and we can resume anytime.

“Our members are facing hardships. The inconsistencies of the IPPIS are still there, cooperative deductions and check-off dues are not remitted to unions. Some of our members who are into the corporative collected loans from banks and the banks do not entertain excuses.

“Our U3PS is ready to be presented to the government. We assembled professionals, remember we make payments for staff and we should have a better understanding of how the system works. We commissioned our professionals for the U3PS to replace the IPPIS, we have captured all our peculiarities including sabbatical, visiting lecturers.”
