Federal Government workers under the aegis of the Federal Workers Forum (FWF) on Monday staged a peaceful protest against the economic hardships and insecurity confronting workers inside the Federal Secretariat Ikolaba, Ibadan, Nigeria.
However, the protest was voluntary, as workers were not prevented from moving in and outside the secretariat-the two entrances remained opened.
In his words, Comrade Paul Balogun reminded the Federal Government that workers on its payroll were suffering, saying, ‘’ we are appealing to the Federal Government to pay the wage award immediately. The Federal; Government is still owing us two months wage award. The arrears should be paid immediately.’’
‘’The average Nigerian worker is living from hand to mouth, the average Nigerian worker is hungry and the monthly salary cannot take the average Nigerian worker home. Only N40,000 was added to the new minimum wage of N70,000 across board. We are appealing to the Federal Government to do the necessary, Comrade Balogun concluded.
For Comrade Olaniyi Ajibosho, workers have been experiencing difficulties reporting for duty daily.
‘’Workers can no longer report for duty as a result of the high cost of transport and poor salaries. Rents and school fees of our children are also there to address. We are suffering, ‘’ Comrade Ajibosho declared.
However, the National Coordinator of the FWF, Comrade Andrew Emelieze sums up the plight of the workers,’’ we are living in fear and economic hardships. Government should treat us like human beings. We are the geese that lays the golden eggs. Government should do all that is possible to reverse the ugly trend. Government should review the minimum wage now.
Be a Responsible Father(32nd REMEMBRANCE-CHIEF D.A ADEWUMI-JUNE20TH 2026)
Indeed, children's upbringing by fathers and mothers has resulted in a very disturbing and pitiable situation.
Chief Adewumi was a responsible and upright father who adhered strictly to the principles of successful living and standards revolving around honesty, firmness, resolution, transparency, courage, humility, tolerance, endurance and perseverance, generosity and philanthropy.
Let us retrace our steps by becoming responsible and fathers, just like Chief Adewumi, who impacted positively on several lives, including mine.
Members of the same family are plotting evil against each other because of inheritance.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
