Commenting on the dissolution of SARS by President Muhammadu Buhari during Tuesday's plenary, Gbajabiamila said the Nigerian people have spoken and that the government listened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the House had reached some resolutions last week on the brutality of SARS officers and that it was gladdening that the unit has been disbanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The people that we represent have spoken, and the government has listened. The President has unequivocally dissolved SARS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The House had last week reached some resolutions on the issue. It shows that we're on the same page with the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We should get the list of those that lost their lives so that during this budget process, we'll be able to appropriate for their full compensation,\" the Speaker said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gbajabiamila also noted that the House must keep to one of the resolutions it reached last week, which said the Green Chamber would immediately commence the legislative process of reforming the Nigeria Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He indicated that a proposed legislation would soon be tabled on the floor of the House on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is for the above purpose that the leadership of the House would meet with the national leadership of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) on Wednesday, the Speaker said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end of his remark, Gbajabiamila requested his colleagues to observe a minute of silence in honour of those who lost their lives in the protests, which they all obliged.<\/p>\n","post_title":"SARS protest: House to appropriates funds for compensation of victims","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sars-protest-house-to-appropriates-funds-for-compensation-of-victims","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-13 16:10:05","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-13 16:10:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=585","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":557,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2020-10-12 19:05:09","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-12 19:05:09","post_content":"\n

Workers in Kwara State public service has commenced an industrial action, as labour leaders denied receiving any court injunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The strike is to press home their demand for the implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage by the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though the state government on Monday said it had secured an injunction from the National Industrial Court restraining the workers from going on strike, civil servants in the state shunned their offices to comply with the directive of the organised labour in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was observed that the gates of some government offices, ministries, courtrooms and schools were locked and the areas deserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chairman of the NLC in the state, Mr. Issa-Ore, while expressing satisfaction with the level of compliance by the workers, told the media that the labour leaders received no court injunction on the strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have not received any court injunction from anyone that we should not go on strike to fight for the implementation of the minimum wage which has become a law in the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, on Tuesday appealed to the workers to understand the financial situation in the state, saying the state\u2019s treasury was too lean to accommodate the demands of the labour unions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The governor was said to have said this when he visited the dilapidated Banni Community Secondary School in Ilorin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the state government on Monday said it had secured an injunction from the National Industrial Court restraining the workers from going on strike, civil servants in the state shunned their offices to comply with the directive of the organised labour in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was observed that the gates of some government offices, ministries, courtrooms and schools were locked and the areas deserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chairman of the NLC in the state, Mr. Issa-Ore, while expressing satisfaction with the level of compliance by the workers, told the media that the labour leaders received no court injunction on the strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have not received any court injunction from anyone that we should not go on strike to fight for the implementation of the minimum wage which has become a law in the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, on Tuesday appealed to the workers to understand the financial situation in the state, saying the state\u2019s treasury was too lean to accommodate the demands of the labour unions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The governor was said to have said this when he visited the dilapidated Banni Community Secondary School in Ilorin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AbdulRazaq, in a statement by Rafiu Ajakaye, his Chief Press Secretary, said, \u201cIf we accede to the request of the labour, we will not be able to do any other thing other than paying workers. Our schools have collapsed; the basic health facilities need to be fixed, and we need to do much more for the rest of the population too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe want to pay the minimum wage. Where we disagree with the labour is consequential adjustment that they are asking for. It will mean we cannot do any other thing outside salary payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is a court injunction and as far as the government is concerned there is no strike. Everybody should report to work. We will work on how to improve facilities in our state as much as we will pay salary of our workers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Kwara workers begin strike despite court order","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"kwara-workers-begin-strike-despite-court-order","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-14 18:47:51","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-14 18:47:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=603","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":28},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};
The Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 said \u201cthe risks of reopening nightclubs and bars are still high hence, their continued ban.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The PTF National Coordinator, Sani Aliyu, said this during the PTF press briefing on Thursday in Abuja, while reacting to questions on the continued closure of nightclubs and bars, while other activities have been reopened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Aliyu said, \u201cI have nothing against nightclubs. I don\u2019t see anything wrong with people going to bars and nightclubs, but the nature of the environment is an enclosed space, there are no windows, people are standing very close to each other. We are yet to have a mask that people can drink through without taking it off. So you are at a great risk of transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGlobally, when the number starts surging look at the news, the first thing they say is that bars are closed. So that is why we are being careful, the national response that we have had in this country has been calibrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have looked at every single risk. Every decision taken has not been easy, there are negotiations, arguments and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut bars and nightclubs remain closed for very good reasons. At a point in time that we are very confident that we are at the right time to relax further, we will open up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, for those who love nightclubs, please be a bit patient with us and be hopeful that things will get back to normal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Chairman of the PTF, Boss Mustapha, responding to the same question, said: \u201cWe have nothing against nightclubs, bars, lounges but you know the nature of those places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor obvious reasons, they are constructed in such a manner for effectiveness of either the lighting or the music. So it is always very compact. And the beauty about it is that you must be dancing and jumping shoulder to shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"That is the most dangerous place to be without a face mask. Like Dr Sani said, we have not gotten to a point where you have created mask with false enclosure so that you can drink without taking off your mask or you can share in entertainment without making noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are not opposed to the leisure and entertainment industry, we want to get to this new normal as quickly as possible so that we can return to our ordinary ways of life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are indications that the likelihood of vaccine coming in the next six months has become questionable hence, the need to take steps to ensure the processes of community transmission are limited.<\/p>\n","post_title":"COVID-19: Risk of reopening night clubs, bars, still too high \u2013 PTF","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"covid-19-risk-of-reopening-night-clubs-bars-still-too-high-ptf","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-16 10:21:03","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-16 10:21:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=637","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":621,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2020-10-15 11:23:18","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-15 11:23:18","post_content":"\n
