Zulum directs urban board to immediately unseal NNPP’s office, calls its wrong timing

Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum on Friday directed the Borno State Urban Development Board to immediately unseal Maiduguri headquarters of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, describing the board’s decision as “wrong timing”.

Zulum’s spokesman, Malam Isa Gusau, confirmed in a statement issued on Friday, that the Governor became aware of the board’s action and has directed that it should be reversed saying, “no matter the justification, the timing is wrong”.

Below is the statement issued by Governor Zulum’s spokesman:

“The good people of Borno State are well aware that in the last three years, the Borno State Urban Development Board has been carrying out series of reforms which included sealing of some buildings operated by individuals, corporate bodies like Banks and even some government institutions which issues contravened laws relating to non compliance with Maiduguri’s town planning procedures.

The Governor became aware that the board sealed an office operated by the NNPP.

Although the board claimed to have acted in the same regard in acted against other offices, by sealing the NNPP’s headquarters for wrongful conversion of residential area for office purpose, Governor Zulum regards the board’s action as that of wrong timing.

Zulum believes that no matter the justification, the board’s decision is bound to be given political interpretation and which could heat up the polity and cause needless distractions.

For that reason, Governor Zulum had already directed that the board should suspend its own rule on this particular instance bordering on the NNPP.

The Governor believes that reversing the decision is in the overall public interest for peace.

Governor Zulum believes that all political parties should be free to lawfully operate and citizens should be free to associate with political parties of their choices without hindrances.

Zulum also advised authorities dealing with issues that could involve political parties to consider the need to invite stakeholders of all existing parties for consultations and to jointly agree on conducts that should align with existing state laws and without undermining the freedom and independence of all political parties to operate in Borno State”

Our successes in Lagos, Borno show we'll hit the ground running immediately, Shettima says at NBA conference

Nigerians should be sure of getting experienced leaders who will hit the ground running immediately from 29 May 2023, vice-presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress Kashim Shettima has said.

Shettima said this while representing the party’s presidential flagbearer Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Annual General Meeting of the Nigeria Bar Association in Lagos on Monday.

According to a statement by the Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council Bayo Onanuga, the achievements of the party in Lagos, Borno and other states will be replicated across the country by Tinubu and Shettima.

The former Borno State governor said despite the war situation in the North East, his time in charge witnessed a tremendous improvement in education in the state.

He said: “Nigerians have the capability to see through the worn-out rhetoric and sophistry of pretentious politicians.”

“Nigerians should follow the man who knows the road. From day one, we will hit the ground running. We’ll promptly address the issue of the economy, ecology, and security.

“And we have the antecedents. I built some of the best schools in Nigeria. Go to Borno and see wonders; you will never believe that it is a state in a state of war.

“So, we are going to replicate our achievements in Lagos, in Borno and some of the frontline states so that our nation will be a better place.

“The fundamental issue is pure leadership,” he said.

Zulum to Borno NLC: Days back, I approved minimum wage for 5, 439 LEA teachers

… Unqualified teachers back to get trained

… State workers on minimum wage since 2020

Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, on Wednesday confirmed to leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, that he had days back, approved the payment of N30,000 minimum wage to 5, 439 teachers of the Local Education Authority, LEA, who passed competency test.

Zulum spoke when labour officials led by the NLC Chairman in Borno State, Comrade Yusuf Inuwa, paid him a visit, during which the labour official thanked the Governor for his commitment to welfare of workers and also called his attention to other areas that include payments of promotion benefits.

The 5,439 teachers at local government levels were those who passed basic literacy and numeracy tests conducted by a committee which Zulum constituted in 2021.

The committee assessed 17,229 LEA teachers across Borno’s 27 local government areas from which a total of 11, 790 representing 69% of the entire LEA teachers were found unqualified to teach.

Amongst them, 2,389 teachers had no academic qualification whatsoever, not even secondary school certificates while 3,815 of the teachers were found to be untrainable.

Governor Zulum had immediately after receiving the assessment committee’s report in February 2022, directed that payment of N30,000 minimum wage be applied to the teachers who passed the test.

Zulum had on October 26, 2021, raised alarm that some primary school teachers were receiving scandalous salaries that were less than N10,000 but to change the situation, he needed to address the problems of ghost teachers at the LEA levels, the same way was done at the state levels.

Zulum’s assessment led to identifying 11,790 unqualified teachers in Borno’s education system but even then, the governor directed that no civil servant was going to be sacked, rather some were going to be retrained and others reassigned to other sectors outside education.

… Unqualified teachers to go on training

At yesterday’s meeting with NLC leaders, Zulum reaffirmed his compassionate position not to sack unqualified teachers.

The governor told the NLC that since the assessment committee had found that out of 11, 790 unqualified teachers, there are 7,975 teachers representing 46.3% who are trainable, the state will soon support a first batch of 1,000 to further their education through a special in-service facility that would enable the teachers to go back to tertiary schools as full time students while getting their monthly salaries.

Zulum said however, that the 7,975 unqualified teachers would only be enlisted for minimum wage after completing their education and becoming qualified to teach.

… State workers been on minimum wage since 2020
Our correspondent reports that since January 2020, all civil servants at the state level including teachers of secondary schools, began to enjoy a national minimum wage of N30,000.

The NLC leadership at that time, announced in the media that Zulum was amongst the first three Governors to implement the minimum wage.

… Zulum gives directive on promotions

At yesterday’s meeting with NLC’s leadership, Governor Zulum directed the submission of a comprehensive lists of all existing vacancies and eligible civil servants preparatory to a promotional exam to be held.

Zulum promised to look into all other issues raised by the labour leaders and also promised to work with chairmen towards engaging some consultants to manage the payroll systems of local government councils.

… NLC lauds Zulum on workers’ welfare

During Wednesday’s meeting, state chairman of the NLC, comrade Yusuf Inuwa appreciated Governor Zulum for his commitment to welfare of workers in the state.

Inuwa made special note of the governor’s payment of 2020 and 2021 leave grants to entitled workers, as well as constant payment of monthly salaries, pensions and significant progress made on gratuities.

The NLC however appealed to the the state government on outstanding issues that include promotion arrears and arrears for re-verified local government staff and LEA teachers as well as minimum wage for local government and LEA staff.

17/08/2022

Gov Zulum has approved minimum wage for qualified teachers effective from 1st August 2022.

He also said with 2022 payments done, the state government was focusing on 2023 exams and for that the state government appealed to WAEC to consider extending the 2023 WASSCE to take places in eight (8) Local Government Areas, namely Damboa, Gwoza, Ngala, Dikwa, Mafa, Monguno, Gubio and Mobbar.

He noted that male and female students from the listed LGAs face serious challenges of being forced to relocate to Boarding Schools in Maiduguri for at least three (3) Months.

We are already in Chibok, Gwoza, Konduga and Kaga LGAs, the WAEC official said.
