TINUBU BACK TO NIGERIA

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu returns to Abuja on today following an official visit to China and a brief stay in the United Kingdom.

The President’s special adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, made the announcement on Saturday night.

During his trip, President Tinubu visited Beijing, China, where he held high-level meetings with Chinese leaders, including President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang. The visit resulted in the signing of five Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) between Nigeria and China, aimed at strengthening bilateral relations and cooperation in various fields.

The MOUs signed include a Cooperation Plan to jointly promote the Belt and Road Initiative, cooperation in the peaceful application of nuclear energy, and strengthening cooperation on human resource development under the Global Development Initiative. Other agreements include a Memorandum of Understanding on Media Exchange and Cooperation and a Memorandum of Understanding between China Media Group and the Nigerian Television Authority.

In addition, Nigeria signed a Memorandum of Understanding with China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) to build the 68 km Lagos Green rail line, designed to run from the Lekki Free Zone to the Marina and connect with the Blue Line. A memorandum of understanding for the $1 billion iron ore-to-steel project planned for Kogi State was also signed.

President Tinubu also attended the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Summit in Beijing, where he delivered a paper on global peace, stressing multilateralism and cooperation as essential ingredients for international peace. He also met with representatives of Nigerians in the Diaspora Organisation, China chapter, and discussed the reforms being implemented by his government in Nigeria.

Before departing China, President Tinubu visited two Chinese companies: Huawei and China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC). He then travelled to London, where he met with King Charles III to discuss issues related to climate change and action.

    LAGOS ORDERS EVACUATION OF POLICE BARRACKS OVER IMMINENT COLLAPSE

    LAGOS ORDERS EVACUATION OF POLICE BARRACKS OVER IMMINENT COLLAPSE Lagos State Government has raised the alarm over an imminent building collapse at Mopol 20 Barracks, Onigbongbo in the Ikeja area of the state. This is as the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency is set to begin an emergency evacuation at the old block 3 section of the barracks. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Permanent Secretary of LASEMA, Damilola Oke-Osanyintolu, said its response team had assessed some parts of the structure and found them to be in a precarious condition. Oke-Osanyintolu stated the building and adjacent structures would also be evacuated immediately to prevent any loss of life or property. “The Agency dispatched a response team to the location and the findings indicate that the building and those adjacent must be evacuated with immediate effect. We are conducting a response plan which comprises an assessment, safe and orderly evacuation and controlled demolition “Under the watchful eye of the Babajide Olusola Sanwoolu administration, we will be carrying out this preemptive demolition action due to the precarious conditions of the building and possible secondary incidents that could occur if left unmanaged,” the statement partly read. He, however, urged members of the public within the vicinity to remain calm and refrain from spreading misinformation on social media. He also assured that the situation was being closely monitored and managed. The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement in July, disclosed that the police were carrying out a comprehensive renovation of some police barracks in the state. He noted that the renovation would be carried out in partnership with the state government.

    MINIMUM WAGE: PRIVATE EMPLOYERS PAYING LESS THAN N70,000 RISK JAIL – PERM SEC

    MINIMUM WAGE: PRIVATE EMPLOYERS PAYING LESS THAN N70,000 RISK JAIL – PERM SEC The Federal Government has called on agencies recruiting for the private sector to adhere to the N70,000 minimum wage, warning that any deviation would not be tolerated. According to the FG, the new minimum wage is necessary to address the current economic reality, emphasising that no Nigerian worker, whether in government or private employment, should be paid less than the minimum wage. The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment, Kachollom Daju, stated this on Wednesday while speaking at the 13th Annual General Meeting of the Employers Association for Private Employment Agencies of Nigeria, held in Ikeja, Lagos. Daju, who was represented by the Director of Employment and Wages of the ministry, John Nyamali, said, “The minimum wage is now a law, and as a result, it is a punishable crime for any employer to pay less than N70,000 to any of its workers. “The private employment agencies should make it compulsory in any contract they take from their principal that their workers should not earn less than the minimum wage. The least paid worker in Nigeria should earn N70,000, and I think that should be after all deductions. “The minimum wage is a law, and you can be jailed if you fail to implement it. The Federal Government is committed to ensuring that the least paid worker goes home with N70,000.” In his remarks, the President of the Employers Association for Private Employment Agencies of Nigeria, Dr. Olufemi Ogunlowo, asked the government and Nigeria Labour Congress to clarify whether the N70,000 minimum wage is net or gross, stating that all ambiguities in the Act should be highlighted and explained. According to Okoye, the EAPEAN is already committed to the minimum wage, as well as providing decent jobs for Nigerians and guarding against the exploitation of human resources. “As a labour union in the private sector, we are committed to the implementation of the minimum wage. We are a law-abiding and guided association. Our principals and clients have also keyed into the minimum wage. “However, the government must clarify whether the N70,000 minimum wage is net or gross. The government and NLC should address all ambiguities in the minimum wage,” he stated. Speaking at the programme, the Chairperson of the NLC, Lagos State chapter, Funmilayo Sessi, said the prevailing hardship had made a mess of whatever income any worker was earning in Nigeria, calling on private employers to ensure the payment of the N70,000 minimum wage. She said: “The N70,000 isn’t enough in the current economic realities. By the time the consequential adjustment is concluded, all private employment agencies should immediately start paying their workers the N70,000 minimum wage. “The NLC in Lagos State will see to the strict enforcement of the minimum wage. EAPEAN should avoid confrontation with the NLC on the minimum wage.”
