Yesterday @RealMallamSaliu attended the Grand Finale of the 2nd Edition of the Inter Secondary School Competition, sponsored by Saliu Mustapha Foundation.
The annual competition, designed to promote academic excellence, featured 60 students from 30 schools across the 3 senatorial district of Kwara State. #DoingItDifferently
Finalists emerging from the 2-week competition received various cash prizes. Eligible finalists will also be recipients of free WAEC, NECO, and JAMB forms. #DoingItDifferently
The political campaigns are in top gear. One of such things that will be prevalent in this period is the spread of misinformation/disinformation to discredit each other with attendant implications to cause mischief and chaos in our dear land, Nigeria.
We therefore say #NoToDisinformation. A recent occurrence is the distortion of facts as seen with the Aisha Buhari’s picture, where the logo she painted on her palms was interpreted as codedly telling Nigerians that AC Presidential Candidate is 88 years old. #NoToDisinformation
she painted the logo of the APC Presidential Candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu on her palms during the flag-off campaign for women and youths in Kwara State. #NoToDisinformation
1). So many Nigerians have stacked Naira notes in their closets and are cut up with this policy of the CBN. There is a rush by ignorant Nigerians to convert their Naira to Dollars.
Naira is at all time low against dollar and it's going to go even lower. For example a man converts #10m to 12,500 USD at the current exchange rate. #CBNNewNaira
It's easier to keep it with himself than to deposit in a Domiciliary account with a DMB because of the stringent policies around FX cash deposits. #CBNNewNaira
1)Claim that : Nigeria's poverty grows 6% per minute. (2018 presidential debate)
Fact checked by The ICIR; The claim is false and outrageous. if we follow the trajectory of Nigeria's poverty growing 6% every minute, it means by the 14th minute,
205 million people would be poor and by the 28th minute 410m Nigerians majority of them not yet born would be poor.
One of the primary cause of disagreement between ASUU and @GovNigeria on IPPIS is that of sabbaticals. The agreement allows for a lecturer to have only one sabbatical at a singular University. This can be either as a visiting lecturer or on a sabbatical. #ASUUWhy
This implies that a lecturer can not do his/her sabbatical in so many universities. what a lot of lecturers do is they go on Sabbatical while still enrolled in their primary University. They go on to 3 or 4 more universities or institutions in visiting capacity. #ASUUWhy
The way it works is that they get paid for every visit made to the other institutions, at the same time, making 100% of their gross from their primary institution. This costs the government money #ASUUWhy
Today, with uncertainties clouding crude oil revenue, the non-oil sector has become the alternative for economic survival – if those who know how to tap the revenue are saddled with the enormous responsibility.
The job of alternative revenue generation, especially in a Nigeria facing the clear and present danger of losing its primary revenue source to aggressive innovation in technology, is one that must be approached with all sense of seriousness, responsibility and expertise.
The issue of payslip on IPPIS and being unable to access payslips for years as complained about by some of the lecturers. IPPIS is an end-to-end payment system, the payslip is on the portal, it is already there. The log-in details are there with you. #ASUUWhy
If for one reason or the other, the portal cannot be accessed. You get a mail monthly, it is automated and you can use that to track as well. Other federal employees do not have issues with this. #ASUUWhy
The rumor that the IPPIS system is centralized in Abuja and that in some event, people have been left with no choice than to travel to Abuja.This is false.Every issue is solved locally.Even before IPPIS, payment issues at university levels were reffered to school bursar #ASUUWhy
