The Electricity Issue
- On 13/01/2024
- In Solomon's Column
Over 10 years after the privatization of the electricity sector in Nigeria, millions of Nigerians still remain without meters and regular electricity supply.
Indeed, the set objectives of the privatization are yet to be achieved, while the number of defects in the regulatory policy have been brought to the fore.
Infrastructural development in the sector remains a major issue, just as distribution and generation companies struggle to impress electricity consumers.
The situation remains the same as a result of the unknown interest of government officials.

A True Reflection of the Leadership Mindset
- On 18/12/2023
- In Solomon's Column
The unfolding events in Rivers state is a reflection of the warped mindset of the leadership at the highest level of governance in Nigeria.Not surprisingly, mum is the word at this very important level of government. Why?
Those in leadership positions are yet to imbibe the tenets of democracy.
Indeed, a lot is wrong with the approach, template and structure of governance, even though deceit, lies, falsehood and depraved actions of those in government continue with impunity.

N35, 000 Wage Award-Workers are only Relieved Psychologically-Member NASU NEC
- On 18/10/2023
- In News
The N35, 000 wage award recently announced by the Federal Government has only relieved workers in Nigeria psychologically and not economically.
This assertion was made by a member of the National Executive Council(NEC) of the Non-Academic Staff Union and Associated Institutions(NASU), who is also the branch chairman of the union at the University College Hospital(UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria, Comrade Kehinde Abiona.
''The announcement has calmed frayed nerves, but the government is yet to pay as at now. The review of CONHESS/CONMESS effectual from June 1st has not been implemented. The government says it has no funds. However, because of the N35, 000 wage award, workers were relieved psychologically, but economically the difficulties and hardships persist. We are yet to be paid the wage award because it did not reflect in our September salaries, Comrade Abiona stated.
In his view, a former Oyo state chairman of the NASU, Comrade Fatoki Olusola-Cole, insisted that the wage award was far below the expectations of workers, saying,'' the government says we should sacrifice, but the cost of governance is extremely high. The government has pushed Nigerians into the dungeons of poverty.''
''N35, 000 is grossly inadequate to cater for the needs of workers. We are suffering, workers accepted the award, hoping that it will go higher,'' Comrade Olusola-Cole stressed.

Awake to the Reality of the the Times
- On 03/10/2023
- In Solomon's Column
Desperation to continue the status quo- a period during which Nigerians have over the years been deceived into perpetual political, economic and social bondage-informs the insensitivity of the leadership[ at all levels of government.
To this extent, confusion, disagreement and rancor now characterize the relationship between the leadership, their cronies, proteges and fronts.
Interestingly, millions of Nigerians have eventually woken up from their deep slumber and are now anxious to know what befell them.
