An elected Ogun Governor has never unleashed terror on students – LP carpets Amosun By Wale Odunsi on August 16, 2014 @dailypostngr The Labour Party, LP, in Ogun on Friday, said its attention has been drawn to the ongoing attacks on the students of Ogun State, who were protesting the bad policies of the government in the educational sector, particularly in the state-owned higher institutions.

Figures released by Head of WAEC National office in Lagos, Mr. Charles Eguridu, showed that only 529,425 candidates out of 1,692,435, representing 31.28 percent, obtained credits in five subjects and above including English Language and Mathematics, in the exami

buy acomplia online On Paternity Leave In Lagos State Sunday, 17 August 2014 00:00 Written by EDITOR LAGOS State Government’s new policy of granting male civil servants paternity leave like their female counterparts may seem strange to the Nigerian culture, even run against the general run of play, it is quite commendable and deserves the understanding of all who care about family. There is no denying the fact that many young mothers endure more than a fair share of hardship after childbirth as a result of lack of a helping hand.    It is, therefore, not out of place to grant their husbands leave to lend a helping hand, especially, in the first few days after child delivery.   Maternity leave is automatically granted to allow women recuperate and have some time to give adequate nursing care to the newborn baby.
