GOVERNOR OBOREVWORI MANDATES LOCAL COUNCILS ON IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW MINIMUM WAGE

-

The Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has directed the twenty-five Local Government Council Chairmen in the state to immediately implement the new minimum wage for workers in their respective councils.

Governor Oborevwori issued the directive on Tuesday during a meeting with the leadership of the Delta State chapters of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), and the National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE).

Also in attendance were the Auditor General (Local Government), the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), the Chief of Staff, the Commissioner for Local Government Affairs, the Chairman of the Local Government Service Commission, and the Accountant-General of the State.

The Governor acknowledged that, with the passing of the Local Government Autonomy Law, a considerable burden had been placed on the councils. However, he advised that they must implement the new minimum wage for their workers, effective November 2024.

He also reminded the Council Chairmen of the importance of full compliance with the procurement law in all procurements.

Additionally, he recommended organizing a retreat to educate relevant council officials on issues related to financial management, with active participation from the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

ALLEGED BRIBERY OF APPEAL COURT JUDGES IN DELTA JUDGMENT: A Disservice To The Rule of Law

-

Deltans have expressed deep concern over troubling allegations of bribery against judges of the Delta State Governorship Appeal Court, whose judgment was recently delivered in Lagos State. In a widely circulated leaked audio, Hon. Daniel Mayuku, a senior member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and a former three-time member of the State House of Assembly representing Warri South West constituency, can be heard making disturbing claims. Mayuku stated in the leaked audio that three days before the pronounced judgment of the Appeal court, the Delta State PDP knew that the judgment favoured Ovie Omo Agege based on facts and available evidence. They allegedly used financial inducement and blackmail to influence the change of the judgement in favour of the PDP governorship candidate, Sheriff Oborevwori, against the true picture of the case. Mayuku in the leaked audio claimed that the Court of Appeals is highly corrupt and expensive, and that the Appeal court is the only place they

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove
