The Southern Youth For Sustainable Development Hails Governor Udom saying he has the interest of youths at heart.

The southern youth for sustainable development through its spokesman Edward Emosa commended the Akwa Ibom state Governor for lending his voice in the stalemate between ASUU and the federal government. Emosa said ” so many politicians at this material time are more concerned about getting tickets and winning the primaries but Governor Udom amidst all, has still lent his voice to end the strike that has hampered the growth of Nigerian Students,

we the youths are the major stakeholders in the present political dispensation and our votes will surely decide who will be the next president, and I don’t see how that will be achieved when most of the youths are at home because of our government’s ineptness.

The spokesman further urged youths to support Gov Udom in his quest of being the next president.

He said at this material time, the delegates are responsible for the outcome of the primaries and they should be considerate in their selection, while we await the results of the forthcoming primaries SYDP are pledging their full support for Governor Udom Emmanuel.

Etukudoh is hellbent on destroying my future, staff of FSMLST Jos laments

A Senior Lecturer with the Federal School of Medical Laboratory Science Technology (FSMLST) Jos, Dr. Sunday Bot has alleged the Provost of the School Dr. Sunday Etukudoh was hell bent on destroying his future.

A statement made available to news men in Jos by Dr. Bot stated that he had no choice than to come public and clarify certain issues concerning his personality which he alleged were orchestrated by the Provost that trended in the media two weeks ago.

The statement reads in parts, “My attention has been drawn to media publications obviously orchestrated by the Provost, Federal School of Medical Laboratory Science Technology (FSMLST), Dr. Sunday Etukudoh.

“Ordinarily, I wouldn’t have even contemplated joining issues with the Provost, more so that I am already in court seeking redress on most of the issues. However, I am compelled to respond taking into cognizance the fact that the said publication is spurious, misplaced and malicious aimed at misleading the public”.

“To exhibit his motive, intent and spirit behind the malicious machinations, the Provost raised issues and informed the world of my purported retirement from the School in Public Interest, alleged non recognition of my M. Sc in Medical Laboratory Science and impersonation”.

On the issue of retirement from the School in Public Interest, Bot said the above existed only in the figment of imagination of the Provost as he was not in receipt of any communication to that effect.

“All I know is that when I got fed up with acts of victimization against me by the Provost, I tendered my letter of voluntary resignation on October 06, 2021 containing a month notice which expired on November 05, 2021.

“The said letter was received and acknowledged by both the FSMLST Jos and Federal Ministry of Health Abuja. Consequently, my resignation from the school is with effect from November 05, 2021. However, I was told that there is a dismissal letter addressed to me dated October 05, 2021. If this is true, then the letter is backdated probably after an after-though on reasons best known to the author of the said letter.
“Reason being that if I was actually dismissed on the said date, why received and acknowledged my letter of voluntary resignation without serving me with the purported letter even on the said day I tendered my resignation letter”, he asked rhethorically.

On the issue of being under investigation with one, Joshua Boyi by the ICPC. Bot noted that the Provost once set up and Chaired a kangaroo Committee in which he was the accuser, the prosecutor and the jurist. He said when it was obvious he wouldn’t achieved what he wanted through the Committee, he sent him on suspension.
“I remember vividly we were invited to ICPC office Bauchi immediately I returned to office from the suspension.

“The issue is this; I and others resumed work in the school in 2012, following Advertisment in the Leadership Newspaper of February 14, 2012. But in the course of documentation, the Provost change my appointment letter three different times to achieve his evil plan against me.

“The first appointment letter was reading 2011. The second one was reading February, implying that I was employed even before the Advertisement for vacancy in the Leadership Newspaper of February 14, 2012. The third letter is the one the Provost insisted I must used and it was adopted.

“Taking the above into account, it’s obvious that the Provost has administrative issues or it was probably a deliberate distortion of records for his personal interest.
“It is instructive to bring to your notice that the main reason we were invited to ICPC was on account of monies posted to our bank accounts which were later withdrew and handed over to the Provost cash.

“The committee I earlier talked about of which the Provost chaired exoneroted Boyi because (according to the Provost), he was remorseful while I wasn’t, simply because of stating the truth based on circumstantial evidence on illegal acts perpetrated by the Provost”, he said.

On non recognition of his Master in Med. Laboratory Science from Ambrose Alli University, Dr. Bot said it was the same qualification in question that he presented. It was thoroughly scrutinized during the interview and thereafter, eventually got employed. He added that it was the same qualification that earned him promotion in 2016 by the same Provost and wondered if his employment and promotion in the school were all done in error.

On issue of impersonation, Dr. Bot said he was not willing to talk much on it because according to him, it was a legal issue. According to Bot, “I have never been convicted by any court of competent jurisdiction for impersonation except Etukudoh’s court.

“It is however unfortunate that people constitute themselves unto the law. As said earlier, I have decided to come to public with few explanation for purpose of clarity. However, I am already in court seeking redress on abysmal issues bordering on victimization”, Dr. Bot said.

2023 Guber Discuss: Chief Akuns details his Agenda at Restoring The Dignity of Human life for Plateau Citizens 

2023 Guber Discuss: Chief Akuns details his Agenda at Restoring The Dignity of Human life for Plateau Citizens 

Chief Jonathan Sunday Akuns has said that his sights are set on restoring the dignity of human life by reviving the peace and prosperity of Plateau state come 2023.

Chief Akuns popularly known as ‘The Galadiman Dafo’ who is one of the gubernatorial aspirants in Plateau State under the umbrella of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) disclosed this during an online discussion “Meet Your Guber Aspirant” by the Plateau Bloggers and Online Media Association, PLABOMA.

He stated that one of his Mission is to focus on Rule of law for nation-building where he can optimize the efficiency and effectiveness to safeguard occupational traders, delink and de-escalate violent, crimes. He said as an economist and business-oriented individual, he also sees livestock as an opportunity for the state to key into for commercial purposes. He pointed out that livestock breeding as an occupational trade competes for the utilization of Land with crop farming for certain residents of Plateau.

Chief Akuns also want to focus on security, economic empowerment and education. He stated that the welfare purity of citizens, when we talk in terms of security, one will realize that in Plateau for the past 20years or so, the major source of insecurity and loss of lives and properties seems to emanate from livestock breeding. In other to deal with such is by creating an incentive framework that takes people away from pursuing crime.

He further disclosed that we could choose to replicate poultry farming practices in livestock breeding and hold awareness, and discussions with critical stakeholders to understand the need to domesticate every single species of livestock.

Focusing on security, economic empowerment, and education, he believes that they will sustain the vision of reviving peace and prosperity of the state and once peace and prosperity are revived, the dignity of human life will be restored as well.

Considering the 3 Factors of production Land, Labour and Capital, Chief Akuns elaborated that land doesn’t expand even as the population increases, as Modern production as the exchange of goods and services becomes more sophisticated because of the advancement in science and technology. The tendency is for each corporate trader to seek to optimize production since land is the only resource that needs to be utilized for occupational trade.

By implementing The rule of law, Chief Akuns narrates that when a crime is committed along the path of achieving production or exchange of goods and services, the crime will be apprehended to face justice but the current practice is one in which one law serves all. So it gives room for certain occupational traders to get away with the crime because there is no limiting defining law to engage and prosecute them.
