Rivers Lawmakers Open Another Front In Fight With Fubara Over LG Promotion – Lifestyle Nigeria

The Committee on Judiciary, Public Service Matters, Public Petitions, and Conflict Resolution of the Cross River State House of Assembly has called for the dissolution of the State Civil Service Commission due to large-scale misconduct.

The report also uncovered how the commission promoted an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) staff from Grade Level 5 to 15 after only five years in service.

Presenting the report, the Chairman of the Committee and member representing Abi State Constituency, Davies Etta, informed the Assembly that although the Commission had the Governor’s approval to carry out promotions, it did not follow the required procedures in some cases.

The lawmaker added that the Commission failed in its advisory role as a body that is supposed to uphold the Public/Civil Service Rules. The lawmakers expressed disappointment over the conduct of the Civil Service Commission.

However, the Assembly wants the Governor to consider Commissioners 1 and 3, namely, Mr. Martin Usibe and Chief Ita Onoyom Ette, respectively, for reappointment into the Commission when it is reconstituted, having been absolved of any breach of conduct from their investigations.

The House also recommended that the next commission continue with the promotions of civil servants as earlier approved by the state governor based on the existing promotion protocols to avoid disrepute to the commission.

Speaker of the Assembly, Elvert Ayambem, said the Commission acted wrongly in the discharge of its duty. Governor Otu, in a letter dated March 13, 2024, sought the power of the House to remove the Chairman and members of the civil service commission.

Why I Was Against My Son Playing Chess – Record-Breaker, Tunde Onakoya’s Dad Recounts (Update)

Lifestyle Nigeria gathered that Pa Onakoya, the father of Nigerian chess master, Tunde Onakoya, has revealed that he wasn’t initially in support of his son playing chess.

He admitted that when Tunde was a child, he used to disrupt his chess games to make him focus on his education.

The proud father disclosed this in a sideline interview with City Edge TV when he joined his wife and many others at Lagos airport on Wednesday, to give the Guinness World Record-breaker a heroic welcome.

He said, “To me, Babatunde Onakoya is an angel because whatever he set his mind on you must succeed.

“As a small child, when Tunde was playing chess, I usually packed everything away from him because I wanted him to focus on school. I didn’t know that it was what would made him popular like this.

“My advice for parents is that they shouldn’t to discourage their children from their passions. I wanted Tunde to be a doctor but I didn’t know that chess would make him popular like this. I thank God.”
