Nigerian Gov directs all LG chairmen to sign attendance register 4 times daily

Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum has asked local government chairmen to remain in their respective zones.

The governor instructed them to sign attendance registers four times a day to certify their presence at their assigned posts.

Zulum made the command on Monday in Maiduguri, the state capital, while presiding over the swearing-in ceremony for 27 elected council chairmen.

The governor directed the Ministry for Local Government to immediately deploy biometric data capturing machines to the local government areas for their chairmen to thumbprint daily at 8 a.m., noon, 2 p.m. and 3.30 p.m.

He said the measure became necessary to check absenteeism or absconding from work by any chairman without genuine reason.

Zulum noted that “abscondment remains an impeachment offence”.

He added: “We have advised chairmen, times without number, but the advice has not been adhered to strictly.

Okene Crash: FRSC Emergency Operators Rescue Road Traffic Victims

Emergency rescue teams of the Federal Road Safety Corps endured another over 3 hours of inferno in their bid to rescue road traffic victims at the scene of a fatal crash that claimed 19 lives on Sunday 28 April, 2024 at Okene bypass, on the Okene-Lokoja highway in Kogi State.

Lifestyle Nigeria reports that Assistant Corps Marshal, Corps Public Education Officer, FRSC Headquarters, Abuja, Jonas Agwu, disclosed this in a statement.

The statement read in part, “The FRSC emergency rescue teams deployed to rescue the victims could not achieve desired results as the efforts they put into the rescue operations was unduly hindered by the fire inferno that engulfed the two vehicles.

You would recall that the Corps Marshal had during his press conference on Thursday last week drawn the attention of road users to issues of imbibing moral and ethical rebirth, which have become a major issue in the country.

He warned against traffic violations citing instances where they resulted in avoidable crashes with fire outbreak, leading to wanton loss of precious lives and destruction to properties.

As a result of that he had earlier emphasised on the need for maximum penalty for these drivers. Dauda Biu reaffirmed the resolution of the Corps to continue its ongoing prosecution of drivers who by their actions cause road traffic crashes in Nigeria, noting that the driver of the truck involved in the Okene crash will not be an exception.

As such, he called on the Judiciary, leadership of transport unions and other relevant stakeholders in the road transportation sector to join hands with the Corps towards restoring sanity through speedy and effective prosecution.
