Ambode
Aggrieved teachers of Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED), Ijanikin, Lagos, have appealed to Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode to intervene in the planned cut in their salary by the state government through the management of the institution.
Therefore, one of the urgent challenges to be tackled by the Governing Council of  the institution is the protest by its employees over the proposed pay cut in salary.
At least 66 employees of AOCOED recently lodged complaint over an alleged plan by the institution’s management to place them on a new term that may reduce their salaries and allowances by half.
It will be recalled that on Wednesday,  Governor Ambode announced the appointments of new Members of Governing Councils for Lagos     State tertiary institutions.
Ambode, in a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Tunji Bello, named Prof. Tunde Samuel as Chairman of the Governing Council of the institution, while members include Dr. Rafiat Olufunmilayo Olatunji, Mrs. Iyabo Osifeso and Alhaji Wasiu Aderibigbe Lawal.
The employees, who are mainly teachers of the AOCOED Staff School (nursery and primary) and AOCOED International School (secondary), contended that the move by the school management is a breach of their status as employees of the institution and Lagos State Civil Service.
It was gathered that the teachers were originally employed as venture staff by either AOCOED Staff School or AOCOED International School. They are still staff of both schools.

His death may have compounded the  uncertainty surrounding the selection process of the new Ooni of Ife which has resulted in litigations. However informed sources told  Vanguard  yesterday that; ‘’He had concluded the process of selection of the new Ooni before he died.’’ Oba Omisakin’s death is coming barely three months after the death of Oba Okunade Sijuwade in a London hospital. The Obalufe is also the prime minister of Ife and oversees affairs in the town in the absence of an Ooni. Vanguard  gathered that Oba Omisakin’s death occurred at about 10 am yesterday   at Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital OAUTH, Ile Ife.

By Edward Jaleyemi DEPARTMENT of State Services (DSS) weekend, in Lagos, commissioned 385 cadet officers in a bid to combat the rising security challenges in the country. The 385 officers were the lucky ones that successfully went through 10 months of rigorous professional, academic and physical training and were certified fit to serve the nation in their capacity as members of DSS, out of the 459 cadet officers that started the training late last year. The officers were commissioned amidst promises by the DSS to COLLABORATE  more with other sister security agencies in its fight against insecurity and to ensure that recruitment into the Service was merit-based in keeping with its extant guidelines. Speaking at the passing out parade at the State Service Academy (SSA), Lagos State, the Director General, SS, Mr. Lawal Daura, said gone were the days when misfits or non-eligible candidates found their way into the Service. “The aim is to ensure that only the right calibers...
