On her way she met a copy. The copy warned the Little Blind Text, that where it came from it would have been rewritten a thousand times and everything that was left from its origin would be the word “and” and the Little Blind Text should turn around and return to its own, safe country.

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.

But nothing the copy said could convince her and so it didn’t take long until a few insidious Copy Writers ambushed her, made her drunk with Longe and Parole and dragged her into their agency, where they abused her for their projects again and again. And if she hasn’t been rewritten, then they are still using her.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table – Samsa was a travelling salesman – and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.

Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. “How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense”, he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn’t get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was.

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.

Uba Sani: Least Paid Worker In Kaduna Earns N72,000

Published

on

Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, says no worker in the state earns less than N70,000 as salary in compliance with the new minimum wage.

Sani spoke on Thursday at Murtala Square in Kaduna on occasion the Workers’ Day celebration.

The governor said the least paid worker in the state earns N72,000, noting that he believes in the dignity of labour, adding that the issue of incremental adjustment of salaries would be addressed soon.

“I have been involved in the struggle for labour rights, workers’ rights. That is my antecedent. Because of my background, I sat down with the leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC),” Sani said.

“I made it clear to them that though we have met the minimum wage requirement but there is something called incremental adjustment which is discretionary.

“Because of my relationship with both NLC and TUC, I asked them that we should sit down and come up with a formular that will make every worker in Kaduna state happy, irrespective of his or her status and they came up with three different options.

“Today, I want to reaffirm to all of you here that by the grace of God, we will look at the incremental adjustment and ensure that even senior civil servants will benefit because we have to make our workers happy.’’

The governor added that his administration also prioritises improving the living conditions of pensioners.

He said the state government has released N3.8 billion to settle outstanding gratuities, death benefits, and accrued rights under the contributory pension scheme in April.

“Since the inception of our administration, we have cumulatively paid the sum of N10.4 billion in gratuity, death benefits, and accrued rights in the Contributory Pension Scheme,” Sani said.

The governor said the payment of such a huge sum to pensioners is “unprecedented.”

Commenting on the ongoing industrial action by the Kaduna State University branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Sani said his administration has done everything to reposition the school.

According to him, more than 60 percent of the courses were not accredited when he assumed office, but his administration spent over N300 million to secure National Universities Commission (NUC) accreditation.

The governor said the striking lecturers’ demands had accumulated over 17 years, with about three of his predecessors unable to settle the liabilities, which now total between N5 billion and N6 billion.

“In spite of this, the lecturers want us to settle these liabilities now, and I said no. I said that we have to sit down and have a dialogue. I then asked them, where were their voices in the last 17 years?” he said.

He promised that the problem would be addressed owing to the importance of education, which he described as the “greatest leveller”.

PETROAN Asks FG To Prioritise Welfare Of Oil, Gas Workers

Published

on

The Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) has asked the government to prioritise the welfare of oil workers, given the hazardous nature of their work.

In a statement on Thursday, Billy Gillis-Harry, PETROAN’s president, hailed oil and gas workers across the country on Workers’ Day.

According to Joseph Obele, PETROAN’s spokesperson, Gillis-Harry, while addressing journalists in Abuja, appealed to the government and stakeholders in the industry to improve welfare packages and expand health insurance for oil workers.

“Studies have shown that workers in areas where gas flaring is prevalent are at high risk of several health challenges, which can affect them physically, mentally and even increase cancer risks,” Gillis-Harry was quoted as saying.

The association said gas flaring remains a serious problem in Nigeria’s energy industry, exposing workers and nearby communities to harmful health and environmental effects.

The group said the impact of gas flaring highlights the urgent need for better health protection and general welfare for those working in the sector.

According to the statement, Gillis-Harry urged regulatory bodies to strictly enforce existing laws aimed at stopping gas flaring in the country.

“It’s imperative that we prioritise the health and well-being of our workers and protect the environment from the harmful effects of gas flaring,” the president said.

The spokesperson said PETROAN believes ending gas flaring would reduce its harmful impact on workers and host communities and help build a more responsible oil and gas industry.

Obele said PETROAN commended governors who have started paying the new minimum wage, especially those paying above the set rate.

“Billy Gillis-Harry called on governors who are yet to comply to do so in the shortest possible time, emphasising the need for workers to receive fair compensation for their labour,” he said.

He said the association also reaffirmed its commitment to collaborating with stakeholders to support oil and gas workers and ensure safe and healthy working environments.

Obele said PETROAN is of the view that better welfare and an end to gas flaring would boost productivity, reduce accidents, and raise performance across the industry.
