PRESS RELEASE

Ondo ANRP reacts to NLC clamour for N66,500 minimum wage for all workers.

AKURE, 3 May 2018- Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP), Ondo State Chapter  affirms her support for the clamour for a new nationwide minimum wage of N66,500 by the organised labour. We equally affirm that an N18,000- minimum wage since 2011 is long overdue for an upward review.

Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP) believes that one of the core roots of corruption and disenchantment in the Nigeria Civil Service is the disparity in income which has bred inefficiency and a culture of 'wait for your turn'. This means that workers live on paltry sums until they attain privileged positions- by transfer or promotion- and then proceed to take their pound of flesh from the nation, with vengeance.

The argument against an upward review of minimum wage range from inflation, low oil prices and inability of many state governments to pay.
However, we must also consider that virtually every state in Nigeria has legislated huge pension and health packages for ex-governors, some of whom are currently serving in the Senate or as Ministers and still enjoying the perks of office. So why shouldn't the average Nigerian worker get a meaningful remuneration package? What is good for the goose is equally good for the gander.

Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP) insists that government should be wary of the consequences of an underpaid and disgruntled workforce by working out a better model of revenue generation and cut off excesses to free up funds for better emoluments for the nation's workforce.

Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP) is fundamentally committed to reforming and repositioning the public service for efficiency and effectiveness to match any of their peers around the world. This can only be possible with a fully motivated civil service.

ENCOURAGEMENT The world has enough critics already, be an encourager. Encouragement is something or words that makes someone more hopeful, determined or confident to take certain steps. Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, needs only a bit of praise or encouragement ~and we will make the goal.  There comes that certain time when you really need to calm down and think of all the steps you've taken, and the ones you are about to take, and then you come to realise that it's so easy to propose on something you want, you imagine it, and you see it coming through as expected, you strategize your plans and set your targets, these you do mostly at the commencement of a new season or year (just like this time), deep inside of you, you list out things you want, and those you don't want, along side things you will start doing and those you will stop doing, these things are your priority in the early days of the year, they keep ringing

THE MAN CALLED GARRI (Things you don't know about Garri)

Garri, is processed cassava tubers, and has become a much wanted staple food in Nigeria. Once considered to be food for the poor, garri is gradually slipping out of the reach of ordinary Nigerians who sometimes cannot do without helping themselves to a plate of eba (or garri flour mixed in hot water) or its soaked version every day. Someone once shared with me that the businesses that will continue as long as human civilisation remains are those businesses that meet the basic needs of man, i.e. food, clothing, health, and shelter. There is a great sense in this. This is because as long as we are alive, we would require good and quality food, good clothing, good shelter and good health to lead an acceptable level of existence. Nigerian communities must begin to look at developing businesses that can address these basic needs. This is why garri processing plant is one great business opportunity that fits this mould. The industrial processing of cassava in Nigeria holds much potentia

THE MISTAKE OF THE CHURCH (Adebowale Ibukun Tosin)

-
Evidently, several youths are tired of church. The old conservative approach void of serious bible study and training in prayer is too weak to keep them in church. While the sermon is on, many are either on twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Whatsapp, just chatting away their time. Quite interesting is how some of these young folks attend church only because their parents have made it compulsory. Left to many of them, they would easily boycott church and just have fun by hanging out with their friends or be watching movies at home. So, here's the simple logic... The church doesn't want to lose these guys. They are vibrant, youthful, energetic, and smart. As a matter of fact, it's widely believed that the future of any organisation, nation, even church depends on the youths. So, in a bid to not lose them, many churches would give them what they want. No matter what it takes! I've seen youth vigils that were nothing more than clubs in the name of praise night. All mann
