MARINE BRIDGE IN APAPA SHUTDOWN FOR REPAIR WORK - LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT

Respite should come to the commuters and inhabitants of Apapa axis of the state as the Lagos State Government announced the closure of the Marine Bridge Road (Inward Ijora) to prepare for the commencement of repair works by the contractors of the Federal Ministry of Works. 

In a statement signed by the Commissioner for Transport, Dayo Mobereola, it stated that the emergency and immediate closure is to also allow the Federal Ministry carryout studies to determine the state of the Bridge and effect appropriate repairs.

The state Government has put in place effective traffic management strategies that will mitigate the impact of the closure. Accordingly, the following routes can be use by commuters as alternate route. They are:

1. Traffic coming from Wharf Base/Point Road should divert at service Lane (Marine Beach Road) by Leventis Junction to Link Lilly Pond by Dockyard and ascend Ijora Bridge to continue their journey. 
2. Motorists traveling to Ajegunle should take a left turn at the second junction under the Apapa Road Bridge to Marine Beach Junction inward Ajegunle or back to Ijora Bridge and continue their journey.

It was however made clear in the statement that the options are not to be used by heavy duty vehicles. The State Government implored National Union of Petroleum and Gas Workers (NUPENG) and its members to observe the reroute especially so as not to block the road when accessing the Tank Farms at Lilly Pond.

The State Government among other initiatives deployed various signages directing traffic appropriately. It is equally important to ask motorist to please obey personnel of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Nigeria Police and other Law Enforcement Agencies deployed to control and manage traffic in the area.

We hope that this ease the pains commuters face day-in-day-out.

FG TO PAY WORKERS N293bn FOR ALLOWANCES, BENEFITS, AND SO ON

Winifred Oyo-Ita, Head Civil Service

Some respite may be on the way for Federal Government Workers as the Federal Government is planning a phased method of clearing the backlogs. 

Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Winifred Ekanem Oyo-Ita has said that Government is exploring phased payments of Federal Civil Servants’ benefits, incurred through service wide staff claims, particularly those bothering on promotion arrears, first 28 days, repatriation allowance and death benefits, among others, which amounts to about N293bn.

Speaking at a press conference, held in her office in Abuja, as part of the activities marking the 2016 Civil Service Week, Oyo-Ita said President Muhammadu Buhari had directed the Minister of Finance and Office of Accountant General of the Federation to explore ways of making the payments.

She said Government has, till this moment, not been able to pay the claims, largely because of the financial challenges presently facing the country.

She added that the affected workers will be paid their benefit claims after the conclusion of the phased payment formula, that is being reconciled in collaboration with the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation.

She assured that staff welfare would be addressed from many fronts, noting that the Service was exploring the possibility of providing bulk payments of rent allowances for workers within this financial year. Mrs. Oyo-Ita stated further that a committee has been set up on national salary review, and would sit with relevant stakeholders to take a decision on pay rise, adding that there was no plan to retrench workers, saying “it is cruel to throw people into the labour market.”
