Unpaid salaries fuel suicidal tendencies.

She was rescued by good people on third mainland bridge, life has become meaningless and frustrating and she was determined to kill herself.

A senior civil servant in Kogi State committed suicide, between 2015 and now, there is an unimaginable increase in suicidal rate.

Salaries of civil servants remain unpaid, some states are owing upward of 9 months salary. Pensioners and retirees could not see any light at the end of the tunnel. Lack of finances, hardship had thrown people into state of depression.

Bail out fund release by the Federal government to state government to offset backlogs of salaries was diverted by most of the governors. These are issues that needs urgent attention, we must do all in our capacity to stem suicidal tendencies.

SARS Reformation Long Overdue.

Special anti-robbery squad reformation is long overdue, reports of violence, maltreatment of people in the hands of SARS officers leaves much to desire. The squad is established primarily to stem the tide of armed robbery, when idea of forming an organisation like SARS was conceived there is nothing like Yahoo-Yahoo or 419. One is surprised that they abandoned their core duties and lay siege on fraudsters, many innocent people have been killed. Government should ensure that the reformation is total, police are suppose to be friends of the masses, it is imperative they conduct themselves professionally.

END OF THE ROAD FOR IFE-IBADAN ROADS

Motorist plying Ife-Ibadan road will heave a sigh of relief temporarily after arrest of some of the Fulani men that terrorize road users almost on daily basis. Many innocent lives have been snuffed out, these undesirable elements have field days and it seems those who are suppose to check their activities are dragging their feet. Now that government is ready to combat crime on our highway, the tempo should be sustained.
