Uncontrollable tears flowed freely yesterday at the National Hospital Abuja, as the remains of  Owolabi Precious Ayo, a serving Corps Member witch Channels Television who was killed during Shiites protesters/police clash on Monday was lowered into a casket before he was conveyed to Kaduna.

YSSB Foreign Scholarship Selection and Screening Committee

The news of the appointment of the Yobe State Foreign Scholarship Selection and Screening Committee was received by the public with mixed reactions.
On the one hand, some were jubilating because youth are fully engaged in the whole process as a testimony to a campaign promise kept by HE Hon. Mai Mala Buni of running a government of the youth. Believing that this youth will bring new ideas on board.
While on the other hand, others were skeptical and worried, which is to the least legitimate, about the credibility of the process as to whether the committee will be as transparent as possible, making merit the leading criteria in its selection exercise.
To be candid, the opinions of the two disparate camps are both valid.
Going by the antecedents of similar exercises conducted in the past full of flaws, where mediocrity called the shot instead of meritocracy, hence, the former's optimism that this time around it won't be business as usual since the baton is passed to the youth, while the latter's pessimism rooted in the belief that the youth would do worse.
Anyway, we can't tell who's right until after the completion of the exercise. Only time tells.
I, therefore, want to implore the committee to prove the latter wrong.
It's pertinent that the committee acknowledges the fact that the integrity of its members has been put on the line. This is indeed a litmus test to them. Whichever way is the outcome, it'll have a lasting effect on their career.
All eyes is on you. The ball is in your court. Do everything within your ability to protect your hard learned reputation

Marking your self confident

A good part of getting a job is making a good impression and a good part of making a good impression is how you dress for the interview.

While considering what to wear to a job interview matters most, it is also important to consider what not to wear to make the best impression.

Keep bright or flashy colors to a minimum:
The best color for an interview outfit is black or neutral. Wearing bright colors to an interview is acceptable, if it correctly represents your personality. It is also important to consider the type of job you are interviewing for when checking out your outfits. There are lots of colors that are less dramatic that work well for business organisations.

Be careful of casual clothing:
It is not appropriate to wear a shorts T-shirts, tops, wristbands, head phones, hats and jeans to a job interview even when the weather is not conducive. Different organizations have their own dress codes and it is important to shop wisely and plan ahead.

Bold or flashy Jewelries:
Men and women should keep accessories to a minimum. Ladies should avoid wearing flashy necklaces or large sunglasses. It is important for men to be mindful of cufflinks, tie clips and belts which make you look professional.

Do not overdo your makeup
While it’s important to look to your best, loading on makeup is not the best way to go about it. Keep your look natural, avoiding dark shadow, bright lipstick or heavy foundation.

Clothes that do not fit:
It is very necessary to wear clothes that fit for an interview. If your outfit is too small, it can distract the discussion at hand and emphasize on issues that shouldn’t be professional. The same goes for clothes that are too big, everything matters including your overall appearance.

ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION

POOR ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION: WHO IS TO BLAME, GOVERNMENT OR COMMUNITY MEMBERS?

   By: IBRAHIM MUSA BABA

     

      Sanitation is the policy and practice of protecting health through hygienic measures by the use of hygienic disposal or recycling of waste.

   But unfortunately, both the government and members of the community are reluctant and negligence in making the environment clean. During the military rule, people were forced to clean their environment in each and every Saturday of the month ending, but now, it seems like we have abandoned the exercise.

   The government from Federal, State down to local government  are responsible to provide enabling environment like roads and drainages in other to ease people in terms of transportation system and  keeping the environment clean.

 Though in some communities the government has provided roads and drainages for the water channels but sadly in some areas people are using the drainages to dump their refusals and this may lead to over flooding and the water remained stagnant. This ofcourse is creating dirty and Strong odour that can cause diseases like cholera, malaria, typhoid and so on.

   The government still are responsible in making the environment clean through  the ministry of environment to take care of the sanitation exercise but this didn't reflect some areas.

  Instead of the community members to volunteer for the sanitation exercise but they failed to do so too. It's hoped that the community members will volunteer in making the environment clean and the government also will improve in the services delivery.
