I know it takes a lot of money and you and I know that Nigeria has the resources. One of the things I have learned, in every aspect of life is that there are challenges you have to face. We have a population of 250 million Nigerians, look at INEC staff strength, and compare that to the population of local government we have. That is why we have electoral cycle, and people need to vote, every Nigerian has the power to vote and constitutional rights to step up and say vote for me, I can do better. I remember telling people that things have to change and they told me why don’t you change them? In my time in the civil society, I have learned a lot of things. It is not me that is contending with the money bags, it is the electorate. I believe everyone has the right to be included to every sphere of life, I believe, every one of us has value to contribute to every system. What matters to me is your willingness to contribute to participate in the process. It is in the fact that you cannot fix the problem you don’t know. Nigerians are tired of the two-party-system that has been in operation for the past 22 years. This is a new step for me in what I have been doing in my career, to consolidate on those advocacies, leadership and professional career.

Civil servants will have computers monitored as Cabinet Office ... (Telegraph.co.uk)

Staff are being asked to return to the office four days a week, in a move that has sparked union complaints.

The Cabinet Office said it was for departments to determine the most appropriate method of collection. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) was the busiest at 85 per cent at the end of August.. Government figures showed occupancy in the August summer holiday period fell to a low of 42 per cent in the Cabinet Office, which employs more than 2,700 staff. A Cabinet Office spokesman said ministers and officials had been clear they wanted attendance “consistently back at pre-pandemic levels.” The move has, however, sparked union complaints of “Big Brother” tactics. “We have been consistently clear that we want to see office attendance across the civil service consistently back at pre-pandemic levels, and ministers and officials at all levels are keeping the machinery of government working ahead of what we know will be a challenging few months.
