The "Auxiliary Agenda" in Oyo State

By -
Can we not hide behind a transparent curtain and come out to the truth? The Park Management System was an Auxiliary agenda, instead of a digital agenda. Just when I thought we were going digital with Motor Park Management.

When the ban was placed, I felt it was really about the safety of lives and properties. But when Auxiliary was appointed as chair of the PMS, I cannot but ask, is this what this has been all about? If Auxiliary can not have it, then no one else could. Is the PMS a clever innovation to install Auxiliary? Just when I thought we were going digital with Motor Park Management, Auxiliary is all that is the focal point.

As much as I would like to stand behind my Governor to justify every of his actions, truth must be told and integrity of personality must be sustained. The governor had installed men and women of academic, administrative and political excellence into his government. But Auxiliary's portfolio is a bit of taint to this record. Auxiliary's shrewd ways of doing things cannot be easily forgotten in Oyo state and part of which is his criminal conviction.

Truly, great innovations can be birthed from hideous motives, such as the PMS, but a lot doesn't add up with the motifs put forward. If truly IGR is what we want to generate from PMS, Auxiliary has no financial prowess to get the results (moreover anybody else could do that). If peace and discipline among union members is what we seek, Auxiliary's highly controversial records and utter rejection by Union Excos clearly speaks that he's the wrong man to get those results. If this is all about compensation, then there are better ways to go about it with dignity.

As I read some articles about the justification of Auxiliary's appointment, I remember how some wrote to justify PMB's actions back then only to later change the narrative. If IGR is what you want from PMS, we can do better. We should take this PMS thing beyond what it is to a whole level of Digital technology like digital registration, recognition of taxis, digital collections, processing and documentation of ticket fees. These are what we should be talking about with PMS and not some Auxiliary agenda.

How I learned resilience from a jammed toilet door

By -

It was a really hot session and I was so pressed that I had to quickly rush towards the public toilet in the building to take a pee. Upon getting to the door of the toilet, I tried the locks to get it opened but it wouldn't budge so I assumed it was locked or engaged. Though I tried the lock only once, I assumed someone must have locked it from behind since it didn't open. I retreated to 'go do the do' at some other place, but just then someone else walked past me towards the door, turned the knob, and pushed it open. The door was only jammed and needed an extra push. The other fellow knew the 'formula' to get the door opened while I was retreating with a false assumption. Since it's a public toilet I assumed someone must be engaged and locked it from behind... Assumptions! Like the analogy in the story above, so many times entrepreneurs in business, especially young budding entrepreneurs/startuppers, are "pressed" with ideas so much that they has

The two-year war that raged between the executive members (2018/19) of the Obafemi Awolowo hall (Awo Hall) University of Ibadan and the allegations laid against them by their Hall Warden has been settled, with the executive members exonerated of all charges.  It was gathered that the excos had been alleged of misappropriation of funds and lack of accountability by the hall warden Dr. Mrs. Adedoyin Aguoru, which led to the dissolution of the executive body and a taint on the personalities of the executive members. In a joint letter signed by the president and made public by the executive members, it was made clear the proceedings from the investigation and the eventual acquital verdict given by the Students Affairs Division of the University. Below is the content of the letter:    Re: Misappropriation of Funds and Lack of Accountability   This is an avenue to state in clear terms the true state of affairs during our tenure as Hall Executives other than allowing the earlier false impres
