Government Workers-A Subject of Debate

Image
  Civil and public servants in a sizable number of states in Nigeria have continued to grumble over the non-implementation of the 30,000 Naira new minimum wage. Indeed, State Governors insist that dwindling allocations and revenues are stumbling blocks that have actively prevented the living wage from becoming a reality in the States. This is just as a big chunk of the monthly allocations continue to drown in the pool of white elephant projects. Most labor unions have maintained a worrisome silence on the issue, just as workers argued that self-centered interests have overwhelmed the mindset of an unspecified number of labor leaders. The workers are disappointed.    Some State Governors have now coopted the confused and disillusioned workers into revenue generation methods that are synonymous with crime, criminality, and sudden wealth.

Join USIP and U.N. Women for the launch of a new report

Image
The latest U.N. research indicates that the global push for gender equality is facing serious obstacles and setbacks.  Without critical investments and more integrated approaches, the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals for gender equality will not be reachable by the Agenda 2030 deadline — especially given rising levels of global conflict and growing vulnerability brought on by climate disruption and displacement.   The Gender Snapshot Report is a stark reminder that halfway through the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the world is failing to achieve the SDG, and achieving gender equality is an increasingly distant goal. Recent setbacks, particularly among women and girls living in fragile or conflict-affected countries, and growing vulnerability brought on by human-induced climate change, are worsening the outlook.  Failure to scale up and invest in gender equality now will place the entire 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in peril.  DETAILS...
