By -

(Nigeria) The Speaker, Ekiti State House of Assembly, Mr Kola Oluwawole, has urged civil servants in the state to exercise patience, saying relief will soon come their way.
Oluwawole, in a Workers’ Day celebration message in Ado-Ekiti on Saturday by his Media Aide, Mr Stephen Gbadamosi, lauded the resilience of workers across the nation in the face of dwindling revenue.
"I particularly want to praise the resilience of our workforce and the entire citizens of Ekiti State in particular and Nigeria in general. The resilience and perseverance during the months of economic recession has been legendary and unprecedented.
“But I have a message of hope; very soon, I believe we will all heave a sigh of relief. On our part as a government in Ekiti State, under the leadership of Governor Ayo Fayose, we have not been able to sleep with our two eyes since this recession has been having adverse effect on the welfare of the workers.
“At the end of the tunnel, we will soon have light. I assure you that we are more committed to making life more meaningful to workers in the state," he said.
The speaker said that the Federal Government must also be thinking of how to get the country out of the current economic logjam.

(Nigeria) The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has been restrained by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, from imposing fines on broadcast stations in the country. Trial judge in the matter, Justice James Omotosho also set aside the N500,000 fines imposed on March 1, 2019, on each of 45 broadcast stations. The court made the orders in its judgment a suit by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda, MRA, which had sued the NBC. Justice Omotosho held that the NBC, not being a court of law, had no power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations.
