Human wants, it is said, are insatiable either by nature or nature we tend to always crave for more. In the work environment the case is not different. Either out of greed, necessities or both, man at one point or the other in his career has to change from one job to another. The idea of changing job may look simple and a positive move, it is not always the case as many people live their entire life regretting such move, especially if the movement is within one man establishments which are fraught with so many deceptions and camouflage to lure new recruits in, only to get in and be confronted with different realities.   This does not rule out the fact that changing job is expected to be a progressive move until one gets a stable and well structure work environment, with a competitive pay.

Impeachment notice is null and void: Ondo APC

The Ondo State chapter has described as null and void, the impeachment notice served on the Deputy Governor, Ali Olanusi, who defected to the APC from the Peoples Democratic Party two days to the March 28 presidential election.
The APC in a statement by its publicity secretary, Abayomi Adesanya, said Olanusi could not have been served an impeachment notice on Monday since Olanusi had gone on a routine medical check up since Saturday.
He explained that the law stipulates that an impeachment notice can only be served in person and not in absentia.
The statement read, “We are aware of the purported impeachment notice served on the Deputy Governor, Alhaji Ali Olanusi, by the Ondo State House of Assembly. The deputy governor had written to the Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, on Friday April 17, 2015, with Ref. No. OBG/A/136/67, that he will be going on a routine medical check up outside the country.
“Baba (Olanusi) had since travelled out on Saturday April 18, 2015. So, it is laughable for the ‘rubber-stamp’ House of Assembly to have claimed it has served the deputy governor an impeachment notice knowing that the law does not permit one to serve an impeachment notice in absentia. The notice is a nullity.
