ReplyDeleteAt least, my sons and daughters, so that the huge sums spent by your parents will not be a waste. But by the way, Lagos state government should go ahead and open department of conductorlogy in our universities.
ReplyDeleteGraduate to earn 50k. Ambode how much is house rent, school fees and cost of living in you state??
ReplyDeleteWhy complain. What is minimum wage for civil servant in the country? 18k and here a governor is offering 50k for conductor. Yet they are not university graduate. They are under going teaming after graduation they get jobs and get paid 50k. Let's look at it. Even if they are university graduates? Do you know numbers of graduates roaming the street of Nigeria jobless? Half bread is better than nothing. Since no light I'm off to Vietnam to charge my phone. BRB.
