1. How much are you looking to be paid ? Now, this question is tricky because well, money is involved and while you don’t want to short-change yourself, you wouldn’t want to price yourself out of range either! I know money is very important but when asked this question, don’t jump at the opportunity to scream ‘one million naira!’ Instead, you should have done your research on the organisation you are coming into and how much is standard for the role you are applying for. If you are aware of how much the company really wants to hire you, say because of your expertise and skills, you can negotiate your salary right there. However, if this is not the case, you’ll need to fall back on the information you’ve gathered on what the going rate is, for the position you’re being interviewed for. In the worst case scenarios, you can request to know more about the role’s responsibilities and benefits packages. You should also mention how you are willing to discuss further when the time is right. Ta...

Mrs. Kehinde Lawal, Kogi’s acting Head of S Mrs. Kehinde Lawal, Kogi’s acting Head of Service (HOS), on Monday advised the state’s striking medical doctors against placing monetary gains over service to humanity. “Your calling is to save lives; monetary gains should be secondary,” Lawal said at a meeting with the health workers’ union and the management of the Kogi State Specialist Hospital, in Lokoja. She said that government had an excellent package for health workers in the state, but stressed the need to place effective service delivery above other considerations. Lawal urged the union leaders to always channel their requests through her office for prompt action, “instead of embarking on strike”. She appealed to the doctors to go back to work, promising that government would clear the backlog of salaries owed them “very soon”. “Most of the issues you are agitating for have been approved by the governor, but you need to exercise patience and avoid politicizing your dem...

A Romanian Senate committee has caved under public pressure and cancelled proposed legislation aimed at pardoning officials convicted of corruption. The amendment was designed to allow convicted government officials to walk free or have their jail sentences significantly reduced. About 2,000 people demonstrated in Bucharest, the capital, and other cities on Wednesday after the Senate committee passed the amendment to a draft bill that would have cleared the convicted officials. They chanted "Romania demands no pardon" and "If you don't back down, we're coming for you." The latest demonstrations came two months after the eastern European country witnessed its biggest protest movement since the 1989 anti-communist revolution, after the newly installed Social Democratic government secretly passed an emergency decree to decriminalise some corruption offences involving officials. It was later withdrawn after the mass demonstrations. Cristian Ghinea, an opp...

In Nigeria, the minister of Labor, Chris Ngige was prevented by angry workers from addressing them during the Workers' Day rally in Abuja. The workers were chanting "increase our wage, ngige increase our wage".  Below is the link for the protest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1wTX3VxhLM Why is International Workers' Day on May 1?
