Thanks to good thinking and quick reflexes .   Students and teachers at two schools owned by one proprietor, Yemco Nursery & Primary school, and Yemco Comprehensive College in Ogba, Lagos escaped de@th by the whiskers as the building housing the school started collapsing.   But, there was a brisk evacuation of the four-storey building minutes before it collapsed around noon today.

  The Nigerian police and military forces hauling complained of gross neglect and severe under payment in view if the grave risks they encounter daily.  Worse, their pension, for those who made it to the 35 years of service, get pittance as pension. Subsequent administrations hardly did anything to change this narrative. In the case of the police, even after the Police Service Commission was set up, there is no visible change in police'' welfare across Nigeria.  It got so bad that police officers have to buy their uniforms and boots as well as stationery used at police stations.. But, joy is coming! President Bola Tinubu just signed a mandate declaring and increase in the salaries of all secure personnel in Nigeria .. Will this lead to better efficiency? Or more of the same?
