THE LION

 


"THE LION" it's a term used overtime to describe the doggedness and tenacity of previous speakers of the public administration house of parliament in delivering its constitutional duties and it has become a conventional norms going forward.

On the 21st of December 2023 at the post graduate lecture theater the parliamentary sitting of the house held,  having in attendance quite a numerous number of students from different constituencies.

The sitting which started on a cozy note with various financial updates from different offices ends up in a state of dilemma between the offices of the director of socials and the financial secretary of the department.

This brought about their suspension as the both of them seem not to agree on some financial statement and documentation, therefore the house of  parliament in it's wisdom suspended the director of socials  (ADEDAYO ADEAGBO) and the financial secretary ( ADEBAYO WASIU)for a period of a week starting from the end of the festive break and are not to administrate any functions pertinent to their office and also gave them till the next sitting to submit come up with a well detailed financial report.

 Also the president of the department (ODEJIDE ANUOLUWAPO JANET) seems to be spending money deemed fit to the house without the approval of the house which is against the constitution of NAPAS, and it seems the house decided to sweep it under the rug, and various napasites are asking if  the executive arm are in bed with the legislative arm.

 Another scenario that seems to likely back up the earlier question  is that on that same day the house passed a judgement on the behavioral misconduct of the librarian (FAITH UCHENNA ) towards her office. The house asked her to write an apology letter within 24hrs and it took her  2weeks to do the needful, and this makes people question the authority of the speaker.


One can only ask if the house of parliament is on the thread of maintaining and improving its former glory or otherwise, Does the lion seems to be asleep or is he scared of roaring?

Budget Showdown at NAPAS: President Storms Out, Returns to Face Apology Standoff

The parliamentary sitting of the National Association of Public Administration Students (NAPAS), OAU, on November 15, 2024, was one for the books. From unexpected delays to fiery budget battles, the session had its fair share of drama. Here’s a breakdown of what went down. A Late Start, But We Move Scheduled for 10:00 AM, the sitting didn’t officially kick off until 10:50 AM, thanks to late arrivals and unforeseen hiccups. The Speaker, showing true leadership, apologized on behalf of the House. The session then opened with a prayer led by the General Secretary and a heartfelt rendition of the school anthem. Roll call came next, with names called in groups: Napasites, Public Voice representatives, Executive members, and Parliamentarians. A few smiles filled the room as some names had to be called twice before responses were heard. The session also marked a significant moment as the newly appointed Treasurer took the oath of office. Administered by the Speaker, the swearing-in...

Schooled in the Chemistry of Football: Public Administration Fails the First Test.

It was supposed to be an afternoon of excitement as the Department of Public Administration faced off against the Department of Chemistry in their opening game of the Great Ife Football League. The match began with intensity, as the Chemistry team launched a high press right from kickoff, signaling their determination to secure a win by any means necessary. The Public Administration team matched their intensity, leading to a fiercely competitive first half that ended in a goalless draw. The second half saw Public Administration creating several promising chances, largely through the efforts of their energetic winger, Mubby. Despite his relentless runs and skillful attempts to break through the defense, all efforts ultimately proved abortive, as Chemistry’s defense held firm. Public Administration struggled to convert their opportunities—a performance reminiscent of a certain team from the red half of Manchester. Chemistry finally broke the deadlock with a clinical strike from their rig...
