Ogun Job Portal Launch: Celebration of Mediocrity in its Highest Form

By James Aikulola, Itori

To political observers in Ogun state, it came as a rude shock when the government of Dapo Abiodun announced her plan to celebrate the launch of a job portal which ordinarily required no merry-making other than a press conference to create more awareness among the citizens.

Job portal is an avenue that helps an applicant to find job and aids employers in their quests to locate ideal candidates. It is an online platform purposely to seek employment and not a guarantee for automatic employment. Only God knows who advised a sitting governor to call for such celebrations especially with the invitation of the VP, who supposedly should be occupied with a more tangible and fruitful national assignment. 

However, Information has also revealed that the governor whose 100 days in office will come in no time is seeking all possible malicious and content-free ways to celebrate his under-performance in office by making reference to his job portal as a major achievement after siphoning of millions of tax payers funds via the jamboree celebrations.

No doubt, Ogun state has never had it this bad before where mediocres waste state resources without consideration on unnecessary events. The truth is that, the job itself is not coming from the state government but corporate organizations and established commissions. The brain behind its creation is the CEO of jobberman himself. Yes, CEO of jobberman!

In his handlers' views, they wanted to vituperate the past administration of SIA but rather keep exposing their principal's unpreparedness and lack of administrative initiatives.

We must remind these mediocres in power that time waits for no man and enough of their shameful administrative style which continues to ridicule the state among others, especially with their latest antics of wasting tax payers' funds on celebration of a website which ordinarily calls for no merry-making.
