HOPE AS PMAN CARETAKER COMMITTEE GETS TRADE UNION APPROVAL


Hope is finally here as a major breakthrough in the decades’ old controversy rocking the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN), was achieved recently when the PMAN Caretaker Committee, led by Kevin Lucciano Gabriel, got the endorsement of the Registrar of Trade Unions with a mandate to take over the affairs of the union and reunite it.
A statement confirming the development signed by the Chairman of its Care Taker Committee, Kevin Lucciano Gabriel read thus: “The PMAN Caretaker Committee, in concert with the Registrar of Trade unions in Nigeria and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity, wish to bring to public notice that the prolonged leadership battle that engulfed the activities of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN), has been laid to rest. This is coming on the heels of a joint meeting of all factional leaders, the Peace Initiative Committee and the Registrar of Trade Unions, held on Tuesday, October, 29, 2013.’
The statement urged all state chapters of PMAN, all Nigerian musicians and members of the public to key into the full activities of the PMAN Peace Initiative Committee led by Barrister Kevin Lucciano, under the supervision of the Registrar, Mrs. N. Mbogu.
“This endorsement letter formally brings to an end, the recognition of any faction and all factional activities in the Association. Members of the public are kindly advised in their own interest to desist from further transactions of any PMAN related business with persons that present themselves as representatives of the National Headquarters of PMAN,” Gabriel said, commenting on the development.
Meanwhile, Corroborating Gabriel, a letter dated July 7, and signed by N. Mbogu, Registrar of Trade Unions, Federal Ministry of Labour & Productivity stated thus: 'I refer to your letter dated 3rd July 2014...I am in this letter reiterating the endorsement given to the Peace Initiative Committee, which has metamorphosed into the PMAN Caretaker Committee by the office of the Registrar of Trade Unions, Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity, at a meeting held on 29 October, 2013, with PMAN stakeholders. The committee was given the mandate of reconciling all factions thereby achieving a level playing ground for all members towards conducting national elections nationwide that will usher in credible and visionary leaders.'
The letter added that all peace loving members including state chapters are expected to key into the Caretaker Committee’s activities if they have not already done so as a matter of urgency.

In a chat with superbassnaija , Wale Kuku disclosed that he was shocked when he heard claims credited to the act that he had quit SQN: “To tell you the WALE KUKU truth, I heard on radio and TV that he was done with SQN and I was shocked because we had a perfect relationship. It was later he told me he was done with SQN and I couldn’t believe it!” According to him, he has no issues with Chuddy K’s desire to jump ship. However he says if Chuddy K wants to leave, it must be done legally. “He has all rights to say he is done but it has to be done within the ambits of the law; it has to be done legally because there is a binding contract. To be honest with you, I really don’t know what led to his decision to leave. He just ca...

Actress Mary Uranta’s allegation: My story By TONY OGAGA ERHARIEFE

In its travel advisory, the Goethe Institute had warned: ‘Pack an umbrella and a sweater.’ For no particular reason I had ignored the warning and I was about to learn the hard way. As soon as we touched down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi, for the 10 Cities project, sponsored by Goethe Institute, Nairobi and designed to capture the evolution of club culture and music in 10 cities across the world, I knew I was in a different environment. For one, the air smelt clean but the weather was cold, so cold I could feel it in my marrows. We had spent two brainstorming days that included power point presentations, in-depth discussions and debates. Now the organisers felt we should take a retreat and visit one of Kenya’s treasured resorts, Lake Naivisha, located in Nairobi’s countryside and elevated at 6000 feet above sea level.
