Tessy’s company, a large manufacturing firm based in Port Harcourt, was known for its commitment to safety and hygiene. The management ensured that all employees were provided with adequate toiletries such as tissue paper, soap, and hand wash to maintain a clean and healthy working environment.
However, one fateful day, the company unexpectedly ran out of these essential items. The janitorial staff reported the shortage to management, but due to a miscommunication, the supplies were not restocked immediately.
As a result, employees had to resort to using whatever they could find in the restrooms or bring their own supplies from home. This led to a decline in workplace hygiene, as some employees opted to skip washing their hands or using tissue paper altogether.
Unfortunately, the consequence of this negligence soon became apparent. Within a few days, a few employees started falling ill, and it was soon discovered that they had contracted a bacterial infection.
Management quickly realized the error of their ways and restocked the supplies immediately. They also took steps to disinfect the entire workplace and provided medical assistance to the affected employees.
What are the lessons learnt from this story?

Port Harcourt City is one of the few cities in Nigeria where rain begins to fall as early as February. Many people usually are relaxed to prepare for the rain until it is April. So was the story of Silverline who was unprepared for the rainy season. One day, she left the office without an umbrella or raincoat, thinking the weather was clear. Suddenly, the sky opened up, and it started raining heavily. Silverline tried to run to her car, but she slipped and fell on the wet pavement, hitting her head.
Her colleagues at work rushed to help her. They immediately called an ambulance. Sadly, Silverline suffered a severe concussion and had to take time off work to recover. Her accident could have been avoided if she had prepared for the rainy season.
To avoid accidents like Silverline’s, it’s important to be prepared for the rainy season in a city such as Port Harcourt which is the heart of the rains. Here are a few tips to help you stay safe at work and at home:
a. Keep an umbrella and raincoat in your car or at your desk. This way, you’re always prepared if the weather changes.
b. appropriate footwear with good grip to prevent slipping on wet surfaces.
c. Be mindful of your surroundings and walk carefully on wet surfaces.
d. If driving, make sure your car is in good condition, and your windshield wipers are working correctly.
e. Be cautious of flash floods and avoid driving through flooded areas.
By being prepared for the rainy season, we can avoid accidents and stay safe both at home and at work. Remember, prevention is better than cure, and a little preparation can go a long way in keeping you safe during the rainy season.

In the past year, we made the scholarship available to thirty Nigerian students who could not afford to be part of the program. We were pleased to see that they acquired the enlightenment they need to function optimally in today’s ever-evolving business landscape.
Our aim is to cause a paradigm shift in the mindset of many Africans and help them discover their entrepreneurial strength, which is needed for us to experience a sustainable economic boom as a continent.

A premium motor spirit that does not combust as efficiently as it ought to is often termed ‘bad or dirty fuel’. Such adulterated or impure PMS are produced when crude oil does not go through a proper fractional distillation.
Such fuel is often acquired mostly through oil bunkering and sold through the ‘black market’ or through some filling stations at cheaper rates. Impure PMS are notorious for several reasons: they cause engine hesitation, affect the fuel filter, cause hard-starting, and affect the carburettors negatively.
All these negative consequences of impure PMS are enough to cause downtime for a company, leave one distressed on a motorway, and could damage some vital parts of a vehicle such as the engine.
To avoid purchasing impure PMS, you need to know that impure PMS has a darker or muddier appearance while pure PMS has a somewhat bright yellow appearance.
Impure PMS is usually oily and does not evaporate as easily as pure PMS. Finally, it does have a bad smell. With this information, you can better protect your vehicles and also your generators from being broken down by impure PMS.
