~2.4 mins read
Jalingo - The Taraba state government has drawn the anger of indigenes of the state over the ongoing sale of forms to applicants who seek to work in the state’s civil service.
Premium Times reports that the state’s Civil Service Commission (CSC) directed interested indigenes to apply by obtaining an online application form at the cost of N3,500.

The commission also directed workers who want to transfer their services from local government to the state service or across ministries, departments, and agencies to also obtain a transfer of service form by paying N3,000 to the state government’s account with a new generation bank.

The government had conducted a similar employment exercise in 2017 but less than 10 percent of the over 30,000 applicants were employed.
A former chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in the state, Jonah Kataps, described the sale of applications for employment forms as unfair.
Kataps who is also the chairman of the Nigerian Union of Teachers and the immediate past chairman of the Local Government Service Commission in the state said:
“If the government wants to genuinely give employment to the unemployed, why charge N3,500? Do it for free.“But that is even not my biggest worry. Why not regularly pay those on ground and clear the arrears of salaries and pay retired civil servants their benefits first?”
A former chairman of the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) in the state, Obidah Bitrus, said it is unfair to charge applicants fees for forms in the face of the current economic challenges in the country.
Insecurity holding down Nigeria's development, says Buhari
His words:
“I don’t see the rationale and justification behind such an act. Government is supposed to take care of its citizens, not add more to their pains in this period of economic and security challenges whereby people are finding it difficult to survive.”
Also, the state chairman of the Coalition of Civil Society of Nigeria, Gimba Joseph, expressed suspicion that the government wants to use the exercise to generate revenue.
He said instead of the government levying job seekers, it should seek legitimate means to generate revenue.
Meanwhile, to ensure job creation in Taraba, the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency (SMEDAN), has inaugurated a modern Moringa Tea/Oil processing facility for Women Economic Empowerment Initiative in the state

Indian Version Of Poco X3 Surfaces With 8GB Of RAM, Launch Expected On September 22
~2.2 mins read
A new, slightly upgraded version of the Poco X3 NFC has surfaced on the Google Play Console, this one apparently preparing for a launch in India on September 22. The code name of the new model is “karna” and its retail name notably lacks “NFC” (which doesn’t necessarily mean that the feature will be omitted).

The Console lists the chipset as Snapdragon 730, though a quick trip to Geekbench shows that the â€œkarna” scores on par with the â€œsurya” (the code name for the current Poco X3 model). This means it uses the same Snapdragon 732G chipset, which is just an overclocked version of the 730, so it’s easy to misidentify by software detection.

Indian version of Poco X3 surfaces with 8 GB of RAM, launch expected on September 22RAM capacity is interesting to note here – 8 GB. The current X3 is available in two configurations, both with 6 GB (the difference between them is storage). Leakster Debayan Roy claims that the battery will be slightly larger than the 5,160 mAh power cell of the global phone.

The rest of the features should be unchanged, so you can read our review for more details (keeping in mind that the battery endurance may change).

Anyway, Roy puts the price of the Indian Poco X3 in the INR 19-20,000 range. This is in line with the original pricing of its predecessor, the Poco X2 – actually, it’s a bit cheaper since the X2 came with 6 GB of RAM as standard (with 8 GB as an option). It matches the global pricing of the X3 as well.

Indian version of Poco X3 surfaces with 8 GB of RAM, launch expected on September 22The global Poco X3 NFC has been selling through AliExpress (which moved 10,000 units in 30 minutes). The Indian version will likely be carried by a local retailer, but none has stepped forward yet.
