  • Graphics Designer Demands Compensation After Ogun State ‘Stole’ COVID-19 Awareness Design

    Graphics Designer Demands Compensation After Ogun State ‘Stole’ COVID-19 Awareness Design 4


     

    A graphic designer in Nigeria, Jeremiah Olatinwo, has demanded compensation from Ogun State Government for using his graphics design to create awareness about Coronavirus without his permission.

    Olatinwo had designed an image to raise awareness on the virus and how to stay safe from it.

    He used the ‘End COVID-19 WITH SWAG’ to launch a media campaign on steps Nigerians can take to curb the spread of the virus.

    He was however, left distraught when the Ogun State Government placed its official crest on it and uploaded it on its official website.

    In a chat with our correspondent, Olatinwo expressed anger at the action of the state government without reaching out to him.

    He said, “As a social media enthusiast and digital marketing expert, I designed a media campaign themed ‘END COVID-19 WITH SWAG’ and it was widely accepted and distributed on social media.

    “I got a call from a friend who saw and also shared my creative work that the Ogun State Government had plagiarised my concept – word for word, colour for colour without giving due credit.

    “To my amazement, the design was up on all social media platforms of the Ogun State Government – Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

    “Due compensation is expected for the creative work and their plagiarism as the design got impressions on their page, people have seen it and some have done screenshot and shared on various platforms.”

    He added that he attempted to reach out to the social media handler of the state government but was blocked.

    Olatinwo tweeted the design on March 25 while the Ogun State Government tweeted the replica of the image three days later. 

    The image, which has now been deleted across the social media platform of the state government, was the same concept without little adjustment to Olatinwo’s design.

    Efforts by our correspondent to get the comment of the Kunle Somorin, Chief Press Secretary to Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, was not successful as he refused to respond to calls and text messages sent to his mobile number.

    KUCHING: The use of digital tracking tag to monitor the movement of individuals who have just returned from abroad is not a punishment, says Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas (pix) today.

    He said the wearing of the tracking tag in the state is a measure to curb the spread of Covid-19 as well as to monitor the presence of a person under quarantine for 14 days.

    “Most of the Covid-19 cases detected were imported, which is what we want to avoid. We hope they understand and cooperate by wearing the tag during quarantine to protect their families and close relatives,” he told a media conference at Wisma Bapa Malaysia here.

    Uggah who is also the State Disaster Management Committee chairman said so far individuals wearing the digital tracking tag are adhering to the instructions given and they are monitored from time to time.

    Sarawak today recorded two more Covid-19 deaths, bringing the total fatalities to seven cases since the first positive patient was reported on March 13 in the state.

    UPDATE: Buhari Orders 14-day Lockdown In Lagos, Ogun and FCT Over Coronavirus Outbreak 8


    President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday during a nationwide broadcast ordered the restriction of movement in Lagos, Ogun and Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, following the outbreak and continued spread of Coronavirus in the country. 

    The restriction is expected to last for two weeks in the first instance to enable the Federal Ministry of Health, Nigerian Centre for Disease Control and other stakeholders rally all available resources to control the spread of the disease. 

    Buhari urged citizens in these areas to stay in their homes in order to reduce the risk of contracting the virus. 

    He equally advised that inter-state travels should be postponed. 

    According to the President, the containment period will be used to identify, trace and isolate all individuals that had come in contact with confirmed cases, including ensuring the treatment of confirmed cases while restricting further spread to other states.

    He said, “Based on the advice of the Federal Ministry of Health and NCDC, I am directing the cessation of all movements in Lagos and FCT for an initial period of 14 days with effect from 11pm on Monday, March 30, 2020. 
    “This restriction will also apply to Ogun State due to its close proximity to Lagos and the high traffic between the two states.”

    Nigeria currently has 97 confirmed cases of Coronavirus and one recorded death.

    BREAKING: Buhari Bans Movement In And Out Of Lagos, Ogun, FCT Over Coronavirus 12


    President Muhammadu Buhari has banned the movement of persons in and out of Lagos, Ogun and Federal Capital Territory as a result of the Coronavirus outbreak.

    He made the declaration on Sunday evening during a nationwide broadcast.

    According to the President, the decision was taken because Lagos and the FCT had recorded the most cases of the pandemic in the country due to the international airports in both cities, which had allowed travellers from high risk countries for the virus to come into the country.

    Buhari said Ogun State was included in the restriction because of its close proximity to Lagos and the fact that it bordered many other states in the South-West.

    The President asked Nigerians to put aside their personal comfort to help combat the pandemic, adding that citizens should stay at home to reduce the risk of the virus spreading further.

    Buhari said that security agencies would be drafted in to help government’s effort at tackling Coronavirus.

    Nigeria currently has 97 confirmed cases of the virus and one recorded death.

    Coronavirus: Shehu Sani Says Nigerians May Die Of Hunger Over Lockdown 14


    A former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Shehu Sani, has called on both the federal and state governments to roll out palliatives to mitigate the effect of the Coronavirus lockdown in most parts of the country.

    Sani said the country may witness a situation where citizens would be dying of hunger and starvation after exhausting what they had stockpiled at home. 

    He added that the situation may lead to an uprising and total breakdown of law and order in an attempt for survival.

    Sani said, “When the stock of food and water in the homes of people are exhausted, there will be nothing else left to fear and no law and directives left to obey.” 

    The former lawmaker slammed the Kaduna State Government for not putting in place measures to alleviate the hardship people were going through as a result of lockdown.

    The senator called for urgent measures to cushion the effect of the restriction on movement for the masses.

    Nigeria currently has 97 confirmed cases of Coronavirus and one recorded death.
