Floridians face changes in their lives Monday as wide-ranging laws —
leading to more costly loans, changes in the way tenants can be evicted
from rentals, revisions to protections for car buyers and other
consumer impacts — take effect.
More than 160 bills passed by the 2013 Legislature will become law Monday, representing nearly 60 percent of the 283 bills passed in the annual session.
One law will keep Florida skies largely drone-free. Cities and counties will be blocked from requiring private businesses to pay workers for sick leave. Floridians with intellectual disabilities will no longer fall under the state classification of “mental retardation.”
Head shops will not be able to sell bongs. And Floridians will be banned from dyeing baby rabbits and chicks. The state will lift many restrictions on the daily lives of foster children.
The highest-performing public school teachers could earn a raise of up to $3,500, with many other teachers in line for a $2,500 increase. But the pay plans must be negotiated by each district.
Floridians could also feel the impact of the new laws if they seek a consumer finance loan beginning Monday. A new law increases from $2,000 to $3,000 the amount of the loan that finance companies can charge up to 30 percent in interest.
Consumer finance loans are defined as loans up to $25,000 for which companies can charge 18 percent or more in interest.
Consumer groups opposed two other laws that are taking effect, including a provision that will impact the nearly 6 million Floridians who rent apartments or homes.
There comes a time in a man’s life when stock is taken to review the exploits of past years and testimonies of events that shaped the period. For Lagos State born Babatunde Bajulaye, such a moment came recently when Grand Oak Limited, the company he served for many years in various capacities, brought eminent personalities together to honour him on his retirement.
Aside serving as an avenue to take Nigerians through the life history of Bajulaye, who was described at the occasion as a quintessential manager of humans and resources,BOPP tape the occasion was an avenue for people, whose paths have crossed with that of the brand builder to pour encomiums and eulogies.
The event which took place in Lagos witnessed a large turnout of colleagues, associates, family and well-wishers that came to felicitate with Bajulaye who is the pioneer Managing Director of the company. According to Rosiji, “There is no better way to reward the excellent performance recorded by Mr. Babatunde Bajulaye who made up his mind to join NDL 20 years ago from UAC in 1993 and rose through the ranks to become the Managing Director of Grand Oak Limited. “We wish him well in his future endeavours and pray that God will continue to guide him as he sets out to pursue other things in life.”
Bajulaye’s successor, Mr.Akshay Kumar, said although he had known the former MD for only five months, he was convinced that he was a thoroughbred marketing professional who knew his onions in the business.
“When I came and had discussions with him, I could see he is a great achiever. You can see the passion that drives every other employee under his care,” he said.
He became Sales and Marketing Director in 1994, from where he was appointed Managing Director, Grand Oak Limited in 2007. Bajulaye is a member of Nigeria Institute of Management as well as National Institute of Marketing.
The high point of the event was when guests, one after the other started commenting on their experience and knowledge of the man of the moment, who many described as a role model and experienced corporate player.
Chief Executive Officer of 141 Worldwide, a Lagos based advertising agency, Mrs. Bunmi Oke described him as a shining example of what a team leader should be.
“To us young people, Mr. Bajulaye is a role model and astute manager, whose life is worth emulation. As a team leader, he didn’t only supervise, he worked for the brand to grow,” Oke said.
Mr. Tunde Lawson, another advertising practitioner, said the former Managing Director was a fine individual to work with because of his deep knowledge and conceptualisation of briefs.
“Sincerely speaking, this is my moment of utmost joy. What else can I say and how I wish my children are around to witness this and learn some lessons from it. My solace is that technology has made things easy and I will keep the tape for children yet unborn to pick one or two things from these testimonies.”
Giving the secret of his success in the company, Bajulaye said there was nothing he achieved alone but with the cooperation of others. He described the group as one institution that has never, for a second, been afraid of change.
To this end, he called on brand owners and managers of the country’s economy to always embrace creativity and innovation, which he described as essential tools for growth.
