Speaking further, he added, that he joined the governorship race in other to alleviate some of the numerous infrastructural challenges the State is grappling with.

With confidence, the Okosisi Anambra elaborated on his capacity, potentials, political strategies, administrative vision and affluence as part of his winning strings, promising that, he has always won in the event of things and will continue to win for Ndi-Anambra.

According to one his fans at the vehicle handover event, he said, "The Lion of Africa as he is fondly called is a true lion when it comes to doing good. Maduka has done so much in terms of philanthropy, infrastructural development and other things to Anambra people. His candidacy is a sure banker and I believe PDP will gain a lot respect and momentum from his administration."

Sad

The painful and heartbreaking exit of a popular Nigerian TV Presenter, Amb Rachel Bakam has yet remained a shock, as her family announces the 3 day burial program of their daughter and sister.

The procession will commence with a candle night today, Wednesday April 21, 2021 at Bonas Garden, Zonju Foods, Maitama, Abuja as her committee of friends will gather in drove to accord her their last respect.

The Candle Night will be immediately followed by a Night of Tribute holding on the 22nd of April 2021 at Games Village Estate(Children’s Playground) and will commence at exactly 4:30pm. However, the body of Rachel Bakam 38years old Writer, Presenter, Actress, Humanitarian and devoted impact-maker will be finally laid to rest on Friday, 23rd of April 2021 at Gudu Cemetery Zone E, Abuja at 9:00am.

The Candle Night for the the Piper herself will be held today and is been organised by the Committee of Friends, “I Care” with concrete arrangements to ensure a memorial and historic tribute to late Ambassador Rachel Bakam, who died few days ago after battling with internal illness. The occasion of the Candle night is expected to witness and record the massive presence of lovers, fans, family members, colleagues and friends of Late Chief Amb Rachel Bakam.

In a brief retrospect on her life and times, we discovered that the young Actress and Presenter may be no more today, but her legacies and impact will remain indelible in the sands of time. Rachel was born and raised in Kaduna State where she had her Alma mater, before she went ahead to study English and Theatre Arts at Ahmadu Bello University and later bagged a certification in Digital Filmmaking at the New York Film Academy, even after graduating as best student at the University.

Before her death, the Piper was a dogged frontliner of several campaigns against human trafficking, which made her an anti-human trafficking Ambassador. While engaging her vision and campaign against Human trafficking, she joined a non-government organization, known as Devatop Centre for Africa Development, where she campaigned against sex trafficking and other forms of modern slavery in Nigeria.


In her modest interest and care for Humanity, just immediately after the Southern Kaduna crisis, where many people were killed, Rachel Bakam led popular international football superstar, John Fashanu and Big Church Foundation to support victims of the crisis with relief materials and other supportive aides subsequently. Indeed she lived a life of grace with multiple Honours while accomplishing so much within a short period of time. May the humble and gentle Soul of The Piper rest in perfect peace.


Until her death, she was the CEO and Managing Director of Rayzeds Media Ltd, Founder & President of the Nigerian Water Ski And Wakeboard Federation (NWWF) and media consultant for the Performing Musician Employers Association (PMAN) & African Fashion Reception Paris.

ONE Relaunches Make Naija Stronger Campaign
ABUJA, Nigeria –

As the world grapples with the Covid-19 pandemic and weak health systems crumble
because of lack of investments, the ONE Campaign is relaunching its Make Naija Stronger campaign. Make Naija Stronger aims to reverse the country’s poor health outcomes and move Nigeria closer to Universal Health Coverage by advocating for the full implementation of The Basic Healthcare Provision Fund (BHCPF).

BHCPF was designed to provide a basic minimum package of health services to Nigerians at Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) all over Nigeria. However, it did not receive funding in the federal budget between 2014 and 2017. It was finally funded in the 2018 budget, after intense campaigning by ONE and a broad coalition of civil society organizations, medical professional groups, youth and women’s
groups and the private sector.

ONE is relaunching the campaign by releasing a short animated video featuring music star Waje. The campaign also enjoys the support of actor and Big Brother Naija alumnus, Seyi Awolowo. ONE will also continue to work with partners across sectors to advocate for the full implementation of BHCPF in Nigeria.

Specifically, the campaign will galvanize ordinary citizens around the country to demand the release of funds appropriated for BHCPF from the treasury to the relevant implementing gateways. After initial funding in 2018, funds appropriated for the programme in subsequent budgets have not been released to the relevant implementing bodies.

In addition to this federal funding objective, Make Naija Stronger will pressure state governments to meet all their implementation responsibilities under the programme.

Implementation of BHCPF should be a top priority for government as Nigeria faces the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to produce very poor health outcomes. Daily, Nigeria loses about 2,300 children under the age of 5 and 145 women of childbearing age to preventable health-related causes. This is unacceptable.

Edwin Ikuoria, ONE’s Africa Executive Director stated that “BHCPF could be a transformative program for Nigeria. It is the building block of having universal health coverage for all Nigerians and enhancing our ability to effectively respond to infectious diseases like COVID-19. It will not be successful until the funds appropriated for it are released and properly utilized by the relevant implementing gateways. In addition, state governments must meet their funding responsibilities under the programme. ONE remains committed to the success of the BHCPF and looks forward to working with citizens and our partners towards that end.”
