As an advocate for the rights of underprivileged persons living with disabilities, Juremi foundation has carried out an outreach program aimed at giving out mobility aids to the physically challenged in the society. The distribution of wheelchairs and clutches to the less privileged person within Abuja metropolis held on the 21st of July, 2018 at the Unity Fountain, Abuja, the federal capital was a great succour to the recipients.

The beneficiaries of the outreach expressed their deep gratitude to the foundation as they were overwhelmed with joy to receive required aid which they never had access to due to financial situations. Juremi Foundation in their reach out gesture is acutely aware of how many people in the society that needed such help and has vowed to reach out for more to make the society a better place for all. In their kind hearted initiative, they consider these individuals to be childlike, helpless, hopeless, non functioning and non contributing members of the society and see need to help their situation.

Speaking after handing over the items to the recipients, the founder and chief executive of Juremi Foundation, Amen Amarachi Rocha’s said; “People often take the ability to move for granted, forgetting that with a disability; even the smallest step can prevent an individual living with disability from accessing all parts of his/her life. Being mobile enhances a person’s ability to learn, interact with others, earn a living and participate in the community.

“However, caring for persons with disability can sometimes be made easier with the use of certain aids, equipments and/or adaptations. For some persons, having the right equipments can also enhance their ability to become more independent, help ease the process of transition, and day to day living is also made easier. With the provision of some of these equipments such as crutches, wheelchairs, special beds, hearing aids among others, we bring succour to their life.

“Individuals from lower socio-economic group living with disabilities have no resources whatsoever to purchase these equipments to help them, though some are skilled enough to make something for themselves. Juremi foundation, works towards providing these necessary daily requirements aimed at the making day to day living more convenient and fulfilled.”

Back in the 80s and 90s Nigeria used to be a transit point for drugs and there was an eminent stigmatization of drug use that prompted users to hide their drug dependent habits.

The story changed over the years as Nigeria has gone from being a drug consuming nation to being a drug producing one; Nigeria has now assumed the position and destination for hard and illicit drugs.

According to Synapse Services, the society we live in seem to have cultivated the fact that drug use can be 'cool' and as such, drug users openly boast about their habits and skills in taking psychoactive substances.
Worried by the menace of drugs and substance abuse by Nigerian youths, the Tagwaye Charity Foundation Drug Abuse Campaign received an endorsement from the governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Mohammed Badaru Abubakar yesterday in Jigawa State, Nigeria.

Director, Tagwaye Charity Foundation, Prince U. C who earlier on briefed the press on the upcoming events, said statistics indicate that a significant percentage of youths are either users, abusers, addicts or dependant on drugs and substances which pose serious health and social dangers.

The Governor, Alhaji Mohammed Badaru Abubakar in his remarks was positive that the menace of drug abuse will be brought to its lowest minimum.

The Drug Abuse Campaign which was recently conducted in Abuja will also be taken to the ancient city of Kano.

The city of Abuja is about to witness yet another entertaining and historical night as Miss Ambassador For Peace Contestants are all set to battle it out on the stage of destiny at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja on Saturday, 22rd September.

Besides the pageant presentations and display on stage involving about 25 super Ambassadors, 2 winners ‎are expected to emerge. Plus Zonal representatives, While 25 Award Recipients that are screened and selected will be honoured and recognised for propagating peace in their respective fields of endeavour. They are to be celebrated for their impact in the area of nation Building, leadership excellence and distinguished peace Achievers in their sector.

The Contestants will also be engaged with serials of activities which include the 18th September for the Peace Charity Football Match Between the beautiful Contestant against Nigeria Female Officers and Peace Walk to celebrate the UN World Peace day on the 20th Of September which is Tagged "Nigeria Unite"

For the records, 22nd September by 5:00pm all roads will lead to the grand final of Miss Ambassador For Peace / Peace Achievers Award at Transcorp Hilton where the winners of the contest are expected to Emerge.

A top Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC officer Sulaiman Bakari is certainly a huge contender and a force to beat as excitement greeted the large crowd that accompanied him to pick his nomination form to represent the people of Jalingo, Yorro, Zing federal constituency of Taraba State at the National Assembly in the 2019 general elections under the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC). Bakari picked his nomination form in the early hours of Monday, 10th September, 2019 at the party's headquarters in Abuja.

This confirms the earlier reports that SB, as he is widely known, has been dissatisfied with the level of representation at his constituency could take the bull by the horn in throwing his heart into the race. The purchase of the nomination form comes on the heels of the call on the current representative not to bother contesting as he would find his support in the mud that would entrap him.

S.B who exudes in him the training and experience he has acquired over the years while working as a top EFCC detective said corruption must be nipped on the board if we must progress as a nation: "I am not coming for self-aggrandizement or other personal wishes, but to rescue Nigerians from the menace of corruption. Our education is backward because of corruption; we went into recession because of corruption; our youths are unemployed because of corruption and the list goes on and on". He added that his call to represent the people of Jalingo, Yorro, Zing was to move them out of the shackles of corruption, saying the constituents deserve their entitlements which is the dividends of democracy.

A staunch supporter of Sulaiman Bakari said "the time has come for us to redeem ourselves and our ideologies. We need to participate in the decision making process of our constituency. We have been relegated to the background by our current representative who dwells in satisfying self over everyone else in his constituency. We must break this chain and join the train of progress. We cannot vote someone who milks himself and his family alone. We are wiser. We will vote out the self centred representative".

SB has been an EFCC liaison officer at the National Assembly for several years where his job was found to be much more commendable. His presence at the National Assembly gave him the opportunity to represent the Commission in most functions and engaged in numerous management programmes. Most worthy of note is that while serving at the National Assembly, Sulaiman participated in some special projects in conjunction with the leadership of the national Assembly and shared some outstanding ideas.

Mr. Bakari has had the opportunity to attend so many professional courses both local and international. He was also privileged to be trained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI, USA, as Fundamental Criminal investigative Analyst, April 2015, at West Africa Regional Training Centre, Accra Ghana. In his unbridled quest to acquire further knowledge, Mr. S.B returned to his alma mater, that is, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria in 2012, where he obtained a Master's Degree in Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice. He is currently running another 2-year Master's Degree Programme in Anti-Corruption Studies (MACS), with the only Anti-Corruption Academy in the world, the International Anti-Corruption Academy, Laxenburg, Austria.

According to him, "one man alone cannot fight corruption. It must be a collective drive. If we want to get ourselves back on track following the dreams of our heroes past, we must rid corruption from our society. The anti-corruption fight must be taken to the National Assembly. Once it gets there, we shall witness a better Nigeria".
