PoliticsObaseki To Offset Bills Of Indigent Patients In UBTH by Arizoner(op): 2:58pm On Oct 01, 2021
The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki has said the Equity Funds component of the state’s Health Insurance Scheme would be deployed to offset bills of indigent patients at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH).

He reassured that his government will sustain reforms in the healthcare system to reposition the state as the country’s medical hub.

Obaseki gave the assurance when he received the Chief Medical Director of the University of UBTH, Prof. Darlington Obaseki, who was on a courtesy visit to the Government House in Benin City.

The governor noted: “We have no choice but to support you because your success is our success. So, in terms of road rehabilitation in your hospital, we are coming straight to it; we don’t have enough but we will do it.

“I will talk to the Edo Healthcare Insurance Scheme so that we can make funds available from the equity funds to offset the bills of the poorest of the poor who cannot pay for the quality of services you have offered them.

“For us, we are grateful that we have the UBTH here in this state, as very few states can boast of such a facility. You have helped us to do things professionally; we are not afraid to put out our data; the data that we put out in Edo can stand the test of time anywhere in the world.”

He continued: “Our experience from the outbreak of coronavirus showed us that the healthcare system in Edo is one. God forbid you fall ill or you have an emergency, it won’t matter where you are treated. At that point, you don’t care if it is a federal, state, or religious institution, as long as you get cured.

“My standpoint as a governor of Edo is that the healthcare system in Edo is one. Our responsibility is to make sure that every institution here lives up to a minimum standard of quality care and it is also our responsibility to support them to meet up to that minimum standard.”

Urging on the need for residents to get vaccinated and ensure compliance with preventive protocols against the spread of the virus, Obaseki said: “I am saddened when I see people not protecting themselves against COVID-19. We are not making vaccination compulsory, but for now, it is the best way to protect yourselves and protect the people around you.

“Go to any of our isolation centers and see what is happening to people,” he worried.

Earlier, Prof. Darlington Obaseki commended the governor for the support which the hospital management has enjoyed under his leadership.

PoliticsGovernor Zulum Visits Ramat Poly, Suspends Management Over School Condition by Arizoner(op): 6:30pm On Sep 21, 2021
Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum has suspended the entire management of the state-owned Ramat Polytechnic in Maiduguri, for a period of six months.

Zulum was a student of the Polytechnic from 1986 to 1988.

He bagged National Diploma in Agricultural Engineering before returning to the Polytechnic as rector from 2011 to 2015.

The governor, however, paid a surprise surprise visit to his alma mater and was shocked to see workshops and laboratories were no longer functioning, as the “Polytechnic is dead”.

The governor visited the Polytechnic around 9:00am on Tuesday and found most of the laboratories redundant with some covered by cobwebs and rodents roaming around due to neglect.

After an evaluation of the place, Zulum directed the State’s Commissioner for Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr. Babagana Mallumbe, to take over the affairs of the school immediately.

“As far as I am concerned, this Polytechnic is dead. Nothing is working. The workshops are not in existence, the mechanical workshop is not working, the agricultural workshop is not working, likewise the entrepreneurship centre is not working.

“The school is facing myriads of problems, ranging from lack of funding and commitment. As former student of this polytechnic, a former rector, I have moral stakes in this polytechnic. Insha’Allah, I will not allow this polytechnic to rot during my era as Governor of Borno State. I will do everything possible within my reach to ensure functionality of this institution insha Allah.

“I have directed the Commissioner of Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation to take over the affairs for the next six months. The ministry is to ensure that all the workshops and the laboratories are put back to use as soon as possible.

“The entrepreneurship centre should immediately be put back to use as well. When I was at the Polytechnic as rector, the entrepreneurship centre was producing nothing less than 10,000 to 20,000 school desks and chairs every month. We produced hospital beddings,” Zulum said.

The Governor held a closed door meeting with top management staff members of the Polytechnic.

He directed the ministry of water resources to drill two boreholes and carry out a complete water channel network within the polytechnic, which is coming after prior interventions he approved for the Polytechnic in 2019, to reduce problems of water supply.

CrimeGombe: 7 Health Workers In Police Net For ‘Diverting’ 5,340 Mosquito Nets by Arizoner(op): 10:18pm On Sep 18, 2021
Seven employees of Kwami and Billiri Local Government Primary Healthcare Departments in Gombe State are currently in police net “for diverting 5,450 Insecticides Treated Nets (ITNs) meant for free distribution in their communities.”

The state government, with support from Global Fund, the Catholic Relief Services and the National Malaria Elimination Programme are sponsors of free distribution of the nets.

The Commissioner for Health in Gombe State, Dr Habu Dahiru, told a news conference in Gombe on Saturday that the suspects were arrested on Sept. 10.

Dahiru said that the ITNs were meant to reduce the burden of malaria in the state, especially amongst the most vulnerable groups – women and children.

He lamented that the nets were “unpatriotically and criminally diverted for personal aggrandisement by these persons’’.

He said: “the arrest of the suspects was made possible by personnel charged with the responsibility of keeping an eye on the process to ensure that the nets do not slip into wrong hands.

“They were tipped by an informant that the nets were loaded in a truck in one of the markets in Gombe with the intent of diverting them.

“Following this development, the police were alerted immediately and the vehicle conveying the nets were impounded.

“Marketers who were to take delivery of the nets were arrested and their co- conspirators were identified as well.’’

Dahiru said that a total of 100 bales of the nets were recovered from Kwami while, nine bales were recovered from Billiri, adding that the nets would be distributed to the targeted persons in the two local government areas.

The commissioner warned against the sale of the nets, stressing that “these nets are for the poor and must get to them free of charge. No-one should pay for them.’’

Dahiru expressed appreciation of the efforts of the police, the Department of State Security, members of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and members of the public for making the arrest and recovery possible. (NAN)

Foreign AffairsAfghan Girls Denied An Education As Secondary Schools Reopen For Boys Only by Arizoner(op): 9:08pm On Sep 18, 2021
The Taliban has announced the reopening of secondary schools in Afghanistan for boys only, effectively banning high school education for girls in the country.

The majority of Afghan schools welcomed students back today for the first time since the militant group swept to power last month.

Announcing the move on Friday, the Taliban said that “all male teachers and students should attend their educational institutions” from Saturday, the start of the Afghan week, but made no mention of girls and female teachers.

Girls have been able to attend primary school in some of the classrooms that have managed to remain open during the chaos of the past two months, but high schools for girls have remained shuttered since the fall of Kabul in mid-August.

Meanwhile, Abdul Baqi Haqqani, the minister of higher education, said earlier this week that women could continue to study in universities and postgraduate programs, but only in gender-segregated classrooms and in appropriate Islamic dress.

The announcements threaten to confirm suspicions that life under the Taliban will spell the return of a brutal regime.

When the group last ruled Afghanistan, between 1996 and 2001, most women were barred from going to work and girls were denied the right to an education beyond the sixth grade.

It comes despite Taliban officials insisting in a recent charm offensive that the group has reformed in the 20-year interim and that a new Islamic Emirate would respect women’s rights.

The promises have largely been viewed as part of an attempt to court international favour as the Taliban tries to secure emergency funding after inheriting a country on the verge of economic collapse.

Separately on Friday, the militant group announced the opening of a ministry for the “propagation of virtue and the prevention of vice” in the building that once housed the Women’s Affairs Ministry.

Video footage shared online showed women who were previously employed at the ministry protesting outside their former workplace because the Taliban had banned them from entering the building.

Several reports suggested female demonstrators have been beaten by Taliban members in Kabul and other Afghan cities in recent weeks.

The UN highlighted in late August, when the Taliban were still fresh in power, that it had seen “credible” reports of human rights abuses at the hands of the Islamist group, including “summary executions” of civilians and restrictions on women.

UN Human Rights High Commissioner Michelle Bachelet said that women’s rights were a “fundamental red line”, and that “access to quality secondary education for girls will be an essential indicator of [the Taliban’s] commitment to human rights”.

Women in Afghanistan have already been ordered to stay at home while the group establishes a new government.

Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the Taliban, said the order was “a very temporary procedure” that would remain “until we have full security in place”.

“Our security forces are not trained [in] how to deal with women — how to speak to women [for] some of them,” he added.

Increasing signals that the Taliban will soon revert to its previous tactics prompted members of Afghanistan’s national women’s football team to flee across the border into Pakistan earlier this week.

According to Pakistan’s Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry, the players entered the country through the northwestern Torkham border crossing holding valid travel documents.

Experts have warned that Afghan women are experiencing “cultural genocide” amid strict dress codes and stay at home orders under Taliban power.

Dr Bahar Jalali, an Afghan historian who started the hashtag #DoNotTouchMyClothes, told i she was “gravely concerned that in the next few decades nobody is going to know what Afghanistan was, the heritage might die.”

PoliticsHow C'river Govt Gave Company With No Address N42B Flyover, Road Project by Arizoner(op): 11:16pm On Sep 15, 2021
An investigation has revealed how the government of Cross River State awarded a road project worth N42 billion to a company with no traceable address.

In 2018, the state governor, Ben Ayade, commenced the construction of spaghetti flyover and rehabilitation and dualisation of the Calabar-Odukpani Highway.

The project had appeared in the state's 2018 budget, named “Budget of Kinetic Crystallization”.

The state first earmarked N18 billion for the project.

In the 2019 budget, N16 billion was appropriated for the project while that of 2020 had N8 billion.

While the project remains critical to the people of the state, nothing tangible has been done despite the huge amount of money budgeted.

Ayade had earlier estimated that the project would be completed by 2019 but later shifted the completion deadline to April 2020.

Findings by the CrossRiverWatch, however, showed that the highly-anticipated project remains in shambles with only skeletal work currently ongoing.

The state government had originally contracted Zeon Engineering and Consulting in 2018 to execute the project.

But two years after it commenced work, the company ditched the project, further worsening the condition of the road.

Amid the growing concerns over the parlous state of the road, the state government engaged Zeka Global Company Limited, an indigenous construction firm, to continue the project.

Findings, however, revealed that the newly contracted company was only incorporated on January 22, 2020,
according to the Corporate Affairs Commission, without any previous track records.

The investigation showed the purported address of the company as No. 9 Maple Street, Calabar South Local Government Area, a residential apartment.

This was even as no resident in the building or around the street knows the company.

The state government has also kept the process of awarding the contract to the company a top-secret, raising suspicion of irregularities by the authorities in several quarters.

Government officials contacted on the matter declined to comment while Engr. Dane Osim Asu, the Commissioner for Works in the state, threatened to sue CrossRiver Watch for inquiring about the contract.

The poor condition of the Calabar-Odukpani Highway has
worsened the plights of commuters and traders around the area.

Before the project started, there was a car park where the roundabout would be. It had to make way for the construction vehicles.

Vincent Ekpe said: “You see, Odukpani Local Government serves as a border. When you’re coming from Cameroon, you land here; Akwa Ibom, you land here; Port Harcourt, Bayelsa, and the rest, you still land here. The only source of revenue was this park and it has been destroyed because of the project here.”

A butcher who is also a road user, Elijah Uko stated: “I don’t know if they will deliver this year. They have entered the other side. The road is too small; they need to expand it. I can’t even see where the flyover is terminating. I still don’t know if it’s flyover or walkover based on what I’m seeing on the ground.”

Daniel Okon, a stone merchant at the proposed site of the so-called spaghetti flyover has his doubts about the project.

“Where is the flyover? I have not seen any flyover here; we just hear it but can’t see it. We hear it on radio and see it on billboards,” he said.

EducationNECO, JAMB Urged To Cancel Credit Pass In English, Mathematics as prerequisites by Arizoner(op): 9:12am On Sep 15, 2021
The President, English Scholars Association of Nigeria (ESAN), Professor Shola Babatunde, yesterday called on two examination bodies in Nigeria, the National Examination Council (NECO) and the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to stop making credit pass in English and Mathematics as prerequisites for admission into universities or polytechnics in Nigeria.

Babatunde, however, described the two examinations bodies’ modality of admission into the higher institutions as ludicrous that would not promote effective language communication.

Speaking at the 37th Annual National Conference of ESAN tagged: ‘KWARESAN 2021’, which was flagged off at the
main auditorium of the University of Ilorin, Kwara State, Babatunde also urged the federal government to establish English Language Council in Nigeria, as part of measures to promote and encourage effective communication in the language.

He stated that the council should be empowered to make pronouncements and policies that enjoy government backing for promoting National English.

The conference had the theme: ‘English Language and Literary Studies in Nigeria: Realities of the New Normal’.

Those expected to form membership of the council, according to him, are patriarchs of English Studies in the
country.

Babatunde said the agitation was unfortunate at a time that complaints had arisen on the low communicative
performance of students in English language.

He also suggested the creation of National English Studies Resource Centre to carry out studies on the National English (NE) corpus; implement relevant NE policies and other related matters.

The university don said proposed centre would be an ideal corpus to implement relevant NE policies and other related matters.

According to him, “This is why the call on the federal government to NECO and JAMB not to make credit pass in English and Mathematics basic requirements for admission into universities and polytechnics in Nigeria is not only ludicrous but also very unfortunate at this time when we are complaining about the low communicative performance of our students in English Language, and when our Arabic and French speaking neighbours are eager to come to Nigeria to learn the English language.

“The emphasis should be on the improvement of the facilities and the training and employment of adequate
number of teachers to teach the two subjects in order to minimise failure rates.

“My suggestion is that we need to go beyond our previous efforts if we really desire to show that we are running late in our efforts. We need a change of strategies.”

The forum of scholars is poised to collate and store for easy retrieval of all research efforts on the English language in Nigeria, adding that they are presently scattered.

Babatunde said: “The association has done its best, and the efforts are obviously commendable. We, however, think we need more than an association to take us beyond this point.

“We are therefore proposing the need for an English Language Council in Nigeria.

The council will have as its members as patriarchs of the English Studies in Nigeria.”

The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Professor Sulyman Age Abdulkareem, who declared the conference open, noted that since the Nigerian lingua franca remains English, moving a mountain becomes ease for students if they could put words together appropriately.

He said whatever knowledge derived from the conference was supposed to prepare the participants for a better Nigeria.

Also, Professor Gabriel Bassey Egbe of the Department of English and Literary Studies, Veritas University, Abuja, was
the keynote speaker at the event, where the Vice-Chancellor of University of Abuja, Professor AbdulRasheed Na’Allah, bagged an award of excellence.

The Kano State House of Assembly has given Governor Umar Abdullahi Ganduje 48 hours to remove the Chairman of the State Revenue Board, AbduRazak Salihi, for violating the constitutional provision of the nation and disrespect to the legislative chambers.

The Chairman was said to have refused to disclose the house position of the state revenue collection despite a series of requests by the legislature, but at the same time wrote and submitted the reports to the government through the Permanent Secretary, Bureau of Land.

Similarly, the house, through the Speaker, Engr. Hamisu Chidari, frowned at the nonchalant attitude of the chairman who was summoned but lied to them.

The revenue chairman was also said to have connived with the government without the notice of the House to unilaterally reduce ground tenement rates of the Independent Petroleum Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) from N250 to N100 which the house described as a total violation of the nation’s constitution.

In their separate remarks on the floor of the House, the legislative members were furious with what they described as the non performance of the chairman in revenue collection as well as lack of knowledge of what revenue is.

Chidari said the house has agreed to set up an eight-man committee that would investigate why Kano falls from second position in revenue collections after Lagos to now 10th position.

The chairman who was visibly shivering before the House and could not provide enough reasons why he chose to bypass the House on issues of revenue collection in the state including his unilateral reduction of ground tenement rates.

The eight-man committee to investigate the falling revenue collection in the state and illegal actions of the chairman was headed by the House Finance Chairman, Magaji Dahiru Zarewa.

PoliticsWike Orders Demolition Of Shanties by Arizoner(op): 1:56pm On Sep 13, 2021
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has directed the demolition of shanties in Nkpogu, Port Harcourt, the state capital.

The shanties are believed to be a location where fake bottled water, carbonated drinks and alcoholic drinks are produced.

The Governor, who gave the order during his visit to the area on Sunday, said the state government will acquire the land, which according to him, criminals use for their activities.

Governor Wike told journalists that he had received credible intelligence reports that some criminal networks involved in the production of fake drinks were operating there.

According to him, several persons have been afflicted with deadly diseases after innocently purchasing fake products produced by the miscreants operating from the Nkpogu shanties.

In his words “If you look at the area where we are, it is a criminal hideout and I will not waste time immediately to demolish the area. In fact, this will take place in the
next two days.”

Speaking about the “unhygienic” nature of the environment, he said: “I cannot believe that people can turn the whole Port Harcourt to a cabbage city instead of a Garden City. It is unacceptable to me. Like I have always said no decision you take will be favourable to everybody. But as far as we are concerned, one will take
the right decision and the right thing must be done. We are going to clear all these shanties.”

HealthUK NHS Commences Trial Of Grail’s Blood Test For 50 Cancer Types by Arizoner(op): 10:42am On Sep 13, 2021
The world’s largest Galleri blood test trial will enrol 140,000 participants from across England to assess the test's efficacy.

The National Health Service (NHS) in the UK has commenced the largest clinical trial for assessing healthcare company Grail’s Galleri blood test, which can identify more than 50 cancer types before symptoms emerge.

The Galleri test can potentially detect chemical changes in fragments of genetic code-cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid
(cfDNA) that leak from tumours into the bloodstream.

The simple blood test can check for the initial signs of cancer in the blood, the NHS noted.

The NHS announced plans to initiate the trial of the Galleri blood test in November last year.

The randomised control trial will be conducted by The Cancer Research UK and King’s College London Cancer Prevention Trials Unit, along with the NHS and Grail.

A first of its kind study, the NHS-Galleri trial plans to enrol 140,000 subjects in eight regions across England to assess the efficacy of the test for use in the NHS.

The blood samples from the first subjects in the trial will be obtained at mobile testing clinics in retail parks, as well as at various convenient community locations.

The trial’s participants must not have had a cancer diagnosis in the last three years.

NHS chief executive Amanda Pritchard said: “This quick and simple blood test could mark the beginning of a revolution in cancer detection and treatment here and around the world.

“By finding cancer before signs and symptoms even appear, we have the best chance of treating it, and we can give people the best possible chance of survival.

“The Galleri blood test, if successful, could play a major part in achieving our NHS Long Term Plan ambition to catch three-quarters of cancers at an early stage, when they are easier to treat.”

According to research so far, the test was demonstrated to be effective at finding cancers that are usually difficult to detect in the early stages, such as head and neck, bowel, lung, pancreatic and throat cancers.

Grail Europe president Harpal Kumar said: “The Galleri test can not only detect a wide range of cancer types but can also predict where the cancer is in the body with a high degree of accuracy.

“The test is particularly strong at detecting deadly cancers and has a very low rate of false positives.”

Patients whose cancer is detected in the early stages – either one or two – usually have a wider range of therapy options available, which can be curative and are less aggressive.

Preliminary results from the trial are anticipated to be reported in 2023. The NHS intends to expand the rollout to one million individuals in 2024 and 2025.

PoliticsMatawalle: No More Amnesty For Bandits In Zamfara by Arizoner(op): 7:54pm On Sep 11, 2021
Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara has said his government is no longer interested in dialoguing with bandits since they rejected the olive branch given to
them.

“My administration will no longer grant amnesty to bandits as they have failed to embrace the peace initiative earlier extended to them,” the governor said.

Mr Matawalle said he was now backing security agencies to flush out bandits and their collaborators in the state and urged residents tobsupport the exercise.

The governor said the barrage of attacks on bandits by security forces had made them make a fresh overture to the government seeking dialogue.

He said some of the bandits were running out of Zamfara to neighbouring states due to the new security measures introduced by his government.

Mr Matawalle warned politicians against giving any form of support to bandits, stressing that “politicians should fear God and stop buying motorcycles to distribute to people who, in turn, sell to bandits to perpetrate their evil acts.”

He promised his government would prosecute any politician caught in the act.

Recently, the state government said it had cut off food, petroleum products supply and other essential commodities from the reach of the bandits in their various camps.
