Why don't they okay compulsory 100k for intending couples?

The House of Representatives has okayed compulsory genotype tests for intending couples as part of measures to prevent sickle cell disease.

The House charged government registries, churches and mosques with demanding the tests before joining persons as husband and wife.

This is part of the resolutions passed by the lawmakers at the plenary on Thursday when they unanimously adopted a motion moved by Mr Umar Sarki, titled ‘Call on the Federal Ministry of Health to develop an efficient system for management of sickle cell disease in Nigeria.’

Adopting the motion, the House called on the Federal Ministry of Health to introduce free and compulsory new-born screening programme, which will include screening for sickle cell disease in all hospitals in Nigeria.

The House also called on the ministry to provide free treatment and counselling service to patients with sickle cell disease, while asking it to “sensitise religious institutions and the judiciary to include results of genotype tests as one of the conditions for marriage.”

They also urged the Federal Ministry of Education to include sickle cell education in science subjects in all primary and secondary schools, while mandating the House committees on Health Care Services, Information, National Orientation, Ethics and Values, and Basic Education and Services to ensure implementation of the resolutions.

Moving the motion, Sarki said, “Archaeological and genetic findings have shown that sickle cell disease has been with Africans for the last 12,000 years, yet not much has been done in the continent to manage the scourge.

“Data from the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention has shown that Nigeria has the largest population of people with sickle cell disease in the world, with about 3.6 million patients and 150,000 babies out of the estimated 300,000 babies born into the world with the disease every year.

Meanwhile, the House has called for the rehabilitation of the primary health care centres across Nigeria.

The call followed the adoption of a motion moved by Mr Taofeek Ajilesoro, titled ‘Rehabilitation of primary health care centres across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory for effective health care service delivery.’

Adopting the motion, the House urged the Federal Ministry of Health to commence the rehabilitation and equipping of primary health care centres across the 36 states of the federation and the FCT for effective health care delivery.

On Thursday also, the house approved the virement of N100m meant for personnel cost of the National Assembly Service Commission to capital and overhead costs.

The approval at the plenary followed the adoption of a motion moved by a member, Mr Sani Bala, who said the personnel for which the money was appropriated had not been engaged.

Bala’s motion was titled ‘Need to vire the sum of N100,000,000 from the National Assembly Service Commission’s personnel vote to capital and overhead cost.

The lawmaker prayed the House to vire the sum of N100m “to enable the commission utilise the fund appropriately,” a prayer that was unanimously granted.

Bala said, “The House notes that in 2019, the NASC budgeted the sum of N100m for its personnel cost for the payment of salaries and allowances of the expected new members of the commission.

“The expected new members have not been appointed and are not likely to resume before January 2020, thereby leaving the sum of N100m as the commission’s personnel cost may not be utilised by the end of December, 2019.

“It is mandatory for all ministries, departments and agencies to return all their unspent personnel cost to the Treasury Single Account by the end of December, 2019.

“The commission is in dire need of funds, as most of its furniture and sundry office equipment are in poor condition as they were purchased over 10 years ago.”’

mystical109:
why are u surprised. When I read what she typed, I knew that she is either a girl or a guy without deep knowledge of football. She blamed more than half of d team and left out Penaldo

AwkaetitiBabe:
Just deleted a video where a student axed a fellow student in d head. Heard the guy died. Schools ravaged by evil cultists should stand firm and push back just like OAU did.

If u watch juve play , they are very incoherent .... They play like a bunch of confused lots ... They struggle to win games , they score last minute goals to seal wins mayb by individual brilliance ... The coach is not the right man for the job... Allegri was much better ... Juve have been riding on luck this season ... Higuain should not b more than a 10 mins sub... Bentacur out , Sandro doesn't know how to cross the ball , cuadrado another waste .. only runs without destination , delivering poor crosses , pjanic has passed his prime ... No creative midfielder , matuidi plays like a confused man on drugs ... Benadeschi only runs and runs ... De lit sometimes gets confused at the back...

It's either the coach is messing the team up with wrong tactics or the players are confused with his tactics ... How can higuain play 90mins howwww

TheSociopath:
How is it the right opinion? Someone's wife to be just gave birth and some idiots are trying to put her in distress. Some wives would have done something dangerous to their husband before the ladies' apology came in. If Chioma had taken poison now, you won't be saying this nonsense. How did you know he's the one that handcuffed them?

Originalsly:
How different are you from TBoss concerning the saga? ..... all up in the cool-aid and don't know the flavour. Because his father is a billionaire automatically means he has a fluffy life? If you knew anything about Davido... you would've known his Billionaire Father (that's his name as far as poor mentality people are concerned) had absolutely nothing to do with his getting to where he is or his attitude. In fact...contrary to what you are blabbering... his father was by far the one who made it most difficult for him to get where he is today. Just like TBoss.... if you want to publicly crucify someone.... at least... do some research on the subject.... look well before you leap.
What the girls did was wrong and damaging period.... TBoss added to it... that's already out there.... read by manyyyy who never later learned it was a prank.... nor seen TBoss ' apology. If Davido didn't have the influence.... his career would've nose dived all because of a prank and an ignorant celebrity.

Please tell the ignorant ones. The digital economy will ensure the new age artistes are paid for life. YouTube views, instagram promos, airplay royalties, celeb appearances, music features, video features, brand ambassadorships, record deals, shows, birthday parties, corporate events, branded merchandise and streaming revenue (itunes, Spotify and apple music).

These are just some of the multiple sources of income new age artistes have available to earn for life. Mind you, It takes a whole management crew of 9-5er's to manage the enterprise that is an artiste today. Most older generation artistes did not have the luxury of such a structure or global internet platform to ensure they were set for life.

Even if all else fails, these new age artistes have in excess of a million followers and global fans on Instagram, twitter and Facebook who they can easily monetize for Ad revenue.

In this digital day and age, there is no excuse for any reigning artiste to die broke.

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved a review of the appointment of Dr. Hajo Sani, who was earlier appointed as Senior Special Assistant to the President on Administration (Office of the First Lady), for a second term.

The Press release announcing it was titled, “Dr. Hajo Sani’s appointment reviewed,” and signed by “Suleiman Haruna,

Office of the First Lady, Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

The statement reads in part: “As indicated in a letter signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Boss Mustafa, Dr. Hajo Sani’s new appointment is Senior Special Assistant to the President on Women Affairs and Administration (Office of the First Lady).

Wickedtruths:
You're one of the problems David has.
You don't have money to call him for shows, you can't attend his paid shows and you can't afford to buy his original albums.

You are of no value.

Which padi?
Why did he ask the stupid question?

That guy get inferiority complex, always trying to measure up to Wizkid.

Wickedtruths:
Serves that turtle-headed boy called David right.

Three things have become apparent

1. Money cannot buy talent.
2. The acceptance Wizkid has, Davido can never get half of it.
3. The level Wizkid has reached, Davido cannot get there.
