Dear Lord Jesus, as we enter this Solemn and
Holy Season, we pray that you will send your
Holy Spirit upon us that we might prepare
ourselves for this coming 40 days of lent. We do
seek to humble ourselves so that we might
understand the magnificence of your love for us,
as you humbled yourself and gave your life on
the cross so that we might receive the gift of
Eternal Glory with you. Amen
Lord help us to see this Season of Lent as a time
of Spiritual Renewal and motivate us to reach a
new level of experiencing your grace so that we
come to understand the full meaning of your
Passion and Death on the Cross.
Grant us Lord the grace also to motify our flesh
and do that which pleases you during this period
and all the days of our lives through Christ our
Lord Amen
Wish You All A Blessed Ash Wednesday and
Lenten Season

Academic activities at Federal Polytechnic, Auchi, Edo, were on Monday paralysed following indefinite strike embarked on by members of Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic (ASUP) over nonpayment of two months’ salaries.
A correspondent of News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), who visited the school premises, reports that the lecture halls and offices were locked.
The polytechnic secondary school was also affected as teachers and students were asked to stay at home.
The Chairman of Auchi Branch of ASUP, Mr Abdulazeez Isah, said the strike, which commenced on Monday, would be indefinite until the management paid their outstanding salaries.
“We are on indefinite strike because the polytechnic management has refused to pay us our December and January salaries.
“Lecturers have to stay away from work because the nonpayment of their salaries has made life difficult for them,” he said.
Isah said his members had resolved that they would not return to the classrooms until the outstanding salaries were paid.http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/2016/02/lecturers-in-auchi-poly-embark-on-strike-non-payment-salaries/

New York – The United Nations (UN) has called for the repeal of laws and policies that restrict access to sexual and reproductive health services in contravention of international standards.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Al Hussein, disclosed this in a statement made available to newsmen on Friday in New York.
The statement said that the UN position was in response to advice to women by some governments to delay getting pregnant due to the possible link between the rampaging Zika virus and neurological disorders affecting newborns.
According to the statement, upholding women’s human rights was essential if the response to the Zika health emergency would be effective.
“Clearly, managing the spread of Zika is a major challenge to governments in Latin America.
“However, the advice of some governments to women to delay getting pregnant ignores the reality that many women and girls simply cannot exercise control over when they become pregnant.
“The circumstance is made more difficult in environment where sexual violence is so common,’’ the statement said.
The statement noted that “in situations where sexual violence is rampant and sexual and reproductive health services are unavailable, efforts to halt Zika crisis will not be enhanced by stopping women from getting pregnant’’.
The statement stressed that, amid the continuing spread of the virus, authorities must ensure that their public health responses were pursued in conformity with human health-related rights obligations.
“Upholding human rights is essential to an effective public health response.
“This requires that governments ensure that women, men and adolescents have access to comprehensive and affordable quality sexual and reproductive health services and information, without discrimination.
“Health services must be delivered in a way that ensures the woman’s informed consent, respect for her dignity and the guarantee of her privacy.
“Laws and policies that restrict her access to these services must be urgently reviewed in line with human rights obligations in order to ensure the right to health for all in practice,’’ it stated.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared a public health emergency on the spread of the virus.
The Organisation had said that causative link between Zika and microcephaly – babies born with abnormally small heads and underdeveloped brain- and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (a neurological condition), is still under investigation. (NAN)

A growing Lassa fever outbreak in Nigeria has killed 101 people, as West Africa battles to contain a flare up of the virus, according to data from the nation’s health authorities released Saturday.
Nigeria Centre for Disease (NCDC) statistics show that reported cases of the haemorrhagic disease — both confirmed and suspected — stood at 175 with a total of 101 deaths since August.
“As at today, 19 (including Abuja) states are currently following up contacts, or have suspected cases with laboratory results pending or laboratory confirmed cases,” the NCDC said in a statement.
Deaths from the virus were recorded in the nation’s political capital, Abuja, Lagos, and 14 other states, the NCDC said.
While health authorities assure Africa’s most populous country of more than 170 million they have the virus under control, there are fears the actual scale of the outbreak is under-reported.
The outbreak of Lassa fever was only announced in January — months after the first case of the disease happened in August — with subsequent deaths reported in 10 states, including Abuja.
Last year, 12 people died in Nigeria out of 375 infected, while in 2012 there were 1,723 cases and 112 deaths, according to the NCDC.
In neighbouring Benin at least nine people have died in a Lassa outbreak, with a total of 20 suspected cases, health authorities said Tuesday.
Benin was last hit by a Lassa fever outbreak in October 2014, when nine people suspected of having the virus died.
The number of Lassa fever infections in West Africa every year is between 100,000 to 300,000, with about 5,000 deaths, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Lassa fever belongs to the same family as Marburg and Ebola, two deadly viruses that lead to infections
with fever, vomiting and, in worse case scenarios, haemorrhagic bleeding.
Its name is from the town of Lassa in northern Nigeria where it was first identified in 1969.
Endemic to the region, Lassa fever is asymptomatic in 80 percent of cases but for others it can cause internal bleeding, especially when diagnosed late.
The virus is spread through contact with food or household items contaminated with rats’ urine or faeces or after coming in direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person.
