FG orders MLSCN boss to vacate office


Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole

The Federal Government has ordered the Registrar/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN), Prof Anthony Emeribe to vacate office “with immediate effect’’.

The directive was contained in a letter to Emeribe by the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, dated Feb. 19, 2016.

The letter signed on behalf of the Minister by Dr Patience Oshinubi, the Head, Department of Hospital Services in the Ministry stated that Emeribe should hand over to the most senior Director in the council.

It also stated that the position of the Registrar and CEO of the Council should be advertised.

“The Honourable Minister of Health has approved the advertisement of the post of the Registrar/CEO of the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria.

“In view of the above, I am directed to inform you to hand over the administration of the council and of government property under your purview to the most senior Director in the council, with immediate effect.

“Please, accept the assurances of the Honourable Minister of Health’s best regards,’’ the letter read.

Meanwhile, Emeribe has acknowledged the receipt of the letter in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

The professor, whose second term of four years as Registrar/CEO of the council ought to end in 2018, however, said that the letter was “sub judice’’.

He said there were subsisting cases in court in respect of the advertisement of the position of the Registrar/CEO of the Council, awaiting judicial determination.

“The cases are in court. The issues that gave rise to that letter are all in court and the ministry knows that it is sub judice.

“The Ministry was misadvised into taken that decision because the ministry should know that you cannot take an action on a case that is in court,’’ he said.

OWERRI—Angry reactions have continued to trail last weekend’s sudden rescheduling of the re-run elections for Okigwe senatorial seat and some state constituency seats in Imo State.


Gov. Rochas Okorocha
Addressing a news conference in Owerri, the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Imo State, accused the state government, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and security agencies in the state of complicity in the aborted re-run election earlier scheduled to hold last Saturday.

“The postponement of the scheduled polls was the handiwork of the state government, whose top officials recruited miscreants and street urchins and stormed INEC premises midday with dangerous weapons and blocked the entrance gate with a heavy duty truck”, the State PDP Chairman, Chief Nnamdi Anyaehie, fumed.

Continuing, Anyaehie said: “It beats our imagination and the minds of all right thinking individuals, how such an ugly incident could successively be accomplished in the presence of fully armed security personnel, including soldiers, and yet nobody was arrested.”

The Imo PDP boss, who also took exception to Governor Rochas Okorocha’s broadcast, which was aired on the airways of Imo Broadcasting Corporation, IBC, a day to the aborted re-run election, during which he urged the electorate to vote for All Progressives Congress, APC, candidates, dismissed this as a brazen abuse of office.

Speaking also, the PDP candidate for Okigwe senatorial seat, Chief Athan Nneji Achonu dismissed the indefinite postponement of the re-run election as laughable.

In its own reaction, Legislative Watch, a non-governmental organization, has equally accused Okorocha of masterminding the botched re-run polls.
According to a press statement signed by the Executive Secretary of Legislative Watch, Hon. Ngozika Ihuoma, the group said it was shocked at the way government officials led irate youths to barricade INEC gate, which led to its postponement.

“Why must INEC dance to the ugly tune of the APC because the Governor and his political party are afraid that the PDP was having an upper hand in the contest? This is no longer the practice f democracy”, Ihuoma said.

Confirming the storming of the Owerri INEC Office, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Okorocha, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, said “it has come to the knowledge of the state Government that youths operating on the aegis of All Progressive Congress, APC, Youths, stormed the Owerri office of INEC as early as 7.00a.m. Friday, February 19, 2016, to protest over certain developments with regard to the re-run election for Okigwe zone Senatorial seat and two state constituencies in the state”.

Although he did not explain the looming presence some government appointees, who were seen piloting the activities of the youths, Onwuemeodo however reported that the APC Youths Leader, Comrade Jeff Nwoha, who addressed the people, demanded among other things that “all the Electoral Officers, EOs, listed for the election were also those used to rig the 2015 elections for PDP in the state, and demanded that they should all be dropped”.

She can take anything she wants to take, even lipton or Milo.
It does nothing to affect the baby but still she should take it in moderation as too much sugar can make a woman prone to gestational diabetes, which can lead to other complications.

Some people say, the baby can become too big, my mom also told me same thing but I confirmed personally from a doctor that it's just an old wives tale. Only genetics can determine if the child will be big or not.

So please advice your wife to take milo in moderation, maybe take less amount than she usually would. Encourage her to eat plenty of leafy vegetables, tomatoes and fresh fish.

Seriously gestational diabetes GDM causes macrosomia(big baby literarily)......in GDM there is excessive insulin due to insulin resistance in pregnancy... The excess insulin stimulates the insulin like growth factors causing excessive growth

Genetic factors too is a strong determinant


As much as u can avoid diabetes in pregnancy

A very interesting article

Nice one Op.....
