Politics / Buhari’s Auto Policy And Catalyst Role Of Innoson Motors by shineeye: 12:50pm On Sep 16, 2015 |
AS President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration begins to take shape, definitely one vital sector that will demand and indeed attract their immediate attention is the automotive sector. The reason is not far–fetched considering the numerous benefits inherent in revitalising such strategic sector. [b]Apart from being a job creating avenue, the automotive sector will readily offer the much needed technology transfer to Nigerians, as well as have a multi dimensional impact on the overall economy. An example can be cited with the INNOSON Vehicle Manufacturing Company which has over the last ten years led a revolution in the Nigerian vehicles manufacturing sector being the first indigenous motor manufacturing. Before the emergence of INNOSON, all the vehicles manufacturing plants in Nigeria, including PAN, ANAMCO, VON had folded up. The closures came with loss of jobs for thousands of Nigerians, with the attendant negative impact on the nation’s economy. In fact, it can be said that over the last thirty years or more, Nigeria has remained an import – dependant economy as far as automobiles are concerned. The implication of this is that with our ostentatious usage of foreign made vehicles, we created job opportunities for citizens of those countries from where we import the vehicles. The countries that fall in this category are Germany (Mercedes), Japan (Toyota), America (Ford), Sweden (Volvo), India (Tata), and South Korea (Kia). [/b] With INNOSON’S emergence as the first indigenous motor manufacturer, and the federal government’s policy of patronising locally-made vehicles, we began to witness a paradigm shift in a way that most automobile manufacturers have started setting up their plants in Nigeria. Following from INNOSON’S patriotic example was Nissan, Toyota, and the latest is Ford Motors USA. This is unprecedented in the history of Nigeria, and while most Nigerians continue to applaud INNOSON for the patriotic venture, it is hoped that the present administration will go a step further to patronise the INNOSON Group as a way of promoting job creation, reduce capital flight and tap into the opportunity of acquiring technological knowledge in motor manufacturing. It is gratifying to know that President Buhari has made diversification of the nation’s economy one of his administration’s major policies. One way of realising the objective is to support indigenous automobile manufacturers like INNOSON. Of course, the federal government intends to promote agriculture as another foreign exchange earner, yet it is important that we consolidate on the advantages of utilizing the automotive sector to save scarce foreign exchange earnings, and at the same time earn more through the export of made in Nigeria vehicles. INNOSON group has in its ten years of existence employed over fifteen thousand Nigerians at its Nnewi Plant in Anambra state, and it is a well known fact that the private sector can play a key role in alleviating the unemployment scourge plaguing the nation. While it is acknowledged that government is the main employer of labour, but this can only be said about a country like Nigeria where government has its hands in all pies. Ordinarily, the private sector ought to be the drivers of the economy by creating jobs openings, while government provides the policy frameworks. It is therefore being advocated that the federal government – INNOSON partnership in the area of job creation and skills acquisitions be sustained. This can be realised by the government availing them of incentives such as tax relief, import duty waivers, access to low interest loans and outright patronage of their range of products. By so doing, production will reach optimal level and more Nigerians will be gainfully employed. Secondly, with clear government support, INNOSON will be able to expand their manufacturing plants and this will lead to job creation and faster industrialisation of the country. As it stands today, INNOSON is the only indigenous auto brand promoting Nigeria in other African countries; where their vehicles are being used. In most advanced countries of the world, their countries are often identified and respected based on the brand names of automobiles manufactured in their countries. For example, USA is synonymous with Ford and Chevrolet, UK – Rolls Royce, Sweden – Volvo, Germany – Mercedes, South – Korea – KIA, India – Tata among others. Therefore, it is gratifying that President Buhari has undertaken to restore Nigeria’s lost glory, and one of the major ways of realising this objective is to promote Nigerian brands abroad, and INNOSON is suitable for the purpose.

Politics / How A Nigeria Doctor/ Scientist Bennet Omalu Change American NFL History by shineeye: 1:58am On Sep 03, 2015 |
An Igbo scientist Dr. Bennet Omalu, currently the Chief Medical Examiner, San Joaquin County, California, and President/Medical Director of Bennet Omalu Pathology, was the first to identify, describe and name a new disorder known as, as a disease entity in American football players and wrestlers. A forensic pathologist, and certified physician executive in medical management, Omalu, 47, who hails from Anambra state, discovered in 2002 a condition described as Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, CTE, a neurodegenerative disease in the brains of football players caused by repeated brain trauma over time and causes depression, dementia, and other behavioural changes. Popularly known as the “Concussion Doctor”, Omalu made his landmark discovery following an autopsy he performed on former Pittsburgh Steelers star Mike Webster. Bennet Omalu Bennet Omalu Webster, aged 50, had died of a heart attack after years of depression and dementia that led to him becoming homeless and forgetting how to do basic things, such as eating. From the examination Omalu made of Webster and other football players, including Dave Duerson and Andre Waters, he determined that repeated head trauma from the sport causes a brain condition that leads to memory loss, impaired judgement, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, and eventually progressive dementia. Although doctors knew that boxers suffered brain problems after years of continuous head trauma, it was Omalu who first associated the condition with football players. When Omalu cut slices from Webster’s brain and looked at them under a microscope, he was surprised to see tangled proteins and other characteristic signs of CTE. A year later, Omalu examined the brain of Terry Long — another Steelers legend, who’d killed himself at age 45 by drinking antifreeze — and saw the same picture. “This stuff should not be in the brain of a 45-year-old man,” Omalu later said. “This looks more like a 90-year-old brain with advanced Alzheimer’s.” Prompted by Omalu’s discovery, doctors at Boston University’s CTE Centre examined 79 deceased NFL players’ brains and found CTE in 76 of them. Many died by suicide or had dramatic changes in personality after retirement. Still, the overall rate of CTE in all players is unknown — it could be an epidemic or a relatively rare problem. Omalu’s discovery of CTE raised numerous concerns about the safety of American football, a development that the National Football League, NFL, challenged vigorously. For years, though, the NFL tried its best to hide the evidence about football and brain trauma, and after Omalu published his findings, the NFL attempted to cover the facts and accused him of fraud and practicing voodoo. He was barred from league meetings on football and the brain, along with other doctors who later worked on CTE. Omalu’s Nigerian descent was questioned and he was accused of attacking the American way of life. But his discovery gained more attention and eventually, the NFL was compelled to introduce a concussion guideline in the game. But the Nigerian’s finding — and the subsequent discovery of CTE in dozens of deceased football players — subsequently transformed the football world, raising concerns about the safety of American football. A movie, entitled “Concussion” that is based on this discovery, is scheduled to premiere September 8, 2015, in which Hollywood star, Will Smith, plays Dr. Bennet Omalu. The trailer for the movie released this week, tells the true story of the Nigerian-born doctor’s discovery, and it is expected to make many Americans rethink the dangers of football and how the NFL functions. In 2009, the league finally acknowledged the problem and instituted concussion management guidelines, which include neuropsychological testing on all NFL players to help determine when a player could return to play after a head injury. It introduced new protocols to make sure concussed players are properly diagnosed, and donated money for concussion and CTE research. Omalu obtained his medical degree from the University of Nigeria in 1991, Masters in Public Health, MPH, degree in Epidemiology from University of Pittsburgh in 2004, and Masters in Business Administration, MBA, from Carnegie Mellon University in 2008, and holds four board certifications in Anatomic Pathology, Clinical Pathology, Forensic Pathology and Neuropathology. He has testified twice before the United States Congress and has provided hundreds of testimonies as an expert witness in federal courts and state courts across the United States. A member of many professional organizations, including but not limited to the College of American Pathologists, American Society of Clinical Pathology, American College of Physician Executives, American College of Epidemiologists, American Association of Neuropathologists, American Academy of Forensic Sciences, National Association of Medical Examiners, International Academy of Pathology and American Medical Association. - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/how-nigerian-doctor-bennet-omalu-changed-american-football/#sthash.OXx2uuyW.dpuf |
