A 32-year old man, Rufus Akande, has been
arrested by men of the Edo State Police Command
for allegedly killing his 75 years old father, Usman

He was alleged to have used a stone to hit his

again which made his son to attack him.
Rufus, however, denied hitting his father with a

stone.
“I did not kill my father. He was pursuing me and
he fell down. The stone was on the ground. My
father died six days later at the hospital.”
Odumosun said the suspects would soon be
charged to court. |

Politics / Buhari Pledges First Class Healthcare Service For Cancer Patients In Second Term by SUPRRA: 12:33am On Feb 10, 2019 |
President Muhammadu Buhari has inaugurated the
advanced Cancer treatment centre in Lagos, with a
pledge that the model will be replicated across the
country to bring quality, first-class healthcare
services to cancer patients in Nigeria.
According to a statement by presidential
spokesman Femi Adesina, the president inaugurated
the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA)
and Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH)
state-of-the-art Centre at LUTH, Idi Araba, on
Saturday.
At the inauguration ceremony, President Buhari
promised to ensure that facilities for the prevention,
early diagnosis and treatment of cancer are
available to many more Nigerians.
He said: ‘‘We are aware that up to 40% of funds
spent by Nigerians on medical tourism is
attributable to patients seeking treatment for cancer.
“Despite having an increasing number of citizens
suffering from cancer, we until now, had only two
working radiotherapy machines in the country.
‘‘Working through the NSIA and LUTH we utilized a
PPP model that unlocked investment capital to
directly address this issue.
“We will replicate this model across the country to
bring quality, first-class healthcare services to as
many Nigerians as we can.
‘‘Indeed, over the coming months, under our
leadership, the NSIA will commission two Modern
Medical Diagnostic Centres to be co-located in the
Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano State and the
Federal Medical Centre Umuahia, Abia State,
respectively, bringing additional investment to
Nigeria’s healthcare sector.’’
While wishing the management of the hospital good
luck in operating the centre, the president
emphasized the need for maintenance of the
equipment.
‘‘Our goal today is not simply to celebrate and
applaud the culmination of months of hard work to
achieve this objective. Neither is it solely to revel in
the successful completion of the most modern and
best-equipped Cancer treatment centre in West
Africa.
‘‘Indeed we are proud, but we recognize that this
modest effort to address the gaps in our tertiary
healthcare system alone is insufficient to address
all the challenges faced by the sector.
‘‘Today, we showcase what feats we can
accomplish when we are together, unrelenting in our
effort to deliver a common objective.
‘‘No one ever prays to be diagnosed with Cancer,
but if they are, what we have made possible here
today is the hope that a true chance of survival and
good quality of life becomes part of the story of
many Nigerian patients with cancer,’’ he said.
President Buhari acknowledged that his
administration had introduced programmes to
alleviate common diseases, including the Basic
Healthcare Provision Fund targeted at ensuring
access to primary healthcare for all Nigerians.
He, therefore, assured that the federal government
would continue to push hard to raise awareness
about cancer, educate the people and facilitate early
diagnosis.
The president noted that this objective was part of
his solemn commitment to Nigerians four years ago
to improve the quality of health care in the country.
President Buhari, who performed the ceremony after
attending the APC presidential campaign rally at the
Teslim Balogun Stadium Surulere, Lagos, said his
administration had focused on greater investment in
the sector.
He added that the government would continue to
work hard to ensure increased access to safe, high-
quality healthcare.
‘‘We promised to effect policies that would remove
debilitating constraints on the sector and create
sustainable structures to strengthen our healthcare
institutions.
‘‘Today, we are gathered here to acknowledge the
modest but laudable strides we are making in
fulfilling that promise. We recognize that progress in
the health sector is handicapped by several
bottlenecks.
‘‘Accordingly, we have worked and we will continue
to work to ensure that systems are introduced to
bridge these gaps,’’ he said.
The President told the audience at LUTH that the
Federal Government had created an enabling
environment for institutions such as the NSIA to
help fund high impact projects on time and on
budget, thereby delivering immense value for the
citizens.
‘‘In the case of the Cancer Centre, we can measure
this value in currency, but we prefer to measure the
value in terms of its social impact, the number of
lives of Nigerians that will be saved and positively
affected as well as the impact of capacity building
for our people,’’ he said.
In his remarks at the event, the Managing Director
and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NSIA, Mr. Uche
Orji said the Centre was expected to raise the bar in
the quality and standard of cancer treatment in
Nigeria with outcomes that would be consistent
with the 2030 agenda for sustainable development.
‘‘In addition, this Centre will demonstrate the
economic potential of healthcare investments in
Nigeria and catalyse increased private sector
participation,” he said.
Also speaking, Prof. Chris Bode, Chief Medical
Director, LUTH, noted that “the Centre is world-class
and no Nigerian cancer patient needs to travel
abroad again to receive treatment easily obtainable
at home.
‘‘We, therefore, want to assure Your Excellency that
we shall give what it takes to run this Centre as a
pride to all Nigerians.’’
According to him, NSIAs investment is not only safe
but will yield ample dividend to encourage other
deep pocket investors to open up the health sector
as a veritable investors’ haven.
Also speaking, the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac
Adewole described the Centre as the single largest
investment in cancer treatment in the country by any
administration since independence.
Adewole added that the facility could cater for 100
patients daily and provide training for over 80
healthcare professionals, |

Politics / Atiku Promise To Revive Calabar Ports by SUPRRA: 11:34pm On Feb 08, 2019 |
The presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar has
promised to revive the Calabar deep-sea port if
elected.
Atiku made the promise while addressing party
supporters at the PDP presidential campaign rally in
Calabar, Cross River State on Friday.
He said: “I want to promise you that the vision of
Governor Ayade to have a very deep sea port in
Calabar will be actualised.
“Once that deep sea water port is operational, the
number of jobs it is going to create for the young
men and women of this state cannot be said.
“It is going to create thousands of jobs for the
young men and women of this state.
“Let me also assure you, I am going to partner with
him (Ayade) to make sure that the superhighway is
realised”.
Atiku described Cross River State as so much
endowed with natural and human capital resources,
adding the state parades some of the most
educated people in the country.
He continued: “If we can develop your manpower,
already this is the only digital governor in the entire
country.
“So we shall continue to invest in education so that
you can maintain your lead as far as educational
advancement is concerned.
“Because education is key to whatever you decide
to do with your life, I want to promise you, Ben
Ayade and myself will join hands and invest more
in education.
“We shall invest more in the industries, which he is
building because we shall bring the private sector to
be part of that investment so that this state can be
transformed.
“This will bring prosperity, so that you can have
development, so that this state can have
advancement.
“So my brothers and sisters, make sure you turn up
in your millions on the 16th of February to vote for
the PDP and when you vote, remain there and
ensure that your votes are counted and entered on
the prescribed forms. Protect your votes because
that is your future.”
Atiku also promised to make his administration
youth and women driven, saying that the future of
country belongs to them.
The PDP presidential candidate restated his
admonishment to the Federal Government, the
military and the police not to tamper with the
electoral process or manipulate election results.
“I have heard and I have read many statements
from the military high command threatening people,
threatening politicians.
“Please you have no function whatsoever in our
electoral process.
“So be guided and remain and operate within the
confines of our constitution.
“I am a very constitutional person, I will protect law
and order and I will defend law and order in our
constitution”. |
