The wife of Nigeria’s president, Aisha Buhari has sponsored a bill at the Kano House of Assembly to tackle the menace of malnutrition in the state.

Concerned by the prevalent rate of malnutrition among children in Kano, with about two million children affected, the wife of the president through her foundation, Future Decides, is sponsoring a private Bill in the Kano House of Assembly to save the affected children.

Shanono added that “apart from the N4 Billion approved funds to fight the malnutrition problems, there was also another N15 Billion set aside at the State Agricultural Development Agency

We are highly concerned with the prevalence of malnourished children in the state, therefore urgent efforts to take decisive steps to tackle the issue will be taken

Theresa Maina, the Advocacy and Planning Director of the Aisha Buhari Foundation, said they have come together with stakeholders to come up with a desperate solution to the rising rates of malnutrition among children in Kano.

Maina said, “Malnutrition affects development by all standards as a stunted child could not even think well and that is why today many children could not their WEAC”

There is urgent needs to tackle the problem by exploring finances gaps that would make it easy to appropriate funds where necessary instead of just allocating monies to ministries without knowing their basic values” she stated.

Another stakeholder, Dr Omole Ukwedeh, who also spoke at the event said “today generally Nigeria is having the poorest budget on malnutrition. This is as 32 per cent of children are already having one form of malnutrition or the other.

social media activist, Segun Awosanya, otherwise known as Segalink, has clashed with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over the failure of the anti-graft body to go after All Progressives Congress stalwart, Bola Tinubu, despite picture evidence of bullion vans laden with cash allegedly at Tinubu’s Bourdillon, Ikoyi home.

Trouble started when the EFCC posted a tweet stating that it was empowered by law to investigate anyone who appeared to be living above his means.

The EFCC tweeted, “Section 7(1) of the EFCC Establishment Act, 2004 gives us the power to investigate properties of any person if it appears to the commission that the person’s lifestyle and extent of the properties are not justified by his source of income.”

The commission sent out the tweet amid criticism that it was raiding clubs and persecuting youths driving flashy cars.

In his response, however, Segalink tweeted, “I’m sure this section only gives you an erection when it concerns Yahoo Boys and opposition politicians. While the miraculous self aggrandisers in bed with those the head of the EFCC worships are immune to investigation.

Daylight bullion van exhibition of Bourdillon is justified right?”

The anti-graft agency, however, defended its record, insisting that it had secured convictions of former governors and other politically exposed persons

It added, “Not to toe the line of politics as you may wish but the EFCC has successfully investigated, prosecuted and secured over 1, 245 convictions between 2015 and 2019 which included two former governors, several top government functionaries both in the past and present dispensations. Applaud us.

An adamant Segalink, however, posted the picture of bullion vans entering Tinubu’s home on the eve of the 2019 Presidential election.

The activist, who spearheaded the #EndSARS movement, said the EFCC should take action on the bullion van incident before it would be respected by Nigerians.

He tweeted, “Let me splash some colours on this to make it simpler to comprehend. Your tweet claims that all the EFCC requires to hunt down citizens is the display of wealth that can’t be justified. What justified the relocation of CBN to Asiwaju’s house on Bourdillon on the eve of election,

The EFCC, however, asked Segalink to forward a petition to any of its offices on the matter.

“Kindly forward your petitions to

or visit any of our zonal offices or head office to submit a copy of your petition,” the EFCC said

A statement signed by the Head of Chancery, Abdulazeez Ibrahim, the Mission described the report as ‘fake news’

The Mission, therefore, assured Nigerians with banking operations in Ghana to disregard the news, stressing “Relevant Ghanaian authorities have disclaimed such directives and appeal to all and sundry to remain calm.

The attention of the Nigeria High Commission in Ghana has been drawn to fake news circulating on social media insinuating that some unnamed Ghanaian authorities have issued a directive forbidding non-resident Nigerians from operating bank s in Ghana.

The fake news purportedly advised such Nigerians to withdraw their money from the Ghanaian banking system in order to avoid being blocked as from November, 2019.

It ended by advising Nigerians to “be wise and get your documents to avoid this storm seeping away all you have laboured for years in a day,” it said.

The High Commission, however, assured all Nigerians with banking operations in Ghana to remain calm.

The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) has called for mandatory enrolment of formal and informal sectors into the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).

Dr. Ekpe Uche, the Chairman, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Chairman, made the appeal at the 2019 Physicians’ Week of the association on Wednesday in Abuja.

The call came against the backdrop of the need for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and the challenges facing healthcare delivery in the country.

He said that the topic for 2019 became imperative because it bothered the care of those who might not have the means at the time of illness or incapacitation.

According to him, this can be anybody and we have seen firsthand how the management of these patients can be unattractive.

He said that their enrolment should be the indicator that would access the country it was heading towards UHC.

This is very important; think about a road traffic accident where an unidentified patient is managed without cost,” he said.

The Obstetrician-Gynecologist said that the care of the unknown patients was multi-sectoral as well as multidisciplinary.

Dr. Ezeichila Joseph, the Chairman, Local Organising Committee of the event, said that the 2019 physicians’ week provided the association with another opportunity to review its practice.

He added that it also provided the privileged to update themselves as well as interact with each other and the rest of the world.

He stated that this was aimed at service delivery to the patients and giving back to society.

According to him, doctors and other health givers are facing an ever more ethical challenge in the course of caring for patients.

These challenges, according to him, include questions on who should make medical treatment decisions for patients unable to speak for themselves.

And who are unknown and unknowable to the hospital staff and take care of their medical expenses,” he said.

He stated that after the initial medical emergency had ed, medical treatment decisions must be made that could either prolong or curtail a life, noting that who should make those decisions and they should be made,

Students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) have applauded the authority of the school for monitoring students dress pattern on campus through the security department of the school.

The management of the institution has been working tirelessly with the security unit curb indecent dressing, which was almost becoming a standard among students on campus.

Evaluating the performance of the security team in their new role, Akin Steven, a 400-level student of Microbiology department, said the management has made the right decision and the security unit has been fair in carrying out its duties.

Most students due to peer pressure exhibit indecent behaviours to probably feel big or belong to the high class on campus. So the management has actually done the right thing,” he said.

A student of Mass Communication, Daramola Aderayo, said:

It is a good decision on the part of the management as this inappropriate appearance had made a lot of students to fall victim of sexual abuse. It also gives some students bad name.”

A 400-level student of Guidance and Counselling, Banjoko Blessing, also affirmed that the school has done a good job implementing the policy.

But the security unit has not actually been doing well as they have been partial to some students. He urged the security officers to be more enforcing in carrying out their responsibilities.

Aderemi Adeola from linguistic department, who also praised the management’s decision to nip the act in the bud, said it has reduced the rate at which some students especially ladies dress indecently to class.

She, however, alleged that some security officials have been using that opportunity to harass students, while some are being partial at times.

She gave an instance of a colleague who was harassed despite being appropriately dressed from her perspective.

Senator Ike Ekweremadu, the representative of Enugu West in the Senate, has said that no constituency project will be abandoned in the district.

Ekweremadu, who was reacting to allegations of abandoned projects in the constituency, said Enugu West remained ahead in of implementation of constituency projects in the country.

The senator’s Special Assistant on Projects, Mr Jonathan Ivoke, said the former deputy president of the Senate, challenged any person who cared to come for a tour of the constituency to see projects which he attracted to the district.

He said, “The Ogwuma rural road rehabilitation project was first included in 2017 Zonal intervention project under Sustainable Development Goals in the Presidency.

Unfortunately, it was not awarded by the Presidency due to lack of funds.

It was then rolled over to the 2018 budget under Ministry of Environment and awarded.

The work involved is restoration of eroded surface and laying of asphalt and it is ongoing.

Umuhu Owelli erosion control project is ongoing, asphalt was laid before the rains and will continue after the rains because it is also included in the 2019 budget.

The Amata, Ituku erosion control project is also ongoing, some drainage work has just been done, awaiting asphalting immediately after the rains.

The road project at Mgbowo attracted by Senator Ekweremadu has since been completed by the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency and commissioned.

This can easily be verified from anybody from Mgbowo.

He advised the media and civil society organisations to always make proper enquiries from the respective MDAs.

Tracking of constituency project is a very positive development. It affords the citizens the opportunity of knowing what their representative does and how the FG MDAs carry out their statutory responsibilities.

However, I want to request that visits should be made to the Directors of Projects of the various MDAs for proper inquiries on project status.

I also want to appeal to communities to set in motion structures for the protection and maintenance of amenities sited in their domain,” he added.
