Sunday, February 21, 2016

President Buhari will depart Nigeria for Saudi Arabia tomorrow February 22nd. A statement by the Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, states that President Buhari, who will be accompanied by a high-powered Federal Government delegation, including the Minister of State (Petroleum) and Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, (NNPC), Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, will first fly to Riyadyh for talks on Tuesday with King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and senior officials of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Ongoing efforts by Nigeria and other members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to achieve greater stability in the price of crude oil exports are expected to be high on the agenda of discussions between President Buhari and the Saudi Monarch.

Crude oil prices and market stability will also be on the front burner when President Buhari goes on to Doha on Saturday for talks on Sunday with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. Buhari is also scheduled to meet with leading Saudi and Qatari businessmen in Riyadh and Doha, and invite them to support his administration’s efforts to revamp the Nigerian economy by taking advantage of the great investment opportunities currently available in Nigeria’s mining, agriculture, power supply, infrastructure, transportation, communications and other sectors.

President Buhari’s other engagements in Saudi Arabia include meetings with heads of international financial organisations and multilateral associations. Before going on to Doha, the President will also visit Medina and Mecca to pray for greater peace, prosperity and progress in Nigeria

800,000 women affected by VVF annually in Nigeria

Added by ng on August 9, 2015

The United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) on Saturday said about 800,000 women suffered from Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF) annually in Nigeria.
The Country Representative of the fund in Nigeria, Ratidzai Ndhlovu, disclosed this at the graduation of 100 rehabilitated women living with obstetric Fistula in Sokoto.

Ndhlovu, represented by Dr Audu Alayande, Assistant Country Representative, Reproductive Health, said one in every 10 women suffered from this condition following childbirth.
Ndhlovu, who donated assorted empowerment materials worth N2.3 million to the graduands, said most women who developed fistula had probably given birth at home with no assistance from skilled birth attendant.
“For this group of women, everyday, they must cope with the foul smell emanating from their leaking urine and faeces,” she added.
She lamented that most of the affected women often lose their babies following child birth process.
“In the same vein, these women down with VVF were often abandoned by their husbands, stigmatized by families and communities, and later ostracized.”
She said the graduands had received a two-month training in sewing and knitting, petty trading and grinding machines operations, among others.
She said the items given to them would help them to be productive and useful to themselves.
“This gesture is aimed at helping their reintegration process back into the society and reduce their stigmatization,” Ndhlovu said.
The Permanent Secretary, state ministry for Women and Children Affairs, Suleiman Sarkin-Fulani, commended UNFPA for the gesture.
Mr. Sarkin-Fulani said the state government had staffed and equipped Maryam Abacha Hospital, which hosts VVF Centre to enable it take care of its patients.
He appealed to other donor agencies, partner organizations and wealthy individuals to assist in treating and rehabilitating VVF patients.
Musa Isa, the Executive Director, Nigeria Fistula Foundation, urged the beneficiaries to desist from selling the items given to them.
One of the graduands, Balki Saidu, commended the fund for rescuing them from the “shackles of poverty”.

“We can no longer run to the Villa for cash so we don’t have the wherewithal to maintain that large number of secretariat staff.”
“The workers should understand that they are in a master-servant relationship in which you cannot force an unwilling master to keep a recalcitrant servant. We are definitely going to downsize.”
The PDP and its workers are currently at loggerheads over the party’s plan to sack some of the employees and slash the salaries of the remaining.
The workers in turn accused the party’s leadership of squandering N12bn in funds generated during the 2015 elections.
