The Minister of Livestock Development, Idi Maiha, has called for legislation to ensure that all animals slaughtered in abattoirs are processed under controlled and hygienic conditions to guarantee public health.

Maiha made the call on Friday in Abuja at the 2025 Ministerial News Conference.

He emphasised that such measures would ensure the healthiness of slaughtered animals for consumption and enable the country to fully harness the potential inherent in the livestock sector.

He highlighted the underutilisation of resources in abattoirs, such as cow blood, horns, skin, bones, bone marrow, and bile, which were currently wasted.

Maiha noted that if these resources were fully utilised, the hide and skin alone could create 700,000 jobs and generate about 23 billion dollars in value for the country.

He further explained that economically, if 200 cows were slaughtered in an abattoir, the blood could be channelled to blood banks, with each cow having 30 litres of blood valued at 1,000 Naira per litre.

Maiha said each cow produced 30 kilograms of solid waste after slaughter, which could be used to make biogas to power the abattoir.

He said the bones could be crushed into calcium for animal feed, and the bone marrow could be sent to pharmaceutical companies for drug production.

Maiha attributed the current hike in beef prices to over-dependence on red meat, which constituted 55 per cent of cow meat, while other parts were considered waste.

He assured that the ministry would ensure best practices in abattoirs to create jobs for the masses and enhance the country’s economy.

Maiha emphasised the ministry’s vision to build a resilient, sustainable, inclusive, and globally competitive livestock sector that drives economic diversification, growth, job opportunities, food and nutrition security, and improved livelihoods.

He added that the mission was to create innovative, inclusive, and sustainable public service programmes to address the agricultural sector and ensure that the volume and value of businesses there were unlocked.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the conference aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of the government’s progress and developmental agenda.

It was also in line with the directive of President Bola Tinubu to all ministers to provide updates on the achievements, policies, and programmes of their respective ministries.

This initiative underscores the administration’s commitment to transparency, accountability and effective communication with the Nigerian public. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

Vocational Education: FG trains 270 technical teachers, instructors in digital literacy

By Ibukun Emiola

The Federal Ministry of Education has trained 270 technical teachers and instructors in Digital Literacy Pedagogy and Trade Specific in Nigeria.

At the closing of the 21-day training in Ibadan on Friday, the Minister of Education, Dr Olatunji Alausa, said the training considered the demand for skilled workforce in the 21st century.

Alausa further stated that the training was to strengthen technical and vocational education in the country.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the minister was represented by Dr Muyibat Olodo, Director, Technology and Science Education.

According to Alausa, as technological advancements reshape industries and create new opportunities, the need for skilled professionals who can adapt and innovate becomes paramount.

“Technical and vocational education plays a pivotal role in this context as it equips individuals with the practical knowledge and skills necessary to excel in their respective fields.

“More importantly, it bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications, ensuring that our students are not just educated but are also employable and industry-ready.

“This training programme is not merely about acquiring new teaching methodologies, but rekindling the passion for skill development, embracing innovation, and preparing our students to be globally competitive,” said the minister.

He stated that well-trained teachers or instructors do not just teach; they also inspire.

The minister further said the impact of skilled educators could be seen in the numerous success stories of students who had become entrepreneurs, innovators, and problem-solvers.

“This is because they had teachers who believed in their potential.

“You are the cornerstone of our educational system, and your role is indispensable in shaping the future of our students and, consequently, our nation,” Alausa said.

The Oyo State Commissioner for Education, Prof. Salihu Adelabu, commended the Federal Government for training the technical teachers as required in the Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) curriculum.

According to him, training was the missing piece in the past as there was usually infrastructure and personnel provided for the implementation of TVET.

“And that is what we are saying: our teachers are capable and competent, but the moment the capacity building is lacking, you can’t give what you don’t have,” Adelabu said.

The commissioner charged participants to apply the knowledge gained, adding that Oyo State has taken the lead by revamping and remodelling all its technical colleges.

The acting Rector, The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Dr Taiwo Lasisi, said the confidence to handle contemporary challenges in the modern workplace was germane.

NAN reports that the rector was represented by Dr Kehinde Faniyin, the Dean of the institution’s Faculty of Business and Communications Studies.

Charging the participants to keep up with the group they formed during their training session, Lasisi said teamwork would aid effective solutions to contemporary challenges.

Earlier, Mrs Blessing Ogwu, National Coordinator, Innovation Development and Effectiveness in Acquisition of Skill (IDEAS) project, said the training addressed and harnessed the skills gap at the post-basic and informal sectors.

“There is growing evidence that training of technical teachers and instructors can improve effectiveness in developing countries in a cost-effective manner and without compromising equity,” Ogwu said.

Also, the Chairman of the IDEAS project, Dr Tony Okwa, enjoined participants to apply the knowledge gained to enrich their lives and build their students to be self-reliant.

NAN reports that outstanding participants were given laptops and books, while certificates were given to each participant. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

By Joshua Olomu

The Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and Creative Economy (FMACTCE) Hannatu Musawa, says plans are underway to establish a Diaspora City in Nigeria to boost inbound tourism.

The minister stated this when she inaugurated a committee to drive the Motherland 2025 Initiative on Friday in Abuja.

Musawa said the Motherland 2025 Initiative was aimed at positioning Nigeria as a premier global destination, where tourism would drive economic empowerment, cultural preservation and national pride.

The committee members were drawn from the FMACTCE, Motherland Africa team and the National Tourism Development Authority (NTDA).

The members were also drawn from the National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism (NIHOTOUR), National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), and Federation of Tourism Associations of Nigeria (FTAN).

She said the committee’s primary objective is to ensure the successful implementation of the Motherland 2025 Initiative, maintain timely delivery, effective oversight and monitoring of project implementation.

According to Musawa, the Diaspora City is a flagship component of the Motherland project that is a thriving tourism hub.

“This is where members of the diaspora can seamlessly invest and ensure a sustainable connection with their homeland and roots,’’ she said.

Musawa added that a citizenship programme would be supported by legal frameworks to enable diaspora and foreign nationals to obtain citizenships to safeguard their investments in Nigeria.

“Motherland 2025 is more than just a moment in time; it is a catalyst for sustained engagement, forging lasting connections between the diaspora and their homeland.

“Investors, opportunities, global travellers and Nigeria’s dynamic experiences.

“As part of the long-term components of the project, we are developing Diaspora City, a thriving tourism hub where members of the diaspora can seamlessly invest, reconnect, and put down roots.

“I charge the committee members to be diligent and work toward deliverables and timelines set to achieve successful outcomes from this initiative,” she said.

The minister said that the Motherland 2025 Initiative was a collaborative effort of the FMACTCE and Motherland Africa.

The minister added that the collaboration would include other key stakeholders, such as federal ministries, government agencies, and private sector organisations.

According to Musawa, the Motherland 2025 Initiative is part of the ministry’s broader strategy, “Destination 2030: Nigeria Everywhere.”

“This is an initiative designed to amplify the creative industries, strengthen international partnerships and elevate Nigeria’s global cultural footprint.”

She said key projects under the initiative included the Motherland 2025 Festival, which would expose the global diaspora to peak experiences of Nigerian arts, culture and creative landscape from the 36 states and the FCT.

She said the festival, scheduled to hold from Dec. 15 to Dec. 21 in Lagos and Abuja, would reconnect investments and celebrate Nigeria’s shared heritage.

“Nigeria is the largest black nation in the world, as one in every four persons of African origin is Nigerian. Our cultural and historical significance is undeniable.

“Whether through ancestry, culture or spirit, we welcome all who seek to rediscover their roots and contribute to the next chapter of our nation’s story.

“Through the Motherland Festival and its citizenship programme, we will empower individuals to trace their ancestry, fostering deeper bonds with Nigeria’s rich heritage,’’ she said.

Musawa used the opportunity to urge Nigerians abroad to come home and take part in the celebration, billed for December.

“This December, be part of something historic and experience our warmth, our culture and the limitless opportunities.

“Together, let us build a future that honours our heritage while driving economic and social progress forward, that is why we say, home is coming,” she said. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

EFCC seeks repatriation of recovered crime proceeds to Nigeria

47 total views today

By Monday Ijeh

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has appealed for the repatriation of proceeds of crimes belonging to Nigeria, held by some countries of the world.

Olukoyede made the appeal on Friday in Abuja during the handover of recovered proceeds of crime to the Embassies of Spain, Switzerland and the United States of America on behalf of the victims.

According to him, the handover of the items to the victims is in line with the commitment of the Federal Government to international cooperation and synergy.

The EFCC boss said it was also to prove to the world that Nigeria was not a safe haven for financial crimes.

“We are doing this to demonstrate to the countries involved that it is within the confines of international treaty, legal process and convention.

“Once properties or assets are recovered on behalf of a country, it is important to expedite action for restitution.

“We are demonstrating this to the world, and we expect that the rest of the world will also reciprocate the same gesture towards Nigeria.

“We are using this opportunity to appeal to those countries that are holding the proceeds of crimes, recovered on behalf of Nigeria not to continue to sit on those assets,” he said.

Olukoyede said the assets were properties of Nigeria, adding that, within the purview of the law, a recipient of proceeds of crime that sits over it is an accessory to the crime.

The EFCC boss said it was important to note that once proceeds of crime are recovered, the most responsible thing to do is to restitute the victims.

Representatives of the embassies who received the items on behalf of the victims commended the EFCC for the gesture.

The Acting Ambassador of Spain to Nigeria, Maria Velasco, said the handover of the recovered assets was a demonstration of the long-standing collaboration between Nigeria and Spain. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

Delta launches whistleblowers line

By Ifeanyi Olannye

Delta Government on Wednesday launched Delta State Whistleblowers Line to engage the public in project monitoring to ensure value for money in all projects awarded by Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori-led administration.

The State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu, disclosed this at a news conference in Asaba.

Aniagwu said that the launch of the hotline was aimed at checkmating the contractors to ensure that they deliver timely and quality jobs to ensure that the state gets value for the monies paid for the projects.

According to him, the state government is the first in the country to introduce a whistleblower mechanism to engage the public in the running, managing and ensuring that government projects are delivered on time, with high quality and give value for money.

He noted that the identity of the whistleblowers would be protected, adding that it was meant to engage the people in the governance process and to expose those who wanted to shortchange the government for personal gains, whether politicians, contractors or government workers.

Aniagwu urged the public to report any noticed delayed, shoddy jobs or abandoned projects in their areas, adding that any contractor found culpable would be blacklisted.

He said, “Today is to emphasise our principle of value for money that is anchored on renewed partnership with the people of Delta.

“So, today, we are launching the Delta State Whistleblowers Line: 09169978305 it is for text and WhatsApp messages only.

“It is designed for people to reach us and it has now become another link between us and our people.

“This has further demonstrated Oborevwori’s belief that everyone in Delta do have a say in his government. This has never been done before; we are inviting the general public to be part of our governance process.

“Ours is a preventive approach, that is why we are inviting all people of the state, irrespective of where you live, to take advantage of this number to report any noticeable challenge, defect to the authority directly and help us improve our governance process.”

The commissioner lauded the state executive council for approving the huge sum of N275 billion for over 76 projects across the state at the maiden meeting this year.

According to Aniagwu, the state is solvent financially and has not borrowed a dime since inception of the Oborevwori administration.

“This government will continue to respond to critics with more projects, so in that last and maiden executive council meeting, Gov. Oborevwori’s response was not only clear, but resounding.

“So, we took that decision to approve N275 billion for the projects because we believe that we have the mandate of our people to deliver in line with the M.O.R.E Agenda of the Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori-led administration.

“The governor was very clear on the need for us to take those steps to ensure that the three senatorial districts are covered and to ensure that a number of sectors are covered.”

The commissioner said it was novel that a governor would approve 40 per cent mobilisation paid for projects awarded. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

Expert warns against drinking bottled water exposed to excessive sunlight

By Fatima Mohammed-Lawal

Prof. Uthman Mubashir, a Public Health expert at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH), has raised concerns about the dangers of drinking bottled water and soft drinks left under excessive sunlight.

In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin on Wednesday, Mubashir highlighted the risks of consuming water stored in plastic bottles exposed to high temperatures, warning that temperatures as high as 45°C could be harmful.

He noted that this practice, which was commonly observed in shops and stalls across Ilorin, could have serious health implications.

Mubashir pointed out that the popular sight of bottled water, soft drinks, and “pure water” in nylon bags left under the sun was not only unhygienic, but also potentially harmful.

He referenced scientific research indicating that the chemicals used in plastic bottles could leach into the water when exposed to excessive heat, potentially causing serious health issues, including an increased risk of cancer.

He strongly advised the public to avoid consuming water or drinks from plastic bottles that have been left in high temperatures for prolonged periods.

The heat, he explained, could cause harmful substances to seep from the plastic into the water, creating a significant health risk.

In light of the current heatwave, Mubashir urged Nigerians to prioritise drinking clean, mineral water that had been properly stored and kept cool.

He emphasised that staying hydrated was crucial, but equally important was avoiding exposure to high temperatures, which could turn everyday consumables into health hazards. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

Women’s exclusion hindering peacekeeping efforts – NDC Commandant

106 total views today

By Justina Auta

Rear Admiral Olumuyiwa Olotu, Commandant of the National Defence College (NDC), has highlighted the exclusion of women from peacekeeping efforts as a major barrier to achieving lasting peace and stability.

He made this statement at the Fifth Annual Forum of the Women, Peace, and Security Sector Reference Group on Wednesday in Abuja.

During his speech on “Rethinking Masculinity for Effective Gender-Responsive Peacebuilding and Inclusive Security Institutions”, Olotu explained that masculinity was shaped by societal norms and cultural barriers.

He added that the lack of representation further prevented women from participating in peacekeeping efforts.

He emphasised that women were often more directly impacted by crises and security challenges, and their exclusion from peacebuilding efforts limited their ability to contribute their unique perspectives, skills, and experiences.

Olotu stated, “Gender-responsive peacebuilding acknowledges that conflicts affect both men and women differently, and sustainable peace cannot be achieved without addressing these disparities.”

He called for challenging outdated narratives around masculinity, recognising that men were not just warriors but also mediators, caregivers, and collaborators.

The commandant stressed the importance of rethinking masculinity and understanding that true strength lied not in domination or exclusion, but in the inclusion of all people to achieve effective and sustainable peace and security.

He urged that security leaders, policymakers, and advocates should question and reject norms that promote violence and aggression.

Olotu further called for inclusive decision-making processes that ensured women’s participation, as well as addressing all forms of gender-based violence and discrimination.

He acknowledged improvements in gender mainstreaming within Nigeria’s security sector, noting that more women were now represented in leadership roles and that gender-sensitive recruitment policies were gaining ground.

“Five of the nine newly promoted staff in the College are women, a clear indication that inclusivity is improving, and over time, the issue of exclusion will diminish,” he said.

Prof. Hauwa’u Yusuf, a Professor of Criminology and Gender Studies at Kaduna State University, also addressed the stereotype against women, stressing that when given the opportunity, women excel in leadership roles.

Mrs Chizoba Ogbeche, National Vice President of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), emphasised the need for reorientation within security agencies.

She pointed out that improving the flow of information to the media could play a key role in addressing issues related to peace and security.

She further explained that such improvements in communication would help amplify important topics and raise awareness about critical matters affecting the public.

Additionally, community-based Women Peace and Security (WPS) groups, including media, the HeForShe network, women mediators, and mixed observer teams, shared their experiences promoting peace and security across Nigeria. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

FG inaugurates first NDLEA barracks in Yola

By Ibironke Ariyo

The Federal Government has inaugurated the first barracks that would provide office and residential accommodation for personnel of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Yola, Adamawa.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony on Tuesday, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, said the role of NDLEA in the society could not be overstated.

Fagbemi said that the provision was with a charge to the personnel that the well-deserved investment in their welfare was a call to higher responsibility and unwavering dedication to duty.

He said the facility, which included modern administrative offices, detention facilities, secure storage, and residential accommodations, was not just a physical structure.

He added that it was a critical investment in human capital and a testament to President Bola Tinubu administration’s resolve.

This, he said, was to create an environment where NDLEA officers and their families could live and thrive with dignity and security.

According to him, the fight against drug abuse is a fight for the nation’s future.

“It is a battle to protect our youth from the devastating effects of substance abuse and to rid our communities of the violence and destruction that often accompany the illegal drug trade.

“This barracks, therefore, is more than a place of residence; it is a fortress of resilience and a beacon of hope for our nation’s future.

“I would like to reassure you of my continued commitment to supporting the work that you do. This is based on my personal conviction of the intersection between justice and law enforcement.

“This facility is a critical component of the rule of law—ensuring that those who are tasked with upholding our laws are protected, empowered, and equipped to carry out their duties.

“It reinforces the principle that justice begins with those who enforce it, and it is our collective responsibility to provide them with necessary resources to carry out their responsibilities effectively,” he said.

Fagbemi urged NDLEA officers who would inhabit the facility to remain steadfast in their service.

According to him, the nation looks at NDLEA officers not only as enforcers of the law, but as protectors of shared hope for a safer, healthier society.

“This investment in your welfare is a call to higher responsibility, one that requires unwavering dedication and resolute commitment.

“This day should serve as more than the commissioning of a physical structure.

“It should be a reaffirmation of our collective commitment to building a society where every citizen can thrive—free from the perils of drug abuse and the destruction it brings.

“Together, through concerted effort and unwavering determination, we will secure the promise of a better and brighter Nigeria for all,” the minister stated.

He commended former President Muhammadu Buhari, under whose leadership the project was approved and set in motion.

The minister praised President Tinubu for aiding the dream into fruition, and Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa for his exemplary cooperation and support in ensuring that the project was executed.

He also appreciated the support of the National Security Adviser, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, towards the operational successes of NDLEA.

“This project, which has been conceptualised and driven by retired Brig.-Gen. Buba Marwa, the dynamic Chairman and Chief Executive of NDLEA, is a reflection of the forward-thinking leadership that has defined his tenure in the Agency.

“I am proud to note that Marwa has revitalised the operational framework of NDLEA, demonstrating exceptional leadership and a steadfast commitment to public service delivery,” he added.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the modern barracks is coming 35 years after the establishment of the NDLEA. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

By Chiazo Ogbolu

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), in commemoration of the 37th anniversary of its inception, has activated a mini driver’s licence printing farm in Lagos State.

The Corps Marshal, Mr Shehu Mohammed, said during the inauguration of the Lagos Mini Print Farm on Tuesday that the farm would help to reduce hardship experienced by motorists while acquiring driver’s licence.

Mohammed was represented by Assistant Corps Marshal Godwin Omiko from the Motor Vehicle Administration Unit of FRSC, Abuja.

Mohammed said that the print farm had a  maximum production capacity of 1,800 copies per hour and 9,000 in six hours.

“This plant is to ensure that people who apply for licence, after due diligence,  get their licence within a period of time.

“FRSC came up with this concept to streamline the driver’s license process and ensure backlogs are cleared,” he said.

The FRSC boss said that backlog in states amounted to 270,000, urging applicants to collect their licence in time.

He said that the harmonised data base for drivers in the country still resided in Abuja.

He, however, said that for printing purposes, applicants residing in Lagos State would have theirs done by the  new print farm.

“It is our expectation that this centre will take care of all applicants from the South-West.

“Outstandings not picked are a challenge for us.  As long as applicants don’t have the card, FRSC has not finished its job,” he said.

Mohammed thanked Lagos State Government for partnership, and pledged that FRSC would to continue to do its best in service delivery.

Mr Abdul Rasheed Muri-Okunola, Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Motor Vehicle Administration Agency, thanked FRSC for the initiative.

He hoped that it would address challenges faced in driver’s licence issuance.

“We hope that with the coming up of the farm, waiting for Abuja to send Lagos driver’s licence will be a thing of the past,” he said. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
