Senators- elect from the North-Central have  said that the least position worthy of the zone was the position of  the Deputy President of the Senate.

Senator-elect for Nasarawa West Senatorial District, Ahmed Wadada  (SDP-Nasarawa) made the declaration on behalf of the North -Central Senators-elect caucus at a news conference in Abuja on Friday.

Wadada, who holds the traditional title of Sarkin Yakin Keffi, said that the least position the zone would go for was the position of the Deputy Senate President.

He said: “We as a caucus meet and first welcome the President -elect from his trip and asked that fairness takes place in the distribution of leadership to all the geo-political zones.

“Of course we are aware that there are agitations from various geo- political zones on the positions of Senate President, Deputy Senate President, Speaker and Deputy Speaker.

“Haven been aware of these agitations of course, it should be called to mind that the South-West and the North-East haven’t produced the president and vice president respectfully.

“The north-central as a result of that is of the stand and position that the least position we will go for is the deputy senate president and this is not just coming today.

“The north-central caucus has been consistent from the commencement of the politics that will lead to the emergence of the leadership of the national assembly.

“That has always been our position that  we are for the deputy senate president position and that is what we stand for.

“We shall work in harmony, mutuality and cordiality with all other geo- political zones for the good of Nigeria but not to be compromised for any reason what so ever.”

The senators-elect also disclosed that the caucus was projecting Sen. Sani Musa ( APC-Niger) for the position of Deputy Senate President of the 10th Senate.

“We made it clear at our maiden meeting to give the position to the  chairman of this caucus, Sen. Sani Musa.

“We all agreed among us that whatever comes to north-central goes to Sen. Sani Musa because we are a united family.”

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the caucus comprised members of different political parties.(NAN)

10th Assembly: Coalition advocates South-East senate presidency for fairness, equity

By Sarafina Christopher

The Coalition of
Civil Society Organization for Peace and Unity of Nigeria (CCSOPUN) have advocated for a Senate President from the South-East to promote fairness, equity, Justice and balance for peace and unity of Nigeria.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the call was made on Thursday during a meeting on “10th National Assembly Leadership” issues and prospects in Abuja.

According to Dr Onwubuya Breakforth, Chairman of the Coalition, the South East -geo-political zones are being treated unfairly and unjustly in the political equation of our country.

“From 1999 till date, the South East has been denied Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the South West has done Presidency from 1999-2007, North-West 2007 to 2011, South-South from 2011 to 2015, North-West again 2015 to 2023.

“For the Vice President, North East has done from 1999 to 2007, South –South has 2007 to 2011 and North-East 2011 to 2015 and South-West 2015 to 2023.

“Now 2023 should have been the turn of the South-East to produce the President of Nigeria but the ongoing events now showed that South-West again has the President and North-East for Vice President.

“The question is, where is the South-East in all this political equation? Where is fairness? Where is equity? Where is brotherhood? Where is justice? Where is one Nation?

“To this end, we sincerely plead with all National Leaders, Political Fathers and elites, the Leadership of APC, PDP, LP, APGA, SDP, YPP and all elected Senators to for once stand for truth, justice, equity and cohesion.

“To support the candidates for South-East to emerge as Senate President that will in a long way heal our divisions, agitations, and discourage any act of National insubordination.”Breakforth said.

He also added that the South-East Presidency will help discourage continuous agitations like IPOB, and others in the South-East.

“We have reputable senators from the South-East such as Senator Osita Izunaso and others that have the capacity to Chairman the National Assembly and bring the balancing and dividend of democracy as Nigerians are clamoring especially from the South-East.

“This coalition will resist and protest against any attempt by APC to zone the Senate Presidency to any other zone other than South-East.

“Further support for disunity, inequality and unfairness is not acceptable as it will continue to worsen National disunity,” he said.

In his remarks, Alhaji Salisu Abdullahi, Pan African Youth, noted that the most important thing for all Nigerians was the unity of this nation.

“The beginning of the crisis in Sudan started because of injustice so we believe that in order for Nigeria to avoid that crisis, there must be Justice for the Southeast,” he said.

Also, Comrade Bello Osaretin, DG, Progressive Leaders Association of Nigeria PLAN-Nigeria commended the Collation for putting up this initiative on the importance of equity.

“It is very important that everyone is put forth in order to have a balanced and more peaceful country,” Osaretin said.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

Social, behaviour change, primary enabler for health promotion — Enahire

By Abujah Racheal

The Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, says Social And Behaviour Change (SBC) is a primary enabler for health promotion in the country.

Ehanire, represented by Mrs Ladidi Bako-Aiyegbusi, Director and Head of Health Promotion Division, FMOH,
said this on Thursday in Abuja.

He spoke at the end of a dissemination meeting of the USAID’s Global Health Bureau flagship, SBC RESEARCH and evaluation project in Nigeria.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the project brought together the expertise of five stellar consortium partners.

The are Population Council (lead), Tulane University, Avenir Health, ideas42, Population Reference Bureau (PRB) and the Institute for Reproductive Health at Georgetown University.

The minister said that an overarching integrated approach, which comprised interpersonal, mid-media and intensive media, including vibrant social media, could serve as catalytic change agents in health promotion in the country.

While commending USAID’s Global Health Bureau and other stakeholders on the project, he said the project would equip the country with the data and evidence it needed to integrate proven and cost-effective social and behaviour change approaches into its programmes.

He said behaviour was a complex phenomenon, influenced by factors within the individual and beyond.

He said this was why the key evidence and insights from the project would be prioritised in the country’s Strategic Plan for Health Promotion Review by 2024.

Ms Sarah Werth, USAID Deputy Mission Director, said Breakthrough RESEARCH catalysed SBC by conducting state-of-the-art research and evaluation and promoting evidence-based solutions to improve health and development programmes around the world.

Werth said this was in partnership with a range of stakeholders, Breakthrough RESEARCH was identifying key evidence gaps and developing consensus-driven research agenda to guide priority investments in SBC RESEARCH Programmes, and policy.

She said that the project was positively shifting health-seeking behaviours, improving provider behaviour, and fostering supportive social norms.

“Using cutting-edge research and evaluation methods, Breakthrough RESEARCH is addressing key questions related to SBC programming.

Such questions included: “What works?” “How can it work best?” “How much does it cost?” “Is it cost-effective?” “How can it be replicated, scaled, and sustained locally?”

Dr Paul Hutchinson, Technical Lead, Breakthrough RESEARCH, Nigeria Tulane University, New Orleans, said the aim was to assess the effectiveness of integrated versus malaria-only SBC on malaria, family planning, MNCH+N behaviours and ideations among pregnant women and those with under 2 years children.

Hutchinson said that Behavioural Sentinel Surveillance (BSS) measured priority behavioural outcomes, including
Malaria and family planning.

He said that BSS measured psychosocial influences or ideations – cognitive, emotional, social – theorised as intermediate determinants of behavioural outcomes.

He said that the study populations were pregnant women and women with a child under 2 years living within Breakthrough ACTION programme areas in the 3 states (not representative at the state level).

He said that the study design was a cross-sectional and cohort components quasi-experimental and dose-response design and was conducted in September 2019, with midline and end-line plan.

He said that the sample size was 3,032 pregnant women and 3,043 women with a child under 2 years.

The sample methods were 108 wards across three states; census of pregnant women and random selection of women with children under 2 years.

According to him, data analysis, predicted probabilities of outcomes were derived, using mixed-effects logistic regression models adjusted for ideational and sociodemographic variables – wealth, age, education and employment (respondent and spouse).

He said that the BSS baseline results were a first step for assessing the effectiveness and cost- benefit of integrated versus malaria-only SBC programs in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, Dr Laura Reichenbach, Breakthrough RESEARCH Project Director, Population Council Washington, said USAID/Nigeria invested in Breakthrough-Research/Nigeria (B-R/N), since 2019.

It was aimed to expand the evidence-based on integrated, multi-component health Programme and address priority programmatic research questions pertaining to SBC for Maternal and Child Health/Family Planning and Reproductive Health and malaria.

Reichenbach said that B-R/N would work closely with its sister project, Breakthrough ACTION/Nigeria (B-A/N), to generate evidence that informed programme implementation and adaptation.

She said that B-A/N was implementing SBC programming in eleven states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

“B-R/N will work in a subset of these states, with a particular focus on those states where B-A/N implements integrated and malaria-only SBC Programmes (Sokoto, Kebbi, Bauchi, Zamfara).

“B-R/N Project is wrapping up its project activities in the country and it’s part of the end-of-project activities,” she said.

NOA, CODE  collaborate to improve civic space  for sustainable democracy

By Angela Atabo

Connected Development (CODE) is to collaborate with the National Orientation Agency (NOA) towards addressing and improving Nigeria’s shrinking civic space for sustainable democracy.

CODE in partnership with the National Orientation Agency (NOA), with support from the OXFAM held a dialogue geared towards analysing the trends and drivers of shrinking civic space under the Digital Media and Communications for Civic Inclusion Project.

The Director-General of NOA,  Garba Abari, said that expanding the civic space was actually not a concern for Nigerian alone but a global issue.

Abari said this therefore, calls for the need to deepen the democratic space.

“You cannot be talking about deepening the civic space without taking in concomitant terms the democratic space and this is of great importance.

“When we are talking about expanding the democratic space , we are talking about the inclusion, however, that does not necessarily mean allowing people to come out and vote during elections after every four years.

“We are talking about inclusion of vulnerable groups, like youths ,women and persons with disabilities.”

Abari said that to achieve such inclusion , there was need to therfore implement the Disabilities Act and political parties needed to be imbibe internal democracy to strengthen participation of women and youths in politics for sustainable democracy.

Also speaking, Mr Hamzat Lawal, Chief Executive  of CODE, noted that the Digital Media and Communications for Civic Inclusion Project was aimed at harnessing the power of the media and civil society to address some of the factors contributing to the shrinkage of the civic space.

“We all know and can agree that the role of civil society is crucial to our democracy, CSOs provides essential services, helps and advocates for victims, monitors human rights and collects evidence of violations to hold powers responsible to account.

“CSOs helps in a way to stabilise and preserve our democracy, but for doing this, civil society comes under attack, and these attacks are coming from different angles. ”

Lawal added that fake news, misinformation, disinformation were undermining Nigeria’s democracy and truncating national unity.

“We have seen in countless ways how disinformation can be used to influence negative and extremist views, a good example is the just concluded elections.

“There are also different attempts to counter fake news and disinformation with fact checking initiatives but fact-checking initiatives are only a first step.”

Lawal however, said that the challenge remained ineffective collaboration of the media and civil society to counter disinformation .

He said that this must include better regulation of the social media and technology industry, developed through participatory processes and including safeguards for freedom of expression.

Contributing, the Executive Secretary, National Human Rights Commission, Mr Tony Ojukwu,SAN, said that the civic space was shrinking in Nigeria due to non-observation of regional and international instruments that guaranteed the protection of the right to freedom.

Ojukwu represented by Mrs Agharese Arase Director, Corporate Affairs and External Linkages, said that censorship and restrictions violate the fundamental rights of citizens to freedom of opinion and expression.

He said that arbitrary arrest ,detention ,politically motivated criminal charges and sedition laws further shrink the civic space .

He said that it was the duty of the media to to avail the society with information on matters of public interest, create platforms for scrutiny, public debate and reflection .

He said that the gains of allowing a free civic space far outweighs any effort at shrinking it because shrinking civic space may lead to undemocratic practices and lack of transparency in governance.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the event was aimed at identifying ways to educate the masses on the role and value of civil society and the civic space.

The roundtable discussion was one of the first steps towards defending and expanding the shrinking civic space in Nigeria by focusing on the reorientation of the masses and building the capacity of key stakeholders.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

Speaker: Choose candidate with high moral standards, experience- Coalition

By Naomi Sharang

Coalition of Northern Front, South-West Professionals and Arewa Youth Groups has called on leadership of the All Progressives Congress(APC) to choose a Speaker hopeful with reputation and experience.

Mr Tijjani Abdulmumuni, President Arewa Youth Group, who spoke on behalf of the coalition, said the coalition was in support of a lawmaker from the South-East for the sake of equity.

He, however, said whoever the party would support from the region, should be someone with high moral standard and experience.

“We have watched with keen interest the number of actors contesting the position of the Speaker, especially from the South- East.

“In pursuance of balancing and preservation of Nigeria’s sanctity, we believe the leadership should be zoned to that region.

“However, in doing so, equity, justice and fairness should be applied.

“This is because whoever will possibly emerge speaker from the South-East becomes as much an issue of interest to the country, the APC and the South-East,”he said.

Abdulmumini, further said, whoever will be approved to contest for the position should be able to fit into the “shoes of the present Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila.”

According to him, Gbajabiamila has raised the bar of leadership, saying it is important to sustain the tempo.

“Gbajabiamila’s outing has made the choosing of a worthy successor all the more inevitable.

“So, any lowering of the present standard will speak of a relapse and an inexcusable let down for the country and the House.

“Therefore, among the criteria that should guide the House members in the choice they make is their contributions to the success of the party during the last election,”he said.

He further said, “we require not just men of impeccable character but also the best heads to salvage the country.”

“As experienced political players and stakeholders, we are all aware that the National Assembly is the ‘engine room’ of the success of any government.

“Not that alone, we must be reminded that the growth of our democracy owed much to quality of leadership we produce in our parliament.

“A party that fails to get the leadership of the National Assembly right may not witness major development.”(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

NECLive celebrates 10th anniversary, introduces new concepts

By Taiye Olayemi

NECLive, a West African annual conference of creative industry professionals has introduced a new multi-venue and global format as it celebrates 10th anniversary.
 
 
Ayeni Adekunle, Founder of NECLive, made this known in a statement on Thursday in Lagos.
 
NECLive brings together music artistes, comedians, Nollywood artistes  and other stakeholders in the entertainment industry such as producers, marketers, creative arts and media professionals for a full day of conversations, workshops, exhibitions and master classes
 
Adekunle said after 10 years in a single city, the conference would now hold simultaneously in other parts of Nigeria and in key cities across Africa, Europe, and America.
 
According to him, these changes are a matter of necessity, given where the industry is today; and in line with the new challenges and opportunities on the horizon.
 
“When we conceived the idea for an annual conference 10 years ago, it was out of frustration.
 
“Frustration about lack of education, about piracy, about lack of platforms, access and opportunities for entertainment practitioners to monetise their talent at scale.
 
“Today, most of those problems have largely been solved but we are now faced with even bigger problems and opportunities.
 
“I believe that it’s time to begin the work of making sure Africa’s creators and everyone else in the value chain; as well as our societies and economies, get the maximum possible value from our contribution and growing participation in the global entertainment marketplace,” he said

According to Adekunle, from 2024, the new NECLive will hold over the course of a month, from April to May every year.
 
He explained that it would begin with a flagship event in Lagos, and run through cities like Abuja, Port Harcourt, Calabar, and Ibadan.
 
He said the event would also run through London and Edinburgh in the United Kingdom; Atlanta and New York in U.S., as well as other key African cities like Nairobi, Accra and Johannesburg, among others.
 
He said that NECLive was founded in 2013 and had provided a sustained platform for conversations and interventions for an industry that has fought against all odds to survive and thrive.
 
He said the annual conference had hosted 11 events that have seen over 100,000 participants, reaching an audience of over 100 million in more than 30 countries with over 40 broadcast hours.
 
According to him, NECLive has generated over 100 partners, sponsors and brokered more than 700 deals.
 
Adekunle said NECLive would henceforth present a global showcase of the African entertainment experience.
 
He said this would be for the benefit of platforms, labels, investors, brands, businesses, talents, governments, and other stakeholders.
 
“The industry, even the whole world has changed a lot since we kicked off NECLive in 2013.

“Having realised that most of the frustrations that led us to found NECLive have since been solved, I believe it is now time to face newer, bigger battles.
 
“We wanted some standardisation around distribution, now we have it. We wanted access to bigger markets and opportunities to monetise and it’s already happening.
 
“We wanted honour, recognition and acknowledgement. It is happening; It is still early days but it is already happening. But what does it mean? Where is it headed? How do we benefit individually and collectively sustainably? What happens next?
“We are spending the next 10 years of NECLive answering these questions and more.
“And to do that well, we have to overhaul the entire format. So, starting April 24, 2024, we will decentralise the platform, hosting shows and workshops and exhibitions and more all over the world,” he said.
Adekunle noted that the flagship events in Lagos and other Nigerian cities will be retained.
“But no matter where you are in the world, the plan is for you to be able to witness the African entertainment experience.
“This is from the point of view of carefully selected professionals who have given and continue to give everything it takes to build what I am convinced will shape up to be the most successful creative industry in the world.
 
“NECLive will now be presented annually by Africa Creative Foundation, an invite-only membership-based organisation to be launched this summer. (NAN) (nannews.ng)

GMO: Biotechnology agency solicits medical practitioners support

48 total views today

By Bukola Adewumi

Prof. Abdullahi Mustapha, Director-General, National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA), has solicited medical practitioners support to educate Nigerians on the safety of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO).

Abdullahi made the appeal at a one-day sensitisation programme for medical practitioners in Abuja with the theme “Science, Safety and Benefits of Agricultural Biotechnology Products”.

“Nigeria is faced with challenges of rapid population growth and urbanisation hence the need to double food production by 2050. In essence, Nigeria is growing poorer, and the agricultural environment is deteriorating.

“Seed varieties perform low, are obsolete and do not correspond to the new climatic factors. There is high pressure of insect pests and diseases; soil fertility is low with lack of capital funding for investments,” he said.

Abdullahi urged the medical practitioners and other critical stakeholders to support the Federal Government’s drive in enhancing food production and availability to deepen Nigeria’s biotechnology experience.

According to him, the country requires modern technology for an increased and sustainable food production.

The D-G said it was important that medical practitioners be enlightened on the safety gauges put in place to ensure that technology deployment did not harm Nigerians and the environment.

He said that biotechnology deployment in Nigeria had yielded enormous fruits, given a number of genetically modified crops that had been successfully developed and commercialised, with a good number of others at various stages of development.

In a presentation, Dr Rose Gidado, Director, Department of Agricultural Biotechnology at NABDA, said the workshop was expected to bridge all existing information gaps between agricultural scientists and medical practitioners on activities of GMOs.

Gidado noted that scientists through biotechnology have succeeded in using living organisms and biological processes to improve life on earth.

She said that biotechnology application had become very necessary in almost all sectors of the economy, especially in the health sector where various vaccines are saving lives.

According to her, the application of biotechnology cuts across various fields ranging from medicine to industry, environment and agriculture.

Gidado said that the agriculture sector serves as the resource factor for other sectors including medicine, industry and environment.

The one-day sensitisation workshop, which was organised in collaboration with relevant stakeholders and regulators, included Programme for Biosafety Systems (PBS).

The stakeholders are: the African Agricultural Technology Foundation, Nigerian Medical Association, National Biosafety Management Agency, National Agricultural Seed Council, National Agricultural Quarantine Service, and Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Council. (NAN)
