FCTA, GAIN sign MoU on access to affordable, nutritious food

 

By Justina Auta

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) and Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) have signed an MoU to improve access to affordable, safe and nutritious food in the FCT.

Nyesom Wike, FCT Minister, while signing the documents on Tuesday in Abuja, said the initiative would boost sustainable development and address issues around food insecurity, as well as improve the health of the people.

Wike, who was represented by Mr Chidi Amadi, his Chief of Staff, said: “there is no better time to have this than now when we have issues of malnutrition.

“Today is not just a mere show but the collaborative efforts we just endorsed will translate to useful results, dividends that will reflect in the lives of people in the FCT, especially those in area councils.

“We enjoin you to ensure that all that needs to be done in the campaign to drive this process are put in place.

“Improving nutrition is very key especially now that food scarcity has become a serious challenge in our country.”

Mr Ubokutom Nyah, Mandate Secretary, Economic Planning, Revenue Generation and Public-Private Partnership (EPRGPPP) said the partnership would strengthen value chains, empower primary-schools with nutritious food and improve food security.

“This MoU will pave the way for interventions that have long-term benefits for the health and well-being of our pupil’s and residents especially those who are below the pyramid.

”It will improve access to fortified foods, enhanced nutrition education and the development of sustainable agricultural practices.

“It will also contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to zero hunger, good health and economic growth,” he said.

Dr Michael Ojo, Country Director, GAIN, said the three-year plan would foster a healthier food environment, reduce malnutrition and promote sustainable food systems for improved food security, access to safe, affordable and nutritious food.

“The multidimensional index report released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in 2022 highlights that the FCTA is the 11th least poor region of government in Nigeria ranking by states.

“This means that there are 10 other states that are doing better than the FCTA, when you look at what constitutes the multidimensional poverty in the FCT, nutrition is the biggest component.

“I think it is appropriate that we are looking at this as a major problem and we are supporting the FCTA to deal with it.

“If we are able to design projects and programmes that tackle some of the underlining causes of malnutrition then we hope to see the health status of FCT residents improve,” he said.

Ojo explained that the key areas of collaboration include: building capacity on project management, advocacy and resource mobilisation, promote the adoption of biofortified crop varieties to address malnutrition.

Others are: support the Home-Grown School Feeding Programme (HGSFP), implementing human-centered design approaches in social protection programmes and strengthening food safety measures and nutrition-related policies. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

Centre partners education board on geriatric caregivers training

 

By Kelechi Ogunleye

The National Senior Citizens Centre (NSCC) in collaboration with the National Board for Technical Education (NBTC) has trained 28 geriatric caregivers in social care skills.

Dr Emem Omokaro, the NSCC Director-General (D-G), speaking at the training on Wednesday in Abuja, said the trainees were nominees from the public and private health sectors in Nigeria.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the training was tagged “Inaugural Training Programme for Quality Assurance Assessors Certification in Geriatric Social Care Skills”.

Omokaro stated that the participants marked the first batch to be trained and certified as quality assurance assessors in geriatric caregiving in Nigeria.

She said that the trainees ranged from consultant family physicians, heads of geriatrics units in states, health professors, owners of care homes, among others.

“They are to be trained as quality assurance assessors who speak with competency, such as attitudes.

“We are developing a care quality system in the country by establishing standards and quality with partners.

“This is because our older persons deserve it, and the caregivers deserve the dignity to be recognised and formalised into a workforce.

“Nigeria deserves to have a geriatric industry, which will help grow her economy by also providing employment opportunities,” she said.

According to the D-G, caring for older persons is a skill, hence the importance of training those in the geriatric, educational, and health sectors at large.

“It is a journey of a thousand miles, but we have progressively taken steps, and we know the government can’t do it alone, so we are doing our possible best.

“What we are promoting is the ‘domiciliary care agency’, which means we accredit, train, and license agencies who operate such geriatric services, then certify them so that they can effectively train their workers.

“The caregivers must know how to do their jobs effectively when attending to older people,” the D-G reiterated.

Mr Suleiman Yusuf, NBTC Director of Vocational, Technical, and Skills Development, said the training certificate was of international standard.

“The training is demanding, and it is not easy, as it is being supervised by the board, so we need to get it right to deliver what is needed to produce a quality workforce.

“The benchmark is for them to be occupationally competent, as they are the ones to manage those who will be caregivers to the elderly,” Yusuf said.

Mr Ali Pate, Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, said the training and certification marked the beginning of standardisation of care for the aged.

The minister, represented by Dr John Ovuoraye, the Ministry’s Head of Gender, Adolescent, School Health, and Elderly Division, said that Nigeria is lagging behind in the standardisation of the geriatric sector.

“The elderly population in Nigeria is increasing, and we do not want to lose our elderly ones, so we need to build a healthcare system of our dreams.

“We need to applaud those driven by passion to start this here and ensure it is standardised,” he said.

One of the beneficiaries, Prof. Ita Okokon, said as a Consultant Family Physician and a gerontology lecturer, he appreciates the training, as it will better equip him in his area of specialisation.

“This training will enhance my practice because most of what we have been taught is practical,” he said.

Okokon, however, urged the Federal Government to empower the NSCC, adding that it would aid the establishment of centres at the state level.(NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

Tinubu transforming Nigeria through health – Pate

By Olaide Ayinde

Prof. Muhammad Pate, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, says President Bola Tinubu is transforming the country’s health sector for better quality service delivery.

Pate said this in Bauchi on Friday, during the groundbreaking of 10 MedServe’s oncology and diagnostic centres at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital in Bauchi.

According to him, the president is investing so much in the health sector to ensure every Nigerian has access to quality healthcare service delivery across the country.

“Mr President is very clear, he wants to transform this country. He wants to change the direction of this country, and we are fortunate that he picked health as one of those areas.

“In just one year, he has done what has not been done in the history of this country in the health sector.

“He has launched many initiatives and building on what Medserve has done. We are seeing 10 major infrastructural projects with the groundbreaking that is happening.

“In 12 months, we will start opening them all across Nigeria.

“There are 6,000 centres that Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority(NSIA), is doing, and I think the money is available and those too would be completed within 12 to 18 months, they will be opened,” he said.

He also said that Tinubu had undertaken the retraining of 120,000 frontline health workers, adding that 10,000 of them had been retrained across the country including in Bauchi.

Also speaking, Dr Tolulope Adewole, Managing Director, Medserve, said between 2020 and now, Medserve had attended to 131,000 patients in NSIA Kano diagnostic centre with evidential testimonies.

He explained that close to 700,000 individual tests had been done in Medserve’s diagnostic centres, adding that centres would be created in Umuahia and Abia,

“As we hope to inaugurate this one in Bauchi, in another 12 to 15 months, this project’s doors would never be closed and that the patients of Bauchi would join that number, and they would have a testimonial of what is going to happen.

“We have just three things that we do, equity, access and quality, and our goal is to demonstrate equitable access.

“All lives are equal and the same quality service you get in other places would be getting here,” he said.

In his address, Bauchi Governor, Sen. Bala Mohammed, said that his administration would soon expend N25 billion on the state Specialist Hospital to complement the medical services at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital.

He appreciated Tinubu for deepening inclusion and thank him for capturing Bauchi in his Renewed Hope Agenda.

“We want poverty and anger to go and this kind of initiative is also reducing anger.

“On behalf of myself and indeed all the governors in the various states of the federation where this programme is coming, we are happy with the Federal Government,” he said. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

World class golf facility ‘ll groom future “Tiger Woods” – NGF

By Victor Okoye

The President, Nigeria Golf Federation (NGF), Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, says the world class facility of the Golf and Health Signature (GHS) in Abuja would groom Nigerian professionals who would become “Tiger Woods” in future.

Runsewe stated this on the sidelines of a retreat organised by the IBB Ladies Golf Section (LGS) at the GHS in Abuja on Friday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the GHS boasts of one of the best golf training and health facilities in the world.

The NGF boss said the GHS was a unique golfing facility and the first of its kind in the country, adding that it was the only place one could learn how to play golf in less than two weeks.

He said that the facility was a unique one that will change that history line, adding that it boasts of a world class training environment, equipment and provisions required for proper golfing.

“Golf is no longer manual. It is an IT based sport and this is the major reason why most of us don’t play good golf in the country.

“This is because it is all about your body adapting to the tenants and techniques of the game, and once you get that right, it sticks forever.

“Most of us started playing golf between the ages 45 and 50 years when the body is already stiff.

“You can imagine that there is no single Nigerian playing golf in any circuit anywhere in the world

“So, what I want to achieve right here in this facility is to start grooming Nigerian professionals  that will go on to become the Tiger Woods of the future,” he said.

He said that the retreat by the 2024/2025 LGS Executive Committee members was a welcome development and an Initiative that should be sustained.

“I’d like to commend the IBB LGS for being unique, taking the initiative and bringing innovation into the golfing community.

“The retreat is unique and I commend them. That’s why I am giving them all the support for this to be successful.

“Only when Nigerians go abroad do they have this kind of opportunity to organise a retreat for playing golf, but today I am excited it’s happening right in Abuja.

“So for me, it’s a new beginning for us and I commend the organisers and I hope this won’t be the end as we continue to build from strength to strength,” he said.

Dame Julie Donli, the Lady Captain of IBB International Golf and Country Club, Abuja said the retreat was to equip the 2024/2025 LGS executive committee team for the job ahead.

“We are already four months into our one year tenure.This retreat is therefore to equip us and to get us ready for the job.

“We are having different presentations by various experts and resource persons on different topics.

“Some of the topics include, leadership, emotional intelligence, how to deal with and speak to your team members as well as members of the Golf club generally.

“These are skills that are very difficult to imbibe as human beings, but with constant continuous learning, we hope to improve in these areas.

“So, this is indeed a very important segment of our one year tenure and we are here to learn to be better versions of ourselves,” she said.

Donli expressed her gratitude to the NGF president for choosing to host the IBB LGS executive members at his facility.

She said that the facility was a unique one that was equipped with a lot of rich history and artefacts as well as world class training and health equipment.

“Our host today, Otunba Runsewe, has been so gracious and he has done so well by inviting us to his facility for free.

“Everything we are doing here is on a pro bono basis, he hasn’t charged us for anything and he’s got one of the best facilities I have ever come across.

“It’s not so huge but I tell you it has a lot. We’ve been to the indoor golf gallery, the museum, and we’ve seen what a lot of people cannot imagine that we have in this country.

”I didn’t even know that we had what I saw and urge people to come here to see for themselves, so as to understand what I am talking about,” she said.(NAN)

COVID-19 transforming the world- Pate

 

By Folasade Akpan

The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social welfare, Prof. Ali Pate, says pandemics transform the world and that of COVID-19 is already underway.

Pate said this on Thursday in Abuja at the launch of a book titled “An Imperfect Storm”.

The book was written by Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, former Director-General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC), and his wife, Mrs Vivianne Ihekweazu.

According to Pate, traditionally, pandemics have almost always resulted in transformation of societies.

“Right from the ancient Greek periods, pandemics resulted in major transformations.

“The Greeks suffered from it, the Romans suffered from it. The plague, thousands of years ago, resulted in transformations, HIV resulted in some transformation.

“Now we have experienced COVID, and it is transforming the world. It’s a one in a hundred year pandemic, and the transformation is already underway.

“We are emerging into a world of greater facility, economic upheavals, but also acceleration in encounters with new pathogens,” he added.

While citing cases of different pandemics that the world experienced from the 1990s to the present time, the minister said that pandemics are here to stay.

“What it tells us is that we are marching our way into a world where new pathogens are crossing over, and they encounter the next crisis. It could be anywhere for us to see, so it’s not if but when.”

He, however, commended Ihekweazu for his work in building NCDC and championing the containment of COVID-19 in Nigeria, adding “it is going to be one of the significant hallmarks in our effort to respond when the next storm shows up”.

One of the authors, Mr Ihekweazu, said that it was very important to strengthen health response in order to be able to handle pandemics when they come.

Citing an example with Nigeria’s handling of the Ebola virus in 2014, he said that the country, using various approaches was much sensitised to the emergence of the disease and had a good response to it.

He, however, said the experience caused the nation a lot of harm.

“The harm it has caused us is that we spent the next five years celebrating our heroic Ebola response and so by the time I started at NCDC in 2016, there was nothing left because we believed we had done a great job.

“We had no national reference plan, so everything we had put together for the response was gone.

“In reflecting on how we emerged from this, I think the challenge for us, whether we have a good response or a bad response, it’s not to think we have nothing to worry about, it’s to continue.

“We have started and documented progress, but our collective challenge is to make sure that when the next one comes, and it will come, that the NCDC is not where it is today.”

The co-author, Mrs Ihekweazu said that the book was not just about sharing the story so others could learn about what they did at the time, but to also tell the story.

“Sharing that story is very important because it’s not just about how we responded or how others can learn what we do, but we have to learn to tell our stories,” she said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the book, which is the authors personal narrative of Nigeria’s COVID-19 response, is aimed at supporting public sector leadership and all those participating in building institutions and organisations.

In attendance at the launch were the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, former Minister of State for Health, Sen. Olorunnimbe Mamora, and Dr Sani Aliyu, former National Coordinator, Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19.

Others are former governor of Ekiti State, Mr Kayode Fayemi, former governor of Delta, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa and the D-G of NCDC, Dr Jide Idris. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

NGO seeks more blood donors to save lives

Blood
By Sarafina Christopher and Eletta Mercy
Jela Development Initiative (JDI), an NGO, has appealed to the public to donate blood to address the shortage of blood supply in hospitals and healthcare facilities nationwide.

The NGO made the appeal during a blood drive on Saturday in Abuja.

The blood drive, in collaboration with the National Blood Service Commission (NBSC) and Rotary Club of Abuja is themed “Be a hero, donate blood and save lives.”

The Chief Executive Officer of the NGO, Mrs Angela Omeiza, stressed the importance of providing blood donations to aid patients in life-threatening conditions.

Omeiza, represented by the NGO’s Programme Assistant, Ms Oluchi Ihezie, said that blood donation is a noble and selfless act that impact on people’s lives.

“The organisation is dedicated to promoting voluntary blood donations, recognising the challenges many face in accessing blood due to its high cost.”

Omeiza further stated that there was a surging demand for blood not only within the nation but also across the continent and globally.

“Patients requiring blood, such as those grappling with severe illnesses like cancer or undergoing intensive medical treatments, heavily rely on blood transfusions for their survival.”

Also, Mrs Omotayo Ottun, Donor Recruiter NBSC, pointed out that blood donors not only contribute to a life-saving cause but also benefit from comprehensive medical check-ups prior to donation.

“The main targets of the donation are the excess blood in your system, which the body is not using, a sachet of that blood after every three months for men and four months for women can save three people’s lives.

“Donations also help to produce new red blood cells making it more active in your system, it helps burn calories and also regulates the heart effectively,” Ottun said.

Mr Theophilus Apeh, representing the Rotary Club of Abuja Federal, commended blood donors for their invaluable contributions to the humanitarian endeavour.

Apeh also urged the relevant authorities to ensure that donated blood reached patients in need without imposing any financial burdens.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that an anonymous first-time blood donor shared her experience in partaking in the noble cause and overcoming initial apprehensions surrounding blood donation.

She also expressed appreciation for the rigorous screening procedures carried out to ensure donor eligibility and blood safety.(NAN) (www.nannews.com.ng)

Health: Don gives back to community in Imo

By Peter Okolie

Prof. Peter Akah, a professor of Pharmacology, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, has organised a free healthcare services to over 1,000 residents of Okporo Community in Orlu Local Government Area of the state.

 

Akah, former acting Vice Chancellor, Imo State University, who hails from the community, also inaugurated a Clinic in the area.

 

He said that the project was initiated to address the health challenges of the vulnerable members of Umunyem-Umuebele Village in Okporo Community, especially the aged, women and children.

 

“Sincerely, if I had 20 calls in a day, 18 of them ask for money to buy drugs, not even food. I know how much it is to pay for consultancy, let alone hospital bills and I can imagine what people in the village go through,” Akah said.

 

According to him, many of the villagers are moving around with malaria and typhoid, prostate cancer, ulcer, diabetes and partial stroke without proper medical attention.

 

Reacting to the development, the President of the town’s union, Chief John Egolu, thanked Akah for the health outreach and establishment of a clinic in the area.

 

“A visit to the facility shows that there are beds and full theatre for surgery and there is a promise that more equipment would be brought, subsequently.

 

“This vision of our dear son, Prof. Akah, is that which will in no small measure help our people, especially by getting healthcare services closer to them,” he said.

 

A 67-year-old stroke patient, Mr Charles Okechukwu, said the gesture was “God sent to help the less privileged in the community. We have never seen this type of medical care in our village.”

 

Another beneficiary of the health mission, Mrs Fidelia Ibemike, 89, said the health facility had brought healthcare services closer to the people.

 

Ibemike said that the facility would reduce the sufferings usually encountered in traveling to other communities for medical treatment.

 

She said that many aged persons have died in their homes because they lacked the money to seek medical attention.(NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
