  • C’River State Consumer Protection Agency, Hausa Community Agrees On Collaboration

    By Admin

    As part of efforts to ensure adequate protection of residents of Cross River state from intake of fake, sub standard and unhygienic products, the Director General of Cross River state Consumer Protection Agency, Prince Charles Ushie has solicited the support of the Hausa Fulani Community in fostering safety measures for a hygienic society.

    Ushie spoke while on a courtesy visit to the Head of the Hausa Fulani Community in Cross River State, Sarki Salisu Abba Lawal II, stressed on the need for collaborative sensitization as primary source of fighting for consumer protection.

    In his words “the agency is against any product that causes harm to public health. We have a Governor who is passionate about protection of people under his watch and that necessitated the making of Consumer protection Agency which initially operated only as a department under ministry of trade and investment.

    “We also know that product such as palm oil, meat and other consumables are processed by the Hausa people thereby making them, vital stake holders of the agency”

    Reacting, Sarki Salisu Abba Lawal II, applauded the DG of Consumer protection Agency and his Entourage for cueing into Governor Ayade’s lofty leadership pattern, known for quality, speed and up to date with standard best practices.

    The Sarki said “According to our own estimation, we see every effort by Sen Prof Ben Ayade as people oriented. Every Hausa Fulani man will attest to the fact that never in the history of governance have we secured so much appointment as it is done by the present administration.

    Seen Prof Ben Ayade is our Governor and we must support his administration”. He avarred.

    On the need to form sensitization teams at Community level, Sarki Salisu Abba Lawal II promised to start the sensitization in calabar before stepping up same to other Hausa Fulani settlements across the state. “it is obvious, our people are not Aware of their expectations and roles in the consumer protection process”.He added

    Highlights of the visit include group photograph and presentation of pamphlets to Cross River State leader of the Hausa Fulani Community.

  • Ebonyi PDP Caretaker Committee Chairman Addressed Press At Wadata House, Abuja

    By PDP Press

    Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of the Press and welcome to the Press conference of the Ebonyi State Chapter of the PDP. This Press conference is going on in Wadata House partly because, as you all know, the Ebonyi State PDP leadership is a caretaker committee created by the National Executive Committee of our great Party to superintend the affairs of the Party in Ebonyi State, until a formal congress is conducted to elect competent men and women who will lead the Party in Ebonyi State.

    Ever since our inauguration in this same hall on the 23rd day of November 2020, we have steered the affairs of our great Party in Ebonyi State with dedication and commitment. With the support and collaboration of our stakeholders, we have stabilised the Party, given a sense of hope and direction to our teeming members, and for the first time in a long time, members are having a breath of fresh air. I am, therefore, very proud to announce to you that it is a new dawn for the Peoples Democratic Party in Ebonyi State.

    STATE SPONSORED LITIGATIONS AGAINST THE PDP IN EBONYI STATE

    Ever since Governor Dave Umahi’s solo defection from the PDP to the APC, our great Party has been inundated with a slew of state sponsored court actions all aimed at derailing the Caretaker Committee set up by the NEC of our great Party. As we all know, Governor Dave Umahi’s illusion had been that Ebonyi people would defect with him to the APC. He had boasted that PDP stakeholders and members of the National Assembly would defect with him. When this failed, the reaction from Governor Umahi has been to derail and destroy the Caretaker Committee by filing a suit at the State High Court, asking the Court not to recognise this Caretaker Committee. A summary of the history of this suit, No. HAB/161/2020 is that three Ebonyi State High Court judges have recused themselves from handling the case. However, the latest recusal by Justice Vincent Nwanchor on Wednesday, the 20th January 2021, did not go down well with Governor Dave Umahi. Apparently believing that Ebonyi State Judges must do his bidding no matter the frivolity or unconstitutional nature of their claim, Governor Umahi instigated his “Akubaraoha” mob to attack the High Court premises. In an attack reminiscent of the Trump-inspired storming of the US Capitol, Governor Umahi instigated a mob to take over the High Court premises at Abakaliki. Lives of lawyers and judges were put at risk. Property belonging to Ebonyi State judiciary was destroyed. It took the efforts of the Ebonyi State Police Command and other security Agencies to restore calm and prevent the complete burning down of the Ebonyi State High Court complex.

    VICTORY FOR PDP AND THE URGENT NEED FOR GOVERNOR DAVE UMAHI AND HIS APC THUGS TO VACANT THE EABONYI STATE PDP SECRETARIAT.

    I am proud to inform you that in a twist of fate, as Governor Dave Umahi unleashed his mob to burn down the Ebonyi State High Court complex, here in Abuja, it was victory for the PDP in suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1609/2020, HON. FRED UDOGU and 10 others V Barr Onyekachi Nwebonyi and 4 others. In that suit, Justice I. E. EKWO of the Abuja Federal High Court gave an order restraining Dave Umahi’s faction of the PDP led by Barr Onyekachi Nwebonyi from parading themselves as officers of the Party.

    With this legitimate order of a court of competent jurisdiction, it is hoped that Governor Dave Umahi will step back a bit and have a deep reflection and discontinue fanning the embers of crisis in Ebonyi State.

    We wish to use this opportunity to call on the Inspector General of Police, the Director of State Security Services to protect the members and legitimate officers of the PDP in Ebonyi State, and hold Governor Dave Umahi accountable for any break down of law and order in Ebonyi State. Governor Dave Umahi’s goal is to control PDP and APC in Ebonyi State by sheer brute force. But the good people of Ebonyi State who are predominantly members of the PDP, are not prepared to be victims of brute force and dictatorship, and will continue to fight for their political freedom. Thank you for honouring our Press conference and may God continued to bless our great Party, the Peoples Democratic Party.

    Chief Fred Udeogu,
    Chairman, PDP Ebonyi State.

    4. Furthermore, upon interrogation by the police in Gombe State, suspects voluntarily confessed that they usually steal the children and bring to their sponsor, one Mrs Nkechi Odinye, here in Anambra State, who buys each child at the rate of between two hundred and four hundred thousand naira (#200 to 400,000), depending on their age bracket and gender.

  • Christiano Ronaldo Breaks Record, Becomes All Time Top Goal Scorer

    By Admin

    Cristiano Ronaldo has made in history to become the all-time top goalscorer in football after he scored for Juventus in it clash against Napoli.

    The 35-year-old was expected to reach the stunning landmark against Inter on Sunday after edging closer to history by scoring against Sassuolo last week to level to record but failed to get on the score sheet in the 2-0 loss.

    Instead, the legendary Juve forward waited for the big occasion in the Italian Super Cup and duly delivered against Gennaro Gattuso’s men as he found the back of the net in the 64th minute sending his special career to new incredible heights. A corner was swung over and Napoli fluffed their lines leaving Ronaldo with the perfect opportunity to thump into the net left-footed.

    That effort moved him above Josef Bican with the Austrian-Czech striker scoring 759 goals between 1931 and 1955.

    Only his eternal rival Lionel Messi looks capable of surpassing his record. The Barcelona and Argentina superstar has 715 career goals for club and country but has played just under 150 games fewer so far and, being two years Ronaldo’s junior, has time on his side.

    However, for now this record belongs to Ronaldo. The forward, who turns 36 on February 5, has written his name in the record books across a career that has seen him excel at Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and Portugal.

    On January 3, Ronaldo moved himself above three-time Brazil World Cup winner Pele (757 career goals) into second on this list following a brace in a 4-1 Serie A home win over Udinese

In 2018 the regained the provisional status with all its limitations, which has now been converted to a full accreditation status with an increase bench mark from 40 students intake to 100 in school of nursing Calabar and from 50 to 75 in the other two schools.
