In a statement issued by the Hajia Kori Abba Habib, Media and Communication Specialist UNFPA, the agency commissioned the rehabilitated Goronyo General Hospital operating theatre and patient ward, as part of a comprehensive approach by UNFPA to increase access to fistula care for indigent patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This includes the earlier commissioning in March 2020 of the rehabilitated operating theatre and patient ward at the Maryam Abacha Women and Children Hospital in Sokoto metropolis, along with the provision of essential medical equipment and kits as well as the training of healthcare workers on the management of obstetric fistula.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObstetric fistula<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Through this project, UNFPA supports the fistula program in Sokoto State with the aim of restoring the dignity of women and girls living with obstetric fistula and preventing fistula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UNFPA appreciates the contribution of Sokoto State Government and for the continued collaboration towards ending preventable maternal deaths, ending the unmet need for family planning, and ending gender-based violence and all harmful practices, including child marriage and female genital mutilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UNFPA reiterates its commitment to ensuring that every pregnancy is wanted, every child birth is safe, and every young person\u2019s potential is fulfilled. Also, UNFPA is committed to the Federal Government of Nigeria\u2019s vision of becoming a country free of Obstetric Fistula by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UNFPA also thank and appreciate its donor, Global Affairs Canada, for providing funding support for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has warned Nigerians on the need to be wary of fradulent loan offers and investment schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement signed by the bank\u2019s Acting Director of Corporate Communications, Osita Nwanisobi, the apex bank noted that it does not communicate directly with applicants of its financial intervention programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe attention of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has again been drawn to fraudulent messages and videos in social media circles requesting unsuspecting loan seekers and owners of small-scale businesses to apply for loans or investment schemes purportedly facilitated by the Bank, \u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201dWhile the CBN, indeed, has several development finance intervention programmes from which different categories of businesses have benefitted (and still benefitting), it DOES NOT do so through direct interaction with prospective applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor the avoidance of doubt, there are clearly spelt out procedures for accessing CBN intervention funds, which are disbursed through Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs), such as Deposit Money Banks (DMBs), Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and Microfinance Banks (MFBs). The Bank also does not facilitate investment schemes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CBN further stated that it has not appointed any organization to serve as its agent for the purpose of investment or applying for intervention loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bank advised small-scale business owners and youths to approach their respective banks, NIRSAL Micro-Finance Bank or the CBN branch nearest to them for clarification on the procedure for accessing any of the CBN intervention funds.<\/p>\n","post_title":"CBN warns against fraudulent loan offers, investment schemes","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"cbn-warns-against-fraudulent-loan-offers-investment-schemes","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-09 16:25:01","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-09 16:25:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=477","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":542},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};

Opposition parties in this year's presidential election in Cote d'Ivoire have called on President Muhammadu Buhari and other leaders within the West African region and Africa to save the country from sliding into another political crisis. The parties warned that the third term ambition of President Alassane Ouattara if not stopped could plunge the country into political crisis. Ivory Coast is scheduled to go to poll on 31st October 2020. Ouattara has done two terms of dive years as allowed by the country's constitution. However, the Constitutional Council endorsed him for a third term on the ground that the new constitution adopted in 2016 does not take into account the previous two terms as it herald a new Republic. But Mr. Seth Koko, presidential candidate of L' Alternative -CI party who spoke for other candidates said that the participation of President Ouattara in the scheduled poll would only lead the country into another political chaos, as it is an attempt to perpetuate himself in office. Addressing journalists in Abuja on Friday, Loko said the only way out now is for President Ouattara to handover to a transition government who would be appointed by stakeholders to conduct the presidential poll. He said members of the opposition parties do not have confidence in the government to conduct free and fair election. Besides, the opposition parties are calling for the prosponment of the scheduled presidential poll. Koko also called for dissolution of the electoral body, saying that they do not have confidence in the body as currently constituted . He therefore called on international community to save the country to avoid the 2010 bloody experience, which claimed no fewer than 3,000 lives. He said already, members of opposition has called for mass protest against the resident's participation in the presidential poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ivory Coast is scheduled to go to poll on 31st October 2020. Ouattara has done two terms of dive years as allowed by the country's constitution. However, the Constitutional Council endorsed him for a third term on the ground that the new constitution adopted in 2016 does not take into account the previous two terms as it herald a new Republic. But Mr. Seth Koko, presidential candidate of L' Alternative -CI party who spoke for other candidates said that the participation of President Ouattara in the scheduled poll would only lead the country into another political chaos, as it is an attempt to perpetuate himself in office. Addressing journalists in Abuja on Friday, Loko said the only way out now is for President Ouattara to handover to a transition government who would be appointed by stakeholders to conduct the presidential poll. He said members of the opposition parties do not have confidence in the government to conduct free and fair election. Besides, the opposition parties are calling for the prosponment of the scheduled presidential poll. Koko also called for dissolution of the electoral body, saying that they do not have confidence in the body as currently constituted . He therefore called on international community to save the country to avoid the 2010 bloody experience, which claimed no fewer than 3,000 lives. He said already, members of opposition has called for mass protest against the resident's participation in the presidential poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \" In view of the many earning signs of a serious tragedy which seems inevitable in Cote d'Ivoire, and convinced that the current situation in Cote d'Ivoire constitutes serious threat international peace and security in the West African States (ECOWAS) to urgently implement its existing mechanism for conflict prevention and resolutions, in particular Protocol A\/SP1\/12\/01 on Democracy and Good Governance, additional to the protocol relating to the mechanism for prevention, Management, Conflict Resolution, peacekeeping and Security. \"This situation is urgent and deserves the United Nations Security Council to include without delay on its agenda the serious electoral crisis which is already in place in Cote d'Ivoire, mainly due to the violation of the constitution by the incumbent President Alassane Dramane Ouattara who is a candidate for an unconstitutional third term. \"In this regard, by virtue of 're relevant provisions of the Charter of the United Nations, in particular its Chapter 6 relating to the peaceful settlement of disputes and its Chapter 8 relating to regional agreements.

\u2026 Urge Buhari, ECOWAS, AU to stop country from sliding \u2026Calls for prosponment of presidential poll<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opposition parties in this year's presidential election in Cote d'Ivoire have called on President Muhammadu Buhari and other leaders within the West African region and Africa to save the country from sliding into another political crisis. The parties warned that the third term ambition of President Alassane Ouattara if not stopped could plunge the country into political crisis. Ivory Coast is scheduled to go to poll on 31st October 2020. Ouattara has done two terms of dive years as allowed by the country's constitution. However, the Constitutional Council endorsed him for a third term on the ground that the new constitution adopted in 2016 does not take into account the previous two terms as it herald a new Republic. But Mr. Seth Koko, presidential candidate of L' Alternative -CI party who spoke for other candidates said that the participation of President Ouattara in the scheduled poll would only lead the country into another political chaos, as it is an attempt to perpetuate himself in office. Addressing journalists in Abuja on Friday, Loko said the only way out now is for President Ouattara to handover to a transition government who would be appointed by stakeholders to conduct the presidential poll. He said members of the opposition parties do not have confidence in the government to conduct free and fair election. Besides, the opposition parties are calling for the prosponment of the scheduled presidential poll. Koko also called for dissolution of the electoral body, saying that they do not have confidence in the body as currently constituted . He therefore called on international community to save the country to avoid the 2010 bloody experience, which claimed no fewer than 3,000 lives. He said already, members of opposition has called for mass protest against the resident's participation in the presidential poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \" In view of the many earning signs of a serious tragedy which seems inevitable in Cote d'Ivoire, and convinced that the current situation in Cote d'Ivoire constitutes serious threat international peace and security in the West African States (ECOWAS) to urgently implement its existing mechanism for conflict prevention and resolutions, in particular Protocol A\/SP1\/12\/01 on Democracy and Good Governance, additional to the protocol relating to the mechanism for prevention, Management, Conflict Resolution, peacekeeping and Security. \"This situation is urgent and deserves the United Nations Security Council to include without delay on its agenda the serious electoral crisis which is already in place in Cote d'Ivoire, mainly due to the violation of the constitution by the incumbent President Alassane Dramane Ouattara who is a candidate for an unconstitutional third term. \"In this regard, by virtue of 're relevant provisions of the Charter of the United Nations, in particular its Chapter 6 relating to the peaceful settlement of disputes and its Chapter 8 relating to regional agreements.

\u2026 Urge Buhari, ECOWAS, AU to stop country from sliding \u2026Calls for prosponment of presidential poll<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opposition parties in this year's presidential election in Cote d'Ivoire have called on President Muhammadu Buhari and other leaders within the West African region and Africa to save the country from sliding into another political crisis. The parties warned that the third term ambition of President Alassane Ouattara if not stopped could plunge the country into political crisis. Ivory Coast is scheduled to go to poll on 31st October 2020. Ouattara has done two terms of dive years as allowed by the country's constitution. However, the Constitutional Council endorsed him for a third term on the ground that the new constitution adopted in 2016 does not take into account the previous two terms as it herald a new Republic. But Mr. Seth Koko, presidential candidate of L' Alternative -CI party who spoke for other candidates said that the participation of President Ouattara in the scheduled poll would only lead the country into another political chaos, as it is an attempt to perpetuate himself in office. Addressing journalists in Abuja on Friday, Loko said the only way out now is for President Ouattara to handover to a transition government who would be appointed by stakeholders to conduct the presidential poll. He said members of the opposition parties do not have confidence in the government to conduct free and fair election. Besides, the opposition parties are calling for the prosponment of the scheduled presidential poll. Koko also called for dissolution of the electoral body, saying that they do not have confidence in the body as currently constituted . He therefore called on international community to save the country to avoid the 2010 bloody experience, which claimed no fewer than 3,000 lives. He said already, members of opposition has called for mass protest against the resident's participation in the presidential poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \" In view of the many earning signs of a serious tragedy which seems inevitable in Cote d'Ivoire, and convinced that the current situation in Cote d'Ivoire constitutes serious threat international peace and security in the West African States (ECOWAS) to urgently implement its existing mechanism for conflict prevention and resolutions, in particular Protocol A\/SP1\/12\/01 on Democracy and Good Governance, additional to the protocol relating to the mechanism for prevention, Management, Conflict Resolution, peacekeeping and Security. \"This situation is urgent and deserves the United Nations Security Council to include without delay on its agenda the serious electoral crisis which is already in place in Cote d'Ivoire, mainly due to the violation of the constitution by the incumbent President Alassane Dramane Ouattara who is a candidate for an unconstitutional third term. \"In this regard, by virtue of 're relevant provisions of the Charter of the United Nations, in particular its Chapter 6 relating to the peaceful settlement of disputes and its Chapter 8 relating to regional agreements. We hope to see the United Nations, African Union and ECOWAS rapidly develop effective cooperation commensurate with the gravity of the situation in Cote d'Ivoire in order to prevent the escalation of violence and protect the lived of civilian populations.\" Koko further called for the release of political prisoners in the country.

\u2026 Urge Buhari, ECOWAS, AU to stop country from sliding \u2026Calls for prosponment of presidential poll<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opposition parties in this year's presidential election in Cote d'Ivoire have called on President Muhammadu Buhari and other leaders within the West African region and Africa to save the country from sliding into another political crisis. The parties warned that the third term ambition of President Alassane Ouattara if not stopped could plunge the country into political crisis. Ivory Coast is scheduled to go to poll on 31st October 2020. Ouattara has done two terms of dive years as allowed by the country's constitution. However, the Constitutional Council endorsed him for a third term on the ground that the new constitution adopted in 2016 does not take into account the previous two terms as it herald a new Republic. But Mr. Seth Koko, presidential candidate of L' Alternative -CI party who spoke for other candidates said that the participation of President Ouattara in the scheduled poll would only lead the country into another political chaos, as it is an attempt to perpetuate himself in office. Addressing journalists in Abuja on Friday, Loko said the only way out now is for President Ouattara to handover to a transition government who would be appointed by stakeholders to conduct the presidential poll. He said members of the opposition parties do not have confidence in the government to conduct free and fair election. Besides, the opposition parties are calling for the prosponment of the scheduled presidential poll. Koko also called for dissolution of the electoral body, saying that they do not have confidence in the body as currently constituted . He therefore called on international community to save the country to avoid the 2010 bloody experience, which claimed no fewer than 3,000 lives. He said already, members of opposition has called for mass protest against the resident's participation in the presidential poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \" In view of the many earning signs of a serious tragedy which seems inevitable in Cote d'Ivoire, and convinced that the current situation in Cote d'Ivoire constitutes serious threat international peace and security in the West African States (ECOWAS) to urgently implement its existing mechanism for conflict prevention and resolutions, in particular Protocol A\/SP1\/12\/01 on Democracy and Good Governance, additional to the protocol relating to the mechanism for prevention, Management, Conflict Resolution, peacekeeping and Security. \"This situation is urgent and deserves the United Nations Security Council to include without delay on its agenda the serious electoral crisis which is already in place in Cote d'Ivoire, mainly due to the violation of the constitution by the incumbent President Alassane Dramane Ouattara who is a candidate for an unconstitutional third term. \"In this regard, by virtue of 're relevant provisions of the Charter of the United Nations, in particular its Chapter 6 relating to the peaceful settlement of disputes and its Chapter 8 relating to regional agreements.

Opposition parties in this year's presidential election in Cote d'Ivoire have called on President Muhammadu Buhari and other leaders within the West African region and Africa to save the country from sliding into another political crisis.

Ivory Coast is scheduled to go to poll on 31st October 2020. Ouattara has done two terms of dive years as allowed by the country's constitution. However, the Constitutional Council endorsed him for a third term on the ground that the new constitution adopted in 2016 does not take into account the previous two terms as it herald a new Republic. But Mr. Seth Koko, presidential candidate of L' Alternative -CI party who spoke for other candidates said that the participation of President Ouattara in the scheduled poll would only lead the country into another political chaos, as it is an attempt to perpetuate himself in office. Addressing journalists in Abuja on Friday, Loko said the only way out now is for President Ouattara to handover to a transition government who would be appointed by stakeholders to conduct the presidential poll. He said members of the opposition parties do not have confidence in the government to conduct free and fair election. Besides, the opposition parties are calling for the prosponment of the scheduled presidential poll. Koko also called for dissolution of the electoral body, saying that they do not have confidence in the body as currently constituted . He therefore called on international community to save the country to avoid the 2010 bloody experience, which claimed no fewer than 3,000 lives. He said already, members of opposition has called for mass protest against the resident's participation in the presidential poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \" In view of the many earning signs of a serious tragedy which seems inevitable in Cote d'Ivoire, and convinced that the current situation in Cote d'Ivoire constitutes serious threat international peace and security in the West African States (ECOWAS) to urgently implement its existing mechanism for conflict prevention and resolutions, in particular Protocol A\/SP1\/12\/01 on Democracy and Good Governance, additional to the protocol relating to the mechanism for prevention, Management, Conflict Resolution, peacekeeping and Security. \"This situation is urgent and deserves the United Nations Security Council to include without delay on its agenda the serious electoral crisis which is already in place in Cote d'Ivoire, mainly due to the violation of the constitution by the incumbent President Alassane Dramane Ouattara who is a candidate for an unconstitutional third term. \"In this regard, by virtue of 're relevant provisions of the Charter of the United Nations, in particular its Chapter 6 relating to the peaceful settlement of disputes and its Chapter 8 relating to regional agreements. We hope to see the United Nations, African Union and ECOWAS rapidly develop effective cooperation commensurate with the gravity of the situation in Cote d'Ivoire in order to prevent the escalation of violence and protect the lived of civilian populations.\" Koko further called for the release of political prisoners in the country. He also called for the safe passage for the return of several Ivorian political figures, including former President Laurent Gbagbo, Prime Minister Guillaume Kigbafori Soro among others.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Ivorian opposition parties warned against imminent political crisis","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ivorian-opposition-parties-warned-against-imminent-political-crisis","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-09 17:23:25","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-09 17:23:25","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=484","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":542},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};

Dr. Ehanire noted that the issues that confront the health of the family in Nigeria are multidimensional and thus, require an integrated, multi-sectoral approach as no one institution can handle the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 Urge Buhari, ECOWAS, AU to stop country from sliding \u2026Calls for prosponment of presidential poll<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opposition parties in this year's presidential election in Cote d'Ivoire have called on President Muhammadu Buhari and other leaders within the West African region and Africa to save the country from sliding into another political crisis. The parties warned that the third term ambition of President Alassane Ouattara if not stopped could plunge the country into political crisis. Ivory Coast is scheduled to go to poll on 31st October 2020. Ouattara has done two terms of dive years as allowed by the country's constitution. However, the Constitutional Council endorsed him for a third term on the ground that the new constitution adopted in 2016 does not take into account the previous two terms as it herald a new Republic. But Mr. Seth Koko, presidential candidate of L' Alternative -CI party who spoke for other candidates said that the participation of President Ouattara in the scheduled poll would only lead the country into another political chaos, as it is an attempt to perpetuate himself in office. Addressing journalists in Abuja on Friday, Loko said the only way out now is for President Ouattara to handover to a transition government who would be appointed by stakeholders to conduct the presidential poll. He said members of the opposition parties do not have confidence in the government to conduct free and fair election. Besides, the opposition parties are calling for the prosponment of the scheduled presidential poll. Koko also called for dissolution of the electoral body, saying that they do not have confidence in the body as currently constituted . He therefore called on international community to save the country to avoid the 2010 bloody experience, which claimed no fewer than 3,000 lives. He said already, members of opposition has called for mass protest against the resident's participation in the presidential poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire has flagged off Nigeria\u2019s Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, Adolescent and Elderly Health Plus Nutrition (RMNCAEH+N) Multi-Stakeholder Partnership Coordination Platform in Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Platform is part of Federal Government\u2019s strategy towards realizing the Sustainable Development Goals and attainment of Universal Health Coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Ehanire made this known at a Press Briefing on Friday, 9th October, 2020 at the Federal Ministry of Health Headquarters. He also announced that the platform would be launched on Monday 12th of October, 2020 at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Minister explained that the platform which has the motto: partnering for wellbeing of women, children, adolescents, and the elderly, encapsulates the core values that drive Universal Health Coverage, with the aim of leaving no one behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Ehanire noted that the issues that confront the health of the family in Nigeria are multidimensional and thus, require an integrated, multi-sectoral approach as no one institution can handle the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To this end, he informed that the multi-stakeholder coordination platform aims to harness the relative strengths of the diverse stakeholders and create opportunities to pull resources together in order to maximize outcomes for attainment of the shared vision for Nigerians, particularly the vulnerable population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Further, the Minister lamented over the poor status of Nigeria\u2019s health indices. According to him: \u201cOur health indices are unacceptably poor, with a maternal mortality ratio of 512 per 1,000 live births, under-five mortality rate of 132 per 1,000 live births and neonatal mortality rate of 39 per 1000 live births.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He however admitted that the present administration has made remarkable progress towards improvement of child survival and safe motherhood. This he said, was achieved through the provision of ready-to-use therapeutic food and sustaining FP2020 commitments to ensure availability of family planning services to women of reproductive age amongst other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Ehanire added that making the National Health Act and the Basic Health Care Provision Fund operational will greatly improve access to quality health care for the vulnerable, particularly at the primary healthcare level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He expressed optimism that the birth of the RMNCAEH+N Platform would bring to actualization, President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s vision towards improving the health of the vulnerable populace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his welcome address, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Health, Mr. Abdulaziz Mashi Abdullahi noted that the partnership aims at addressing the multi-pronged issues affecting the attainment of the Universal Health Care Coverage in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Abdulaziz M. Abdullahi also pointed out that the Platform which commences with the commemoration of the high level advocacy event would bring RMNCAEH+N issues to the front burner of political and societal agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He highlighted the membership of the platform to include: Governments, parliamentarians, media, regulatory bodies, philanthropists and donors, development organizations, academia and professional bodies, pressure groups, traditional and religious institutions, private sector, women groups, civil society among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While commenting on some of the issues raised by Journalists who were present at the press briefing, the Executive Director, National Primary Health Development Agency (NPHIS), Dr. Faisal Shuaib pointed out that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected both the resources and physical space of every economy, making it difficult to attain the Universal Health Coverage and as such, he describes the RMNCAEH+N platform as seeking to provide opportunity for Stakeholders to converge and brainstorm, to explore strategies that will guarantee enhance an efficient health care delivery for Nigerians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPart of Universal Health Care; RMNCAEH+N is very essential and it is very important that at this point of our lives when resources and the physical space has been confiscated by COVID-19 pandemic that we can now look inwards and look for how we can reduce waste.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shuaib further posited that \u201cIit is not the question of asking for more money for the health sector but more health for the money that has been provided.\u201d While acknowledging the role of the Media in driving the implementation of the RMNCAEH+N strategies, he appealed to them to spread the news across all levels of the society focusing on health promotion, disease prevention and management to ensure that people are rehabilitated.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Health Minister flags off RMNCAEH+N Multi-Stakeholder Partnership Coordination Platform in Abuja.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"health-minister-flags-off-rmncaehn-multi-stakeholder-partnership-coordination-platform-in-abuja","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-10 11:49:48","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-10 11:49:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=490","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":487,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2020-10-10 10:25:31","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-10 10:25:31","post_content":"\n
