EMBARKING ON INDUSTRIAL ACTION AT THIS TIME WHEN NIGERIANS NEED YOU MOST IS NOT THE BEST ACTION TO TAKE, SAYS PRESIDENT BUHARI TO DOCTORS.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

Image
President Muhammadu Buhari Friday in Abuja called on health workers to return to their duty posts, urging others contemplating strikes to opt for settlement of issues by negotiation, no matter how long it takes.   “The lives of citizens that could be lost or damaged when doctors withdraw services, are precious enough to be worth opting for peaceful resolution of differences,’’ the President noted, while receiving members of Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) at the State House. President Buhari assured that all outstanding benefits owed medical doctors will be cleared, after verifications, noting that embarking on industrial action at a critical health period for the country and citizens was not a good option. “Protecting our citizens is not to be left to government alone, but taken as a collective responsibility, in which especially medical professionals play a critical role. Let me speak directly to the striking doctors. Embarking on industrial action at this time when Nigerians need

LET'S PUT IN PLACE NEW MEASURES TO PREVENT COUPS, SAYS OSINBAJO AT ECOWAS SUMMIT ON GUINEA * Proposes AU, UN, Commonwealth others simultaneously suspend nations where military seizes power *Nigeria wants West African countries to respect their own constitutions *Only free, fair, transparent elections welcome, VP adds The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) must take proactive steps to prevent coups d'etat in the sub-region, and even on the continent, because the unconstitutional seizure of power in any shape or form is simply unacceptable and has no place in the 21st century, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A PRESIDENT WHO STABILISED NIGERIA, PRESIDENT BUHARI TELLS SOUTH EAST LEADERS   President Muhammadu Buhari Thursday in Owerri said that he would want to be remembered as the President who stabilised Nigeria in the area of security, economic prosperity and triumph over corruption.   The President, who spoke at a town hall meeting with South East leaders during his one-day official visit to Imo State, said with less than two years left in his eight-year tenure as President, security still remains a major priority for his administration.   ‘‘If there is no security, there is nothing anyone can do no matter how much you try or the initiative you have.   ‘‘Security is number one priority and then the economy. When people feel secure they will mind their own business,’’ he said.    The President told South-East leaders that while fighting corruption in Nigeria had become very sophisticated and difficult, he would continue to strive to leave a lasting legacy of inte

TERRORISM: I LIKE THIS PAMPERING. DON’T YOU?-FEMI ADESINA.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

 I LIKE THIS PAMPERING. DON’T YOU? For those who believe in the ineluctable victory of good over evil, no matter how long it takes, this has been an inspiring week. From the forests of a thousand daemons in Zamfara, Kaduna, Niger States, among others, bandits, criminals, evildoers are taking a pounding. In their scores, scores upon scores, they are being spoken to in the language they understand, and sent to God to answer for their sins. One has never been prouder of our military. I see the hair splitting over whether they should be called terrorists rather than bandits, and I laugh. Sheer sophistry. Whether insurgents, bandits, kidnappers, ritual killers, criminals are criminals. And what do you do to such? Eliminate. Annihilate. Obliterate. If they won’t let decent society be, get rid of them. That is one case when an eye for an eye won’t make the whole world go blind. Before they got to this sorry pass, they had the chance to turn a new leaf. Zamfara, Katsina, and many other states
