Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has endorsed the quest by the South East geopolitical zone to produce Nigeria’s president in 2023. He said if Nigerians make an Igbo man president, it would help to permanently heal the wounds of the civil war and end all agitations for Biafra republic. Young people in the South East and parts of South South, who are dissatisfied with the way the country is being run, especially the alleged marginalisation of Igbo, have been agitating for the restoration of the defunct Biafra. Ngige, however, said rotating the presidency to the South was a sensitive one considering the issues surrounding it.

 Federal Ministry of Health, Abuja Nigeria – December 8th, 2021   Press Statement   The attention of the Federal Ministry of Health has been drawn to reports circulating in the media to the effect that some Covid-19 vaccines had expired in Nigeria.   This Press statement is to properly brief the public and set records right.   Nigeria has, of late enjoyed the generosity of several, mainly European countries, who have offered us doses of Covid-19 vaccines out of their stockpiles, free of charge, through COVAX or AVAT facility. These donations are always acknowledged and thankfully received: however, some of them had residual shelf lives of only few months that left us very short time, some just weeks, to use them, after deduction of time to transport, clear, distribute and deliver to users. If such vaccines arrive back-to-back or are many, logistic bottlenecks occasionally arise.   We appreciate the kind gesture of donors, but also communicated the challenge...

  From my media team. The truth about Ned Nwoko’s separation with Moroccan wife,Laila. The attention of Prince Ned Nwoko’s Media directorate has been drawn to a publication trending especially in the social media linking his separation with his Moroccan born wife,Laila Nwoko,to the influence of a local aphrodisiac called “Kayamata”,vended by one Hauwa Saidu Mohammed,commonly known as Jaruma. Our initial reaction was to have completely ignored the silly insinuation. But given the pervasive nature of fake news and the tendency of mischief makers to peddle misinformation on the social media,we resolved albeit reluctantly,to clarify issues for two reasons: Falsehood gone viral, need to be dismantled in order not to create wrong impression before unsuspecting members of the public.More importantly, Prince Ned Nwoko with his global reputation as a foremost philanthropist,distinguished patriot and conscientious billionaire business mogul can never allow shallow tale mongers to impugn his ...
