 Nigeria has joined seven other African countries in the Brilliant Consortium, a collaborative initiative focused on developing HIV vaccines in sub-Saharan Africa. South Africa, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Mozambique are participating in this significant research effort.  In Nigeria, the initiative is led by the Institute of Human Virology Nigeria (IHVN) with support from the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA), USAID and other international partners. At an event in Abuja, the Director-General of NACA, Dr. Temitope Ilori, said though current prevention measures were yielding results, a vaccine was essential to achieving lasting solution.

 I’m not afraid of EFCC – Obaseki


Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has expressed his readiness to submit himself to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, if the agency requires his presence in connection with his eight years of stewardship in the state.

Obaseki stated this on Wednesday during the EdoBEST National Results-Sharing Session in Abuja, where he highlighted his administration’s achievements.

“I’m not afraid of the EFCC. Why should I be? What is important is focus. I came into office and ignored the noise, concentrating on what I felt was important, and today you can see the results,” Obaseki said.

“If the EFCC calls on me, I will hand myself over; I have nothing to hide.”

The outgoing governor also expressed his belief that the vindictiveness and bitterness in the political landscape are secondary to addressing the real challenges faced by the country.
