 Terry Crews’ Wife Rebecca Reveals Parkinson’s Battle 11 Years After Diagnosis: ‘Seeing Improvement’ Terry Crews and his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, have opened up about a deeply personal health journey that the family has been quietly navigating for more than a decade. During Monday’s episode of the Today show, Rebecca, 60, revealed that she has been living with Parkinson’s since receiving her diagnosis in 2015, though the first warning signs appeared years earlier. Looking back, she said it all began around 2012 with a slight numbness in her left foot. Not long after, her trainer noticed something unusual in the way she walked, particularly that one of her arms was no longer swinging naturally. Then came the moment that truly raised alarm. Rebecca recalled waking up one morning to find her hand shaking, a tremor that made it clear something more serious might be happening. At first, she said a doctor suggested it was anxiety and reassured her that she would be fine. Still, trusting...

 Anambra Government targets mineral resources for economic, industrial development


The Anambra State government said it is stepping up efforts to harness the State’s abundant mineral resources to boost Nigeria’s economic and industrial development.


Speaking in an interview in Awka, the Managing Director of Anambra State Solid Mineral Development Company Limited, Professor Charles Ofoegbu, said the State is richly endowed with a variety of commercially valuable minerals that could significantly contribute to agriculture, infrastructure, and industrial growth.


Ofoegbu noted that illegal mining activities remain a major challenge, with multiple unregulated bodies collecting revenues outside the law.


“The existence of several regulatory organs imposing compliance arbitrarily, without certification from the Council of Mining Engineers and Geoscientists (COMEG), has created inefficiencies and revenue leakages,” he said.


He explained that the recent Solid Mineral Reforms are designed to regulate mining operations, covering procedures for obtaining mining leases, environmental safeguards, corporate social responsibility, and community development plans.


“The abundant minerals in the State are mostly illegally mined, with little or no regulation, resulting in financial losses for the government,” Ofoegbu said


“The abundant minerals in the State are mostly illegally mined, with little or no regulation, resulting in financial losses for the government,” Ofoegbu said.


Anambra State is reported to have significant deposits of kaolin (Ukpor, Ozubulu), clay/bentonite (Achama-Agu), ironstone/sand (Uga, Ogbunike, Nsugbe, Abagana, Owerre-Ezukala), laterite (Umunya, Enugwu-Agidi, Ezinifite, Awka Ihedi, Utuh), river sand (River Niger and Anambra River banks), gravel (Nsugbe, Ogbunka, Abagana), plaster sand (Nanka, Agu-Amawbia, Nsugbe), and lignite/brown coal (Ukpor, Oba, Oraifite, Akwukwu, Ozubulu, Nnewi).


According to Ofoegbu, the geology of the State spans the Mamu Formation (Senonian), Paleocene (Ebenebe), Ameki Formation (Nanja Sand/Nsugbe), and Oligocene-Miocene (Omambala/Anambra River), providing a strong foundation for sustainable mining development.


However, he acknowledged challenges, including limited infrastructure for the extraction, processing, and transportation of minerals, environmental degradation, and pollution.


Ofoegbu said modern technology is gradually replacing traditional excavation methods, addressing health risks and occupational hazards faced by miners.


Ofoegbu said the state government is committed to addressing infrastructure gaps, environmental concerns, and investment needs to fully unlock Anambra’s mineral wealth and strengthen its contribution to national development.
