 Heavy Rainfall Causes Building Collapse, Power Pole Damage in Awka By Ernest Igboanugo The prolonged rainfall of September 22, has caused significant damage in parts of Awka, leaving families displaced and raising fresh concerns over erosion and public infrastructure. Two buildings reportedly collapsed at Umudioka by Agu Oye in Awka following the failure of a nearby gully erosion site during the heavy downpour. Household belongings were scattered around the affected buildings, as residents assessed the extent of the damage. No death was recorded, although one affected family was rendered homeless. One of the affected family members, Okwy Nweke, said the incident occurred suddenly after floodwater became improperly channelled and gradually created a gully that weakened the surrounding area. Nweke appealed to the Anambra State Government for urgent assistance, explaining that the family lost several belongings to the incident and currently requires support to secure accommodation. T...

 Nigerians to benefit as US resumes visa processing for foreign doctors


Nigerian doctors are set to benefit from a policy reversal by the United States (US), which allows physicians to resume visa applications and processing.


Earlier this year, the US imposed a blanket visa ban on multiple countries, including Nigeria, citing national security concerns.


The policy affected foreign doctors, including many Nigerians, who formed a significant number as the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) withheld visa renewals.


According to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), 25.6 percent of active physicians are international medical graduates.


A 2024 global health workforce database showed Nigerians as the sixth largest group of foreign doctors in the US on the J-1 visa. H-1B visa holders were not added to the list.


In a walk back last week, the USCIS updated its website, without a formal announcement, to indicate that physicians are no longer subject to the processing hold.


“Applications associated with medical physicians will continue processing,” the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a separate statement made available to The New York Times.


The AAMC noted that the US faces a shortage of about 65,000 physicians, adding that the deficit is expected to surge over the next decade as Americans live longer and more doctors retire.


On April 8, several doctor associations, including the American Academies of Family Physicians, Neurology and Paediatrics, signed a letter to the secretaries of state and homeland security, expressing “urgent concern” about barriers preventing “qualified, vetted physicians” from entering and remaining in the US.


They called for a national-interest exemption from the policy as well as expedited processing of their cases
