 Trump administration plans to end PEPFAR funding for HIV programs in South Africa over policy disputes The Trump administration plans to terminate U.S. funding for HIV initiatives in South Africa under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief due to deepening policy disagreements.

Official data indicates the program has saved an estimated 25 million lives and averted millions of new HIV infections globally.

 ‎Anambra Govt Restores Tazan–3-3 Road After Years of Neglect, Easing Movement in Idemili North

‎By Anthonia Chioma Okeke

‎Residents of Akuzor in Idemili North Local Government Area have commended Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, for the rehabilitation of the long-abandoned Tazan Junction to 3-3 Road. For several years, the road was in a deplorable condition, hampering movement for motorists, traders, and residents, particularly during the rainy season. The poor state of the road resulted in frequent accidents and severe hardship for the community.

‎Following the state government’s recent intervention, the road has been rehabilitated, restoring safe passage and bringing relief to thousands of residents and commuters in the area.

‎Speaking on the development, Mr. Ikechukwu Nwakasi, an Awka indigene who has lived in Akuzor for over 28 years, expressed delight at the government’s action.

‎Mrs. Nkechi Edeh, a trader along Akuzor Road, described the former state of the road as a “major threat” to safety. “We thank God for this facelift. It has made life easier for all of us,” she said.

‎Mr. Kenneth Agbo, a commercial motorcyclist in the area, noted that potholes and failed sections of the road previously caused constant accidents. “Those days are gone now. This road is safe again,” he stated.

‎Also speaking, Mrs. Chinyere Chukwuma lauded the governor and described his administration as a “Solution Government.” She added that residents of Akuzor have benefited significantly from Governor Soludo’s road projects and prayed for God’s continued protection and guidance for him.

‎The rehabilitation of the Tazan Junction to 3-3 Road forms part of Governor Soludo’s broader infrastructure drive aimed at opening up communities and improving connectivity across Anambra State.
