 Obosi Councillor Donates Bus to Students, Leads Fight Against Cultism By Chiedu Uche Okoye  Hon. Obichukwu Anyafulu (Zik), Councillor for Obosi ward, has donated a bus to students, who attend schools located in Obosi.  The councillor made the disclosure in an interview with the journalist at his Obosi country home, on July 11. Hon. Anyafulu said that the humanitarian deed he performed for the students was borne out of his belief that education is the cornerstone of national development.  "Education is the bedrock of national development. And only educated people who possess knowledge and skills can drive our developmental initiatives. "Based on that, I don't want students in Obosi to stay at home on school days because their parents cannot give them transportation fares," he said.  He further clarified that the bus would serve the additional purpose of conveying people to churches on Sundays, stating that religion is a tool for moulding the personalities of you...

SENATE PASSES BILL TO ESTABLISH NATIONAL AGENCY FOR MALARIA ELIMINATION. (PHOTO).

 The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday passed a bill seeking to establish the National Agency for Malaria Elimination, marking a significant step towards strengthening the country’s fight against the disease.


The legislation, titled “A Bill for an Act to Establish the National Agency for Malaria Elimination and for Related Matters, 2025 (SB.172),” scaled third reading after the Senate considered and adopted the report of the Senate Committee on Health (Secondary and Tertiary).


Senator Ned Nwoko, who represents Delta North, sponsored the bill.


Presenting the committee’s report, Senator Ipalibo Banigo, Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Health (Secondary and Tertiary), explained that the proposed agency would serve as the central coordinating body for all national efforts aimed at the prevention, control, and eventual elimination of malaria in Nigeria.


Banigo noted that stakeholder consultations on the bill received widespread support from health experts, government agencies, civil society organisations, and development partners. Participants at the consultations included representatives from the Federal Ministry of Health, Federal Ministry of Justice, National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU), Environmental Health Council of Nigeria, and the Nigeria End Malaria Council.


According to the committee’s report, the new agency is expected to shift Nigeria’s malaria response from a focus on treatment to a more proactive approach centred on prevention and elimination. It will establish zonal and state offices and implement a strategic plan grounded in law, science, and accountability.


Stakeholders emphasised the need for a specialised institution dedicated specifically to malaria elimination, rather than the current approach of managing recurring outbreaks. Lawmakers also adopted the term “elimination” instead of “eradication,” noting that the former is the internationally accepted terminology for country-level interventions.


The bill now awaits concurrence from the House of Representatives before it can be transmitted to the President for assent.
