Federal Government Secures N80b Funding to Eliminate Tuberculosis

In order to bridge the significant funding shortfall in its fight against tuberculosis – TB, and achieve the goal of eliminating it by 2030, the Federal government has struck a 50 million dollar (80 billion naira) funding deal with the private sector.

Currently, only 6 percent of the National TB budget comes from domestic sources, leaving a 70 percent funding gap and a critical shortage that has hindered the widespread implementation of innovative TB interventions and the execution of the 2021-2026 TB National Strategic Plan.

The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. MOHAMMED ALI PATE, who disclosed this in Lagos, said the federal government would contribute 25 million dollars to match the 25 million dollars financial commitment made by the private sector towards the goal.

PSG Offers Bumper Plan for Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia

In a move to bolster their attacking lineup, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have submitted a 200 million euro bid for Napoli’s KHVICHA KVARATSKHELIA and VICTOR OSIMHEN.

This bid comes in the wake of KYLIAN MBAPPE’s departure to Real Madrid. MBAPPE, who joins the Spanish giants as a free agent, is set to be unveiled later this week.

Napoli’s new manager, ANTONIO CONTE, remains firm on retaining Kvaratskhelia, emphasizing the player’s importance to his squad.

Meanwhile, Osimhen’s future seems more uncertain. The Nigerian striker’s contract includes a 130 million euro release clause, making a transfer feasible if PSG meets the conditions.

Despite PSG’s interest, Kvaratskhelia’s agent has hinted that the Georgian winger might stay at Napoli, with the possibility of extending his contract.

Poland Considering Proposals to Shoot Down Russian Missiles

Polish Foreign Minister, RADOSLAW SIKORSKI has said that Warsaw is considering a proposal from Kyiv to shoot down Russian missiles heading towards Polish territory while they are still in Ukrainian airspace.

The proposal was included in a joint defence agreement between the two countries signed during President VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY’s visit to Warsaw.

He said some Russian missiles fired from the St Petersburg area towards Ukrainian targets near the western city of Lviv, not far from the Polish border, traversed Belarus and entered Polish airspace for about 40 seconds before turning towards their targets in Ukraine.

Mr SIKORSKI acknowledged that such a short time gave Poland little time to react. However the proposal would theoretically cover any missile traversing western Ukraine in the direction of Poland.
