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.

IPAC Calls for Immediate Scrapping of SIECs

The Inter-Party Advisory Council – IPAC has called for the immediate scrapping of the State Independent Electoral Commissions (SIECS), after the Supreme Court restored local government financial autonomy.

The council said that the States’ electoral bodies have become mere appendages of various government houses.

IPAC chairman, YUSUF DANTALLE disclosed this in Abuja, during a press briefing, saying that SIECs have proven to be incompetent and incapable of conducting free, fair, credible, transparent, inclusive, and peaceful elections.

He called for the implementation of the Supreme Court rulings and charged local government chairmen to reciprocate the gesture of this landmark ruling by the judicious utilization of the resources to deal with the several issues confronting Nigerians at the grassroots.

ABDULRAZAQ urged the Local Government Chairmen to make judicious use of the funds that will now be sent to them directly from the federation account.

Governor ABDUL RAZAK said the Nigeria Governors’ Forum will meet next Wednesday to come up with a resolution about the matter. He maintained that contrary to speculations, governors have never tampered with local government funds.
