NIGERIA SECURES ADDITIONAL 41 MILLION COVID-19 VACCINE DOSES

The federal government has secured an additional 41 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines, although the date of its delivery into the country remains unknown, as vaccine manufacturers struggle to meet global demand, in time.

Minister of Health, OSAGIE EHANIRE, made this known during an interview with newsmen bordering on the order and payment for the covid-19 vaccines.

EHANIRE noted that the 41 million doses were secured as part of efforts by an African Union task team, to help countries on the continent gain equitable access to vaccines.

Countries are expected to make a down-payment of about 15 per cent for the vaccines and repay the cost over a five to seven-year period.

Meanwhile, the Covax vaccines expected in February are expected to be free, for the first 20 percent of the population, but the country will pay for the “logistics of delivery and administration.”

GOVERNOR UDOM EMMANUEL COMMENDS RATE OF WORK ON IKOT OKU IKONO FLY OVER PROJECT

The level of work currently going on at the Ikot Oku Ikono Fly Over project has gotten great commendations from governor UDOM EMMANUEL.

The governor expressed his satisfaction at the pace and quality of the work execution, when he undertook inspection of the projecton Wednesday.

He expressed dismay over the excellent work done as against some negative information that has been making rounds about the fly over project, adding that the firm handling the project has assured of completion and delivery as scheduled.

According to the governor, the project would have been completed sooner but for the emergence of covid-19 last year which ravaged the world and forced companies to close for business.

He however noted that the bridge when completed with all its adjourning structures, will be the longest in the state and called on the people of the state to appreciate the concept, brought to bare in the project.

Governor UDOM further decried the paucity of funds and lackadaisical attitude of National agencies towards assisting in infrastructural development in the state, emphasizing that the situation notwithstanding the state would not relent in the development of infrastructures.

Earlier, the Regional Manager, Julius Berger PLC, Mr. JUERGEN FISCHER, commended the state government for keeping to the contract agreements and assured that the flyover project will be completed in May 2021 while the adjourning structures, including roundabouts, access roads and service lanes will be completed in August.

The Federal Government says it has completed plans to sanitise the social media space in a bid curtail fake news, hate speeches and its resultant effects.

This was disclosed on Tuesday by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed at a press conference in Abuja. According to the Information minister, the Federal government will implement reforms in the broadcast industry and sanction any defaulting broadcast media outfit caught in the act.

The broadcast media reform, He added will extend to the social media space which he says is currently “out of control’.

“Since we launched our reform of the broadcast industry, many Nigerians have reached out to us, demanding that we also look into how to sanitise the Social Media space. I can assure you that we are also working on how to inject sanity into the Social Media space which, today, is totally out of control,” he said.

Lai Mohmammed reiterated that no responsible government would sit back and allow activities such as fake news and hate speech, which is capable of setting the country on fire, to continue unchecked.

“That is why we will continue to evolve ways to tackle fake news and hate speech until we banish both,” he said.
