The Rivers State Government has concluded plans for Round Two Polio Vaccination exercise for children less than five years from May 14 to 17, 2022. This was contained in a statement by the Rivers State Primary Health Care Management Board, and made available to The Tide in Port Harcourt. The statement signed by the Permanent Secretary of the board, Dr. Agiriye Harry, said the vaccination team would be in all government health facilities and on the field visiting homes and places of worship as well as special centres. While soliciting the support of parents and care givers towards the success of the vaccination exercise, it explained that since the resurgence of circulation Vaccine Derived Polio Vaccine type 2 (c VDPV2) in Nigeria since March, 2021,”there was need for an emergency Outbreak Response (OBR) campaign with the novel Oral Polio Vaccine (nOPV2) in the country”. According to the statement, “two rounds of OBR were carried out in some states in 2021, but the cVDPV2 was found in 27 states of the country, including the FCT in January, 2022, a situation that necessitated further outbreak response campaigns across the 36 states of the federation”. It solicited the support of the general public towards the success of the exercise in vaccinating eligible children.

The Minister of Water Resource, Engr. Suleiman Adamu, has warned Nigerians to get prepared as 233 local government areas in 32 states including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) would experience heavy flooding this year. The minister gave this warning at the official unveiling of the 2022 Annual Flood Outlook (AFO), titled, ‘flood management and food security’, held in Abuja, yesterday. Adamu added that flash and urban flooding would be experienced in urban city centres across the country. He said:”The breakdown of the 2022 AFO shows that 233 local government areas in 32 states of the Federation and FCT fall within the highly probable risk areas, while 212 local government areas in 35 states, including FCT fall within the moderately flood risk areas. “The highly probably flood risk states are: Adamawa, Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bauchi and Bayelsa, Benue, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi,Ekiti, Edo, Gombe, Imo, Jigawa, Kaduna and Kano, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos, Nasarawa, Niger, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Rivers, Sokoto, Taraba, Yobe, Zamfara, and the FCT. The minister further added, according to AFO, between the month of April, May and June moderate impact of floods are expected in parts of 45 local government areas, while 140 LGAs will experience flood in July, August and September. The prediction says In the month of October, November and December, 54 local government areas in the country are also at risk of floods. “The summary of the year’s AFO predicts coastal flooding for Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta Edo, Lagos, Ogun and Ondo. “Flash and urban flood are expected in urban cities centres across the country. Parts of these cities are Lagos, Kaduna, Suleja, Gombe, Yola, Makurdi, Asaba, Abuja, Yola, Port Harcourt, Yenagoa, are expected to experience flash and urban flooding in 2022. “Ibadan, Abeokuta, Benin City, Birnin-Kebbi, Sokoto, Lokoja, Maiduguri, Kano, Oshogbo, Ado Ekiti, Abakaliki, Akwa, Nsukka, Calabar and Owerri.” The minister, therefore, called on all stakeholders, policy makers and agencies to rise up with appropriate mechanism on how to curtail impending floods. In his welcome address, the Director-General, Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA), Engr. Clement Nze, emphasised on the need for farmers, policy makers to use the information provided for preventive measures. Nze added that AFO is to prepare the nation to avert the negative impact of floods. “What we are doing is veer into nature to predict what would happen”. In his goodwill message, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mohammed Musa Bello, charge developers against violation of extant guidelines to avert flood and allow for easy passage of water. Represented by Shehu Ahmed, the minister said dumping of waste in manhole, and drainages aggravate flood in urban areas.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), yesterday, said it would employ both the manual and electronic methods in the transmission of the 2023 election results. The commission also said there is a possibility of moving sensitive materials from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to another location. The Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, said these during a consultative meeting with the media in Abuja, yesterday. Responding to a question on the political ambition and partisanship of the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, Yakubu said the commission might be forced to find another arrangement for the handling of sensitive materials. The INEC chairman said the CBN is responsible for the storage and movement of sensitive materials, adding that the commission has never doubt the capacity of the CBN to discharge that responsibility. He said, “But I understand the context in which the question is asked. But you should also understand the context in which events are unfolding. As we speak, our director, litigation and prosecution is in court. “There is a case in court. We have been invited to state our own side of the story. We usually refrain from talking about such issues because there is essentially subjudice. “But we are already started talking about what alternatives are available to us in case we need to change the arrangement for the handling of sensitive materials. We have started thinking about it. We are aware of the situation. We will watch the situation. We still have nine months before the next general election. “Things may be addressed before then. I want to assure you that we will not jeopardize the conduct of the election by creating a misconception around the situation in the process.” According to him, INEC would partner with the Economic Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to check the spending of political parties during the 2023 election. Yakubu added that the provision of the Electoral Act 2022 in the management of results was still basically manual involving the recording of results on forms and their delivery to various levels of collation until declaration and returns are made. While declaring, however, that the law still provides for e-transmission of results, Yakubu quoted Section 64 of the Electoral Act, saying electronic transmission of results would only be done in the event of a dispute during the course of collation. He said there was need to clear the misconception around e-transmission of results, saying many Nigerians equate it with electronic voting where voting can take place from any location. A brief contained in the implementation procedure for electronic transmission of results given to journalists at the parley said the presiding officer is expected to transmit a clear image of form EC8A (result sheets) for purpose of collation which goes to the INEC Results Viewing Portal. According to the document, the PO is also expected to deliver the hard copy of EC8A and the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS to the Registration Collation Officer.
The Rivers State House of Assembly has passed two bills into law. This follows a report emanating from a public hearing and presented on the floor of the house, yesterday. The bills include, Rivers State Prohibition of the Curtailment of the Right of Women to Share in Family Property Bill 2021, and a Bill for a law for Compulsory Treatment of Victims of Gunshot Wounds. With the passage of the bill, women can now share in their families’ properties, and those with gunshot wounds can now get treatment ahead of police investigation. This followed a robust debate on the two billson the floor of the house. Commencing debate on the bill, lawmaker representing Obio/akpor Constituency Two and sponsor of the bill, Hon Michael Chinda, said he was in agreement with all the recommendations made in the report, while stressing that the report was a compendium of what transpired at the public hearing. Other members, including the lawmaker representing Okrika Constituency, Hon Linda Somiari Stewart, and his Abua/Odual counterpart, Hon Solomon Sokulu, also supported the bill, saying that women have the right to be treated equally. They commended the state government for intentionally empowering women in the state. In his remarks at end of debate, Speaker of the house, Rt. Hon. Ikuinyi-Owaji Ibani, said there was no reason women should not be treated equally. Ibani commended members for their contributions, and thanked the sponsor of the bills for thinking through, knowing that society has moved on. He noted that interpretation clause would ensure that definite interpretation is given to what constitutes community property. The speaker said the two bills were very important in efforts to accelerate the development and peace of the state. He, however, divided the house for a vote. At the end of the exercise, all members present unanimously voted for the passage of the two bills.
