Evercare, MED-EL Clinical Electronics ink deal to take on listening to impairment

Evercare Hospital (an offshoot of Evercare Group) and MED-EL Electronics, a hearing implant company, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to tackle hearing impairment in children under five years.

At the signing ceremony on Monday in Lagos, the Director of Operations, Evercare Hospital, Eric Ochieng, noted that the deal was signed on March 3, the day for the commemoration of World Hearing Day, would significantly reduce the number of children suffering from hearing challenges in Nigeria and Africa, which currently stand at eight million.

“We have about 130 visiting consultants, 20 professionals in FDs, and other dedicated specialists in different specialities to provide comprehensive healthcare. With our success stories so far, we believe we are capable of doing this too. It is a lifelong journey. We want to help as many children as possible in Nigeria to tackle this critical challenge,” he remarked.

The Group Commercial Officer of Evercare, Irfan Khan, stated that, in line with its mission to help people with hearing loss experience the joy of sound, the hospital’s medical personnel were ready to give the best services to achieve the desired results of patients and hospital management.

He declared that the hospital aimed to give back to Nigeria, through its cutting-edge technology and services.

He confirmed that the group was looking forward to partnering with the government, NGOs, and corporate organisations to deliver individualised solutions through research and development.

 “We are not after offering the cheapest and fastest service, we are not in haste. We are guided by quality and ethical standards to achieve sustainable results for everyone,” he asserted.

On her part, the Business Development Africa and Regional Manager for MED-EL, Stephanie Unterrieder, revealed that the partnership was made possible through Evercare Foundation, assuring that Evercare and MED-EL do not take such support for granted.

 “We are careful and conscious of what we do. We carry out thorough investigations and examinations even for children with special needs. Ours is to see that the number of children with hearing challenges is reduced to the barest minimum,” she maintained.

Speaking for the Lagos State Ministry of Health, the Director of Special Projects & Mental Health, Dr Tolu Ajomale, who represented the ministry’s permanent secretary, said that the state government was not leaving any stone unturned in ensuring that residents in the state receive the best healthcare services in all public health facilities.

 “We are interested in this partnership; it is in line with our mandate to ensure everyone is healthy,” he posited.

The 2024 World Hearing Day focused on overcoming the challenges posed by societal misperceptions and stigmatising mindsets through awareness-raising and information-sharing, targeted at the public and healthcare providers.

Issues for the eye of the President

Issues for the eye of the President

On the State of the Economy in Nigeria, the escalation of prices of foodstuffs, goods and commodities generally, the hardship on the citizens and the “ebi npa wa” slogan.

Since his assumption of office, the President, Bola Tinubu, removed the criminal petroleum subsidy regime.

However, the President in his usual generosity deployed the savings accruing from this subsidy removal for the three levels (tiers) of government through the monthly FAAC.

By this action, the revenue being shared by these levels of government has risen by about 70 – 80 per cent, almost double in some cases since June 2023.

Meanwhile, there has been no corresponding increase in responsibility by these levels of government in terms of salaries and emoluments, first-line charges and other statutory expenditures in the short run.

So, the generous funds made available to these governments are just a bonanza, a bazaar. And it is seriously being abused.

The President meant well, unfortunately, this generosity is not being felt by the citizenry.

The economy is awash with cash, thereby contributing to inflation. This excess liquidity is being utilised to mop up dollars, while the naira has been depreciating on a monthly basis since June 2023, with no end in sight.

My humble advice to Mr President is: To halt this largesse being passed on to sub-nationals through monthly FAAC allocations, and deploy the accruing Revenue from subsidy to DIRECT INTERVENTIONS on cost of energy, viz: reduce prices of petroleum products by 50 per cent and mandatorily reduce the cost of transportation by half; direct intervention in supporting agriculture and reducing the prices of essential food commodities by 50 per cent; ditto for the cost of pharmaceuticals; ditto for essential construction of industry materials like cement, iron rods etc.; and put a lid on increases in tuition fees in tertiary institutions.

The foregoing in the short run will directly bring succour to the citizenry and the Nigerian masses in general.

Non-essential capital projects can wait in the meantime. People are being advised to ask their governors and local government chairmen about the utilisation of their allocations; who is going to do that, how, where and when?

Can you just imagine some governors joining the NLC protest thereby making a mockery of the whole situation?

Matters for the attention of CBN governor

The issue of the exchange rate of the naira to the dollar is a matter of supply against demand.

The CBN has been battling profusely to increase the supply of foreign exchange to the system. Unfortunately, no focus is being placed on stemming or reducing demand pressures.

Areas the CBN should focus on to reduce demand pressures include: Frivolous imports – of petty items; frivolous travels and tours; medical tourism; religious tourism to Jerusalem and Saudi Arabia every year (Over two million people go to Mecca and Jerusalem every year. If we don’t go on religious pilgrimages for a year or two, will the heavens fall?); and education tourism. Most of our children go all over the world for undergraduate courses available in Nigerian universities.

Army killed seven terrorist leaders in months – Defence minister

The Minister of Defence, Muhammad Badaru, has said that military operatives in the last few months killed no fewer than seven top leaders of the insurgency in the country.

The minister said this in an interview with newsmen after addressing members of Senior Course 46 of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji Military Cantonment, on Tuesday in Kaduna.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the minister, who was on a working visit, delivered an address to the course participants at a seminar organised by the college on counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism.

The theme for the seminar was “Imperatives of Operational and Tactical Level Leadership for Enhanced Counter Terrorism, Counter Insurgency  Operations in Nigeria.”

Badaru said, “The government’s commitment to defeating the insurgency is a comprehensive security strategy and community engagement remains unwavering.

“We are pursuing a whole-of-the-government approach in handling the counter-insurgency and anti-banditry operations.”

According to him, there is improvement in the fight against insurgency, adding that insurgency in the North-West occurs from time to time.

The minister added, “We cannot be able to put boots in every corner of the country, so as every other country.

“The military are not enough, what the bandits do is take advantage of soft targets.

“They find out where there is the absence of the military, they attack and run to the bushes.”

Badaru stressed that the military was following them up and would defeat them.

He disclosed that the military would deploy technology for surveillance and tracing to find the terrorists and deal with them decisively.

“From what you have seen, in the last few months, the military have killed about seven big leaders of the insurgency.

“We are working hard to continue defeating them, and we are making progress,” he added.

On the issue of a non-kinetic approach to the fight against insurgency, he said many of the insurgents were surrendering.

He, therefore, said that they were accepting and de-radicalising the insurgents and re-interpreting them back into society, while those who didn’t want to repent would be dealt with and decimated.

Speaking further after a tour of some of the military facilities and formations in the cantonment, Badaru said some of the facilities were meant to train special forces to fight insurgency.

The minister said a total of 2,400 of the special forces would be trained and the first phase would begin with 800 military personnel.

He explained that the special forces would be saddled with the responsibility of tackling the insurgents till they were done with them while disclosing that the training would begin in two months.

“There are enough fighting equipment and platforms, which after the training, they will go into the forests and fish out the terrorists,” he said.

The minister acknowledged the different types of training camps which included that of peacekeeping troops, who would be deployed to Sudan, among others.

According to him, this signifies the level of commitment to peace by the Federal Government and the military.

Badaru commended the personnel in charge of the different trainings, adding that what he saw had reinvigorated his belief that the government would be able to surmount the security challenges in the country.

He charged the personnel to be active, and creative and always think ahead to continue defeating the criminals.

Customs boss inspects Illela border forward of re-opening

As part of preparation for the re-opening of Illela Border, the newly deployed Customs Area Controller, Sokoto/Zamfara Command, Comptroller Kamal Mohammed, paid a working visit to Illela Border Station on Tuesday to ensure all was set in anticipation of the last order.

Recall that following the recent military coup in the neighbouring country, the Niger Republic, which led to the seizure of power by the military junta and the arrest of the democratically elected President Mahmoud Bazoom, the leadership of the Economic Community of West Africa States ordered the closure of all land borders with the country with immediate effect.

The ECOWAS leaders, however, about a week ago, in their meeting in Abuja, reviewed some of the earlier sanctions imposed on the country, which included the restoration of power supplies and the opening of all land borders.

The comptroller, who was accompanied by his management team when addressing stakeholders, stated that “with the lifting of ECOWAS sanctions on the Niger Republic and the subsequent restoration of power supply to the Niger Republic.

“It is on this premise that I came to ensure all is set for the re-opening of the Illela Border. We await the last order.”

The CAC also charged stakeholders and security agencies at the border post with the need for cooperation, especially in the area of intelligence and information sharing, as well as joint operations towards safeguarding the national border.

He said, “With collaboration, each agency will be able to effectively and efficiently fulfil its assigned mandate.”

The Area Controller further appreciates the Customs Licencing Agents for their patience during the seven (7) months of border closure.

He stated, “We know it has not been easy for you, but God willing, it will soon become history.”

Comptroller Kamal Mohammed also thanked the Illela Community for their hospitality, stating that, as part of Corporate Social Responsibility, the service has awarded the construction of primary health care at the border station, which, when completed, will cater to both officers and the Illela community.

The Comptroller also paid homage to Sarkin Gobir of Gwadabawa, Muhammad Zayyanu, where he called on the Royal Father to educate his ward against the menace of smuggling to the economy of the country.

Kane shines as Bayern beat Lazio to succeed in Champions League quarters

Harry Kane scored a goal in each half as Bayern Munich beat Lazio 3-0 on Tuesday to reach the Champions League quarter-finals 3-1 on aggregate.

Kane headed Bayern level in the tie in the 38th minute, cancelling out Lazio’s lead from the first leg with his first Champions League knockout goal in five years.

Thomas Mueller doubled the hosts’ lead with a clever header before half-time and Kane doubled up in the 66th minute, tapping in the rebound from a Leroy Sane shot to seal Bayern’s progress to the next round.

Bayern kept their slim hopes of silverware this season alive while likely giving outgoing coach Thomas Tuchel a stay of execution until the quarter-finals in April.

The loss snuffed out Lazio’s chance of a first Champions League quarter-final appearance since 1999-2000.

Six-time European champions Bayern came into Tuesday’s match staring down the barrel of a last-16 elimination for just the second time in the past 14 seasons.

Three straight losses including the 1-0 defeat in the first leg in Rome amounted to Bayern’s worst run since 2015, costing Tuchel his job less than a year after arriving in Munich.

With Tuchel allowed to keep the seat warm until the summer, the coach promised to be more “ruthless”.

On Tuesday, he benched big-money signing Kim Min-jae for Eric Dier, while moving Joshua Kimmich — a fixture in midfield for Bayern and Germany — to right-back.

Bayern pushed Lazio back early with the fit-again Sane and Jamal Musiala going close.

Scorer of the first-leg’s only goal, Ciro Immobile had a golden chance to extend Lazio’s lead after a Matthijs de Ligt mistake on 36 minutes but dragged his header just wide.

The miss would prove costly with Kane breaking through moments later, heading in a scuffed Raphael Guerreiro shot to even up the tie.

Mueller, another to see more game time after the announcement of Tuchel’s impending departure, doubled Bayern’s lead in first-half stoppage time, heading in a De Ligt shot in trademark poacher fashion.

Despite 31 goals in 32 games since arriving from Spurs in the summer, the German media joked the famously trophyless Kane had cursed Bayern, in danger of a first season without silverware since 2012.

The England captain made sure Bayern stayed in Europe though, turning in from close range after Sane forced a save from Lazio ‘keeper Ivan Provedel, his 33rd goal in as many appearances this season.

With Lazio striker Immobile taken off with a knee injury, the visitors looked toothless in attack as Bayern gently controlled proceedings to take the sting out of the game.

Bayern kept their first clean sheet in eight games with captain Manuel Neuer equalling the Champions League record of 57 set by Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas.

Mbappe double fires PSG previous Actual Sociedad to Champions League quarters

Mbappe double fires PSG previous Actual Sociedad to Champions League quarters

Kylian Mbappe lethally fired Paris Saint-Germain into the Champions League quarter-finals with a brace in a 2-1 win at Real Sociedad on Tuesday, his team cruising through 4-1 on aggregate.

Coach Luis Enrique has slashed Mbappe’s minutes in recent weeks after the player told the club he would leave at the end of the season, but the France captain proved he will be vital if PSG are to finally win the competition for the first time.

The electric Mbappe was impossible for Real Sociedad to shackle and his strikes after 15 and 56 minutes left the Ligue 1 leaders with a simple night in the north of Spain.

Heavily linked to Real Madrid, the determined Mbappe gave La Liga’s defences a glimpse of what horrors may await them next season.

The forward fired over in the opening stages and then blazed past Hamari Traore to set up Bradley Barcola, but Alex Remiro denied him from point-blank range.

It was not so much that Real Sociedad did not heed the warning but simply could not stop him.

Played into the box but wide of goal, Mbappe produced the opener from thin air.

With a couple of clever touches he sent Igor Zubeldia scrambling and opened up enough space for a shot, which he whipped into the far corner from a tight angle.

Mbappe’s vicious strike pulled part of the netting away from the post and players had to wait until it was fixed for play to resume.

They might not have bothered — the contest was effectively over.

Mbappe stretched PSG’s lead 11 minutes into the second half, racing in behind the defence from the halfway line.

The striker shaped another shot to the far post but then tricked Remiro by sweeping home at the near for his sixth goal in eight Champions League matches this season.

Real Sociedad substitute Ander Barrenetxea had a goal ruled out for a tight offside moments after coming on.

Gianluigi Donnarumma made a superb save to thwart Benat Turrientes, as the hosts finally began to threaten consistently, in search of a consolation goal which finally came at the death.

Donnarumma palmed away a cross into the middle of the box and Mikel Merino was in the right place at the right time to fire home.

Another of the few negative notes for PSG was a booking for defender Achraf Hakimi, which will rule him out of the quarter-final first leg.

PSG will worry about that later — this was a night to celebrate Mbappe’s genius, despite the clock ticking down on his days in Paris.

FG offers N150,000 grants to 200 individuals at Ogun MSMEs health facility 

Vice President Kashim Shettima, on Tuesday, announced a N150,000 cash grant for exhibitors at the second edition of the National Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises clinic.

A grant of N100,000 was also given to over 200 owners of new stores at the Modern Adire International Market, Asero, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

The National MSME Clinic was held at the June 12 Cultural Centre, Kuto, Abeokuta.

Shettima further disclosed that the clinic would serve as a bridge between the people and the government, adding that the clinics would serve as lifelines for enterprises in the state and the country as a whole.

He said, “Each exhibitor present at the clinic today stands to gain from our MSME instant grant of N150,000 each, courtesy of our esteemed private sector and His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“I hereby announce that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed that almost 200 new applications within this market be granted free of charge to small business traders for one year and each of them should enjoy a grant of N100,000.”

The Vice President noted that Ogun State is not only the industrial powerhouse of the nation but a committed supporter of the Federal Government’s efforts to support enterprises and empowerment.

He stated that his coming to the state signified the need to support businesses and transform ideas into commercially viable ventures, saying clinic was  a strategic intervention to fortify the foundation of small businesses

“The clinics serve as a link between the people and government. Small Businesses are now afforded platforms to present their business challenges, and seek timely intervention of monetary agencies all in an attempt to eliminate the task of navigating from one agency to another in their efforts to build the next unicorn out of Africa,” Shettima added.

Also speaking, Governor Dapo Abiodun said his administration had launched the Small and Medium Enterprises Industrial Land Acquisition Scheme with a 1,000 hectares industrial hub that has needed amenities like good roads, power, among others.

“The SME park is aimed at providing incentives to SMEs way below the market rate. There will be many incentives through industrial ownership and accelerated processing of their CoO which can be used as collateral for further financing.

“Other benefits of the park will include rebates on taxes and levies such as Land Use charges, building permits, land processing fees, etc. This park will cover agro-allied, agro-processing, home and personal care building materials and chemicals, food processing,” the governor said.

326,000 tickets for Paris Olympics opening rite, minister says

326,000 tickets for Paris Olympics opening rite, minister says

A total of 326,000 tickets are set to be sold or given away for the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics on the river Seine, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said Tuesday, giving the exact number for the first time.

Organisers have scaled back their plans for the waterborne parade – with crowds once imagined as large as two million people – in the face of resistance from French security services and worries about terror attacks.

But it is still set to break records in terms of size, with all previous opening ceremonies taking place in the main athletics stadium.

“We will have 104,000 spectators on the lower bank who have paid for a ticket,” Darmanin told a hearing in the Senate. “Then you have 222,000 people on the higher banks (with free tickets).”

He estimated that another 200,000 people would watch the open-air parade on July 26 along the river from buildings that overlook the Seine, with an additional 50,000 in fan zones in the capital.

The open-air ceremony on boats is in keeping with promises to make the Paris Olympics “iconic”, with the local organising committee keen to break from past traditions in the way it stages the world’s biggest sporting event.

The 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics ceremony is generally considered to be the most spectacular in history while the 2012 London ceremony, overseen by “Trainspotting” director Danny Boyle, won rave reviews for showcasing Britain’s quirky side.

– ‘Confidence’ –

A total of 180 boats are set to sail around six kilometres (four miles) down the Seine, of which 94 will contain athletes, the top security official for the Paris region, Marc Guillaume, told the same hearing.

“No country has informed us that they do not want to take part,” Darmanin explained. “They have confidence in our organisation.”

The executive in charge of planning and risk management at the Paris organising committee told AFP last week that special security measures would be considered for high-risk delegations such as those from the US or Israel.

“Every delegation has its unique circumstances, and we’ll look at solutions that are adapted to the risk,” Lambis Konstantinidis said.

The Olympics have been targeted with attacks in the past, notably Munich in 1972 and Atlanta in 1996.

France was placed on its highest alert for terror attacks in October after a suspected Islamist burst into a school in northern France and stabbed a teacher to death.

The country has been consistently targeted by Islamic extremists over the last decade, particularly by the Islamic State group, while Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza is seen as exacerbating domestic tensions.

Around a million people are set to be screened in advance by French security forces for possible security risks, including athletes, journalists, private security guards and people who live close to key infrastructure.

Darmanin repeatedly stressed the scale of the challenge of securing the Games, which are set to take place at venues around the City of Light, including at tourist hotspots such as the Eiffel Tower, the Place de la Concorde and the Invalides.

The event takes place from July 26 to August 11 followed by the Paralympics from August 28 to September 8.

The Olympics is a major international multi-sport event where athletes from different countries compete in a variety of sports. The Olympic Games are divided into the Summer and Winter Games, held every four years, with the Summer and Winter Games occurring in alternating even-numbered years.

The International Olympic Committee is responsible for organising and overseeing the Olympic Games.

FG guarantees to give a boost to capability on procurement

The Federal Government on Tuesday pledged to enhance human capacity in sustainable procurement, environmental, and social standards in both the public and private sectors in the country.

The Minister of Environment, Balarabe Lawal, said this during the inauguration of the Working Group on Environmental Standards for the Sustainable Procurement, Environmental and Social Standard Enhancement Project in Abuja.

Lawal said the working group represents a pivotal step in the collective commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable development.

He said, “By incubating this initiative, aimed at enhancing human capacity in sustainable procurement, environmental, and social standards in both the public and private sectors, they have demonstrated a clear vision and dedication to creating a more sustainable future for all.

“The SPESSE programme seeks to address a critical gap in our country’s capacity, including the inadequate supply of qualified professionals in procurement, environmental management, and social standards. We have recognised the need for a stronger pool of professionals in procurement, environmental management, and social standards.

“This project will play a pivotal role in filling this void, equipping our workforce with the expertise needed to drive sustainable practices across various sectors. By establishing this working group, we are taking a proactive step toward bridging this gap and building sustainable capacity in these sectors. This is essential not only for the success of the project but also for the long-term sustainability and resilience of our economy and society.”

He also said the initiative is integral to our broader goals of enhanced capacity for global competitiveness, economic growth and job creation.

“A skilled workforce is essential to driving innovation and resilience. By developing and implementing an effective National certification scheme, we are not only investing in the future of our environment but also in the prosperity of our nation.

“The working group holds a central place in our efforts to enhance support and foster relevant stakeholders collaboration, both of which are fundamental pillars of the SPESSE Project Development Objectives. By uniting line experts and harnessing their collective expertise, the Working Group on Environmental Standards will play a crucial role in supporting the Project Implementation Unit in developing a nationally and globally respected certification scheme.

“This scheme will not only raise the bar for environmental standards in our country but also position us as a leader in sustainable development on the international stage,” he added.

The SPESSE project coordinator, Rofikat Odetoro noted that the FG obtained financing from the World Bank-International Department Association for funding sustainable capacity building in Nigeria in the fields of procurement, environmental, and social standards.

“The project was approved on February 18, 2020, shortly before the lockdown of government operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic with expected closing date of October 31, 2024. However, the project was extended to 2027 because of the pandemic.

“The project is designed to build the capacity of professionals in the management and practice of PES standards within the country.

“The project is also intended to bridge the gap of insufficient supply of quality supply of quality professionals and develop appropriate academic programmes and curriculum in the Nigerian Education System to build appropriate capacity,” Odetoro said.

NSITF reworking alongside Tinubu’s eight-point agenda- MD

The Managing Director of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund, Maureen Allagoa,  has said the agency was been re-modeled in line with the eight-point agenda of the President Bola Tinubu administration while urging the management and staff of the Fund to key in.

She spoke at the maiden edition of the Fund’s Central Management Performance Review meeting in Abuja.

Allagoa, in a statement signed by the General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Nwachukwu Godson, on Tuesday, said, “It is my expectation that the next two days will avail us the opportunity and the platform for target setting for 2024 as well as a comprehensive and comparative review of the 2023 target performances as branches and as regions, with a view to learning from our shortcomings and improving on our successes for a target-surpassing 2024.

“The Employees’ Compensation Scheme is fortuitously in alignment with the poverty reduction and healthy national workforce agenda of the Tinubu administration. The cardinal place we occupy as the operators of the scheme in achieving this lofty national objective demands doubling down, meaning  an extra mile for us to ensure we leave no gaps in fully fulfilling our mandate.

“I am glad that we have left no stone unturned barely a year we came on board, as we broadened the bracket of beneficiaries of different categories of claims and compensations by the  deserving  registered injured workers while exploring other aspects of the ILO Convention 102 to widen the horizon of social inclusion to all Nigerians.”

Commending the staff of the agency for the unprecedented 98% projected target achieved in 2023,  Allagoa expressed confidence that the record will be surpassed  in 2024, exhorting all staff to do more.

She further expressed satisfaction with the results of the conclusions from the last regional management performance review  as well as the monthly review held in October and December 2023 respectively, stating that the 32 strategic observations arising therefrom, provided a compass for a successful planning and navigation of the ECS.

“The 32 observations raised at the regional management review  was comprehensively deliberated on at several EXCO meetings and have indeed catalysed the management into an informed decisions making, leading to new strategies to  achieve our 2024 target and even surpassing it,” the statement said.

The Managing Director  also announced  new operational policies and strategic action plans to include  the adoption of the ECS compliance certificates  as part of bidding requirements for contracts in the states of the federation, harmonised ECS central database in all branches and regions to forestall double registration, aggressive registration of new employers and segmentation of all coverage areas to ensure effective enforcement,  intensification of the occupational safety and health awareness to reduce workplace accidents and ensuring that all staff participate in at least one training a  year.

Pending approval by the Board also, the Managing Director further announced the re-alignment of the  Ilorin Branch of the Fund from Abuja Region to Ibadan Region and  Yenegoa Branch from Asaba Region to the Port Harcourt Region as well as  Onitsha Branch from Enugu Region to the Owerri Region on the basis of proximity and ease of operation.

She re-stated the commitment of executive management  to staff welfare.

Allagoa noted, “Management is in conversation with Pro Health, our Health Insurance provider with a view to kick-starting a review of the health insurance plan for staff to ensure that you continue to receive adequate medical care irrespective of the escalating costs of things in the country.”

She assured that the promotion exercise for the outstanding 2023 and 2024 will commence in no distant time as the parent Ministry of labour and Employment rounds off its intervention in the matter.
