Nigeria, Set To Be Removed From List Of Polio Endemic Nations



Nigeria is set to be declared  "polio free" country next year, the District Governor of Rotary Club international, District 9110, Mr Kola Sodipo has disclosed.

Speaking to journalists in Abeokuta yesterday, Sodipo stated "We have had over 26 months of no single virus in Nigeria and if it  continues like this, Nigeria will be declared a polio free country next year."

Sodipo stressed that cases of polio in the country had drastically reduced from 388 to zero, assuring "By next year Nigeria will be removed from the list of polio endemic nations."

He revealed that  Rotary Club International had committed over 10 billion US dollars to the eradication of polio "worldwide", adding that the federal government had also committed 300 million US dollars in the last three years for the eradication of the deadly disease in the country.

His words "Since the launch of Rotary’s Polio-Plus in 1985 and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988, we have seen last cases of the disease marked in every continent except two. Currently, Africa has gone two years without polio and will soon be declared "polio free".

He explained that once polio is eradicated in Nigeria, "We can free up approximately 40 billion US dollars in resources that will be used to tackle other diseases."

According to him Rotary has committed itself to raise 150 million US dollars in support of polio eradication by 2020, an effort he said would  be matched with "2:1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation."

Revealing the danger of the polio virus, Sodipo said "The virus spreads from person to person and can invade an infected person’s brain and spinal cord, that cause paralysis."

But explained "If a population is fully immunized against polio, it will be protected against the spread of both wild and vaccine strains of poliovirus."

"Between 2009 and 2017", the Rotary Club Boss said "Nigeria went from 388 cases to zero. In fact, as at 2012, Nigeria had assumed a pariah status in the global polio eradication community because it was singlehandedly responsible for half of the global incidence of polio. Today, due to the efforts and commitment of Rotary and her partners, Nigeria has gone more than two years without polio.

Non Payment Of Bursary: Students Give Ogun Govt. 14 Days Ultimatum


The National Association of Ogun State Students (NAOSS), on Monday, gave the state government 14 days ultimatum to settle the 2016, 2017 and 2018 bursary and award of scholarship to students from the state.

The Association, through its excos revealed that it had written series of letters to the state government on the issues but to no avail.

They lamented that no single student in the State who is also an indigene has ever been awarded a scholarship since the emergence of Amosun's administration in 2015 despite their unrelenting support for him, adding  that their support has instead been  rewarded with disappointment.

In a statement issued by the association, the students described
the payment of bursaries and award of scholarship to them on merit as the only dividend of democracy they want from the state government.

Those who signed the statement were the National President of the association, Com. Peter Adejobi, National Senate President, Sen.Ayankola Muh'sabit, Director Of Bursary, Sen.Ajibade Moruf and the  General Secretary Com.Blessed Ogunleye.

The statement read "The Central Executive Council and Senate House of NAOSS writes on behalf of members across the nation to notify your office (the governor) of the plan of our members to stage the mother of all protests against the non payment of 2016 to 2018 bursary and inability of your administration to award scholarship to students of Ogun state origin since your assumption of office till date.

"There is no doubt in our minds that the only dividend of democracy that the generality of the students of ogun state origin could benefit from your government is the payment of bursaries and award of scholarship to NAOSSITES on merit,  but it's so disheartening that all constructive approaches used on these issues were treated with levity."

"Sir, if our allegation of non-payment of bursary and award of scholarship to students of Ogun State origin against your administration since 2014 lacks merit, we humbly challenge your government to publish and submit a comprehensive list of beneficiaries in the last 5years.

"Mr Governor sir, the architect of modern ogun state, could the opinion of your critics that the payment of bursary in the penultimate year of your first  administration was done to buy naossites support for your second term be true," they quized.

They continued "We have been pushed to the wall and the only option we are left with is to speak in the said language that the government understands

"Your excellency, to avert the unwanted shut down of commercial activities in the state capital, within the time frame of 14 working days of the submission of this letter we urge you to implement the payment of bursaries and award of scholarship to students of ogun state origin and our colleagues at the nigerian law school without further delay", they concluded.
