PAP’s Overseas Scholarship Scheme: Otuaro Sends 31 More Scholars to UK

Image
The Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro, has charged the offshore scholarship beneficiaries of the programme to be deliberate about excellence in their studies. Otuaro said that those selected for the programme have no option than to appreciate the President Bola Tinubu administration’s goodwill by excelling academically to justify the sacrifice made for them by the government. Otuaro spoke as another group of 31 offshore post-graduate scholarship beneficiaries of the PAP, on Friday, departed Nigeria for the United Kingdom for studies in various universities. The scholars, who took off from Abuja and arrived in London, were among the 150 beneficiaries who participated in a pre-departure briefing organised in August following their deployment by Dr Otuaro.

FRSC, Kogi Govt Blame Contractors, VIPs, Broken-down Trucks For Persistent Gridlock On Lokoja-Abuja Highway

He said contractors often close long stretches of road without providing alternative passage for motorists, a practice that triggers gridlock. "People always talk about the construction companies but what was discovered is that the construction companies do not sometimes put into cognizance the motoring public when they are doing their construction," Daniel said. The FRSC commander also appealed to VIPs to cooperate with traffic officers on the road. "If there is any se...

From Promises To Performance:How Adeiza Is Driving Ododo's Health Revolution In Kogi

Image
By Rotimi Odofin The story is no longer about what Governor Ododo promised. It is about what Kogites can now see, touch, and experience in the health sector. And at the center of that unfolding transformation is Dr. Abdulazeez Adams Adeiza. For years, healthcare in Nigeria has been trapped in the familiar cycle of promises, budget speeches, foundation-laying ceremonies, and abandoned expectations. Kogi State is beginning to tell a different story. Under Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, healthcare has emerged as one of the administration’s most visible areas of intervention, with the Coordinating Commissioner for Health, Dr. Abdulazeez Adams Adeiza, driving a reform agenda increasingly defined by grassroots access, primary healthcare revitalisation, preventive medicine, emergency response, institutional planning, and measurable performance. This is no longer governance by announcement. It is governance being tested at the point where the government meets the ordinary citizen. Tha...
