The Ogun State government on Tuesday took delivery of medical equipment worth N194m from the government of the Czech Republic.

 

The equipment includes fifteen ICU beds, an incubator, children’s cribs, a generator, and a phototherapy machine.

 

Handing over the equipment, the Czech Republic Ambassador to Nigeria, Marek Skoll, to the state governor, Dapo Abiodun in his office, Oke Mosan, Abeokuta, expressed his home government’s delight to support and partner the state government, particularly in the area of health development.

 

Skolil added that the Czech Government is concerned about how Nigeria, being the centerpiece of the regional architecture of the African continent, was not developing not only in terms of infrastructure but also in terms of human and social well-being.

 

The Ambassador who noted his country’s industrial development, mechanization of agriculture, and the health sector, commended the state government for the role it played during the global pandemic.

 

While also noting that the Czech government was bringing an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) center into Ogun, he expressed the belief that the center would help the state government to further develop its healthcare sector.

 

In his remark, Governor Dapo Abiodun commended the Czech Republic for donating the ICU Unit beds, incubator, children cribs, a generator, and a phototherapy machine to the state.

 

“I am glad that at a time when we needed you the most, you chose to support us as a state and a country by extension.

 

“I want to personally appreciate that gesture of donating fifteen ICU beds, an incubator, children cribs, a generator, and a phototherapy machine to us in Ogun State, we appreciate your kind gesture, the equipment is estimated at $47,000; this donation is deeply appreciated,” the governor said.

 

Abiodun, while also calling for collaborations in the area of engineering and air surveillance from the Czech Government, said his administration since it came on board had been able to remove all forms of administration bottlenecks, through business-friendly policies.

 

“We know you are quite experienced in the area of engineering, infrastructure, and agriculture, those are areas, I am so optimistic we can collaborate on. We are looking to deploy air surveillance across the state in terms of using drones, we can also collaborate in this area, as we see security as an important part of our administration,” Abiodun added.

 

He disclosed that his administration was awaiting the donation of about six ambulances before the end of the week, saying his administration is also waiting patiently for the Czech Government to deliver on its promise to donate ambulances to the state.

 

“We are anxiously waiting for those ambulances you promised us. When we assumed office, there were only five ambulances in the state, today, we have twenty ambulances. I think somebody else is donating about maybe five, six ambulances sometimes this week, so, we have about twenty-six. We aim to have about thirty-five to forty ambulances because we want to have one ambulance per state constituency and we have twenty-six of such constituencies.

 

“What we want to do is to provide enough ambulances to make that operational, we are providing ambulances in the primary health care centers, tricycle ambulances for pregnant women in that neighborhood, we are rehabilitating the centers so that they give our people the confidence. At the end of this month, we should have about a hundred of those in place, which is about five per local government, we are hoping to do two-hundred and thirty-six between now and the end of next year.

 

“We are hoping that once we have our Primary Health Care Centers in place, we can launch our health care Insurance Programme as well,” Abiodun submitted.

 

Also speaking, the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Tomi Coker, commended the Czech Republic Government for its numerous support to the state.

 

She disclosed that the medical equipment would be installed in Ijebu-Ife, one of the local communities visited by Ambassador Skolil.

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has cautioned its members nationwide on the blackmail and calls by some section of the national body on the sack of the Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu.

In a statement made available to journalists in Abuja, Dist. Senator Ekundina Segun Elvis,
President of the Senate (NANS), also called for the arrest of a self acclaimed NANS Leader, Akinteye Babatunde Afeez, whom he described as an impostor.

Ekundina described the statement credited to Akinteye as subtle blackmail and a propaganda to discredit the Minister, who is working assiduously on the mandate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to sanitise, make the power sector more efficient and guarantee regular electricity supply to Nigerians.

He said the calls for the removal of both Adelabu and the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, is misguided at this crucial time when both are consistently providing solutions and keeping Nigerians updated about their vision for sustainable growth in both sectors critical to the development of the country.

The NANS Senate President said, “The press release in question targets two crucial aspects of our nation’s development: the hike in petrol price and electricity instability. It is interesting to note that the attack is directed solely at the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) regarding the petrol price hike, while the Ministers of State for Petroleum Resources, who oversees both oil and gas, is conspicuously ignored. This biased approach clearly suggests a hidden agenda and raises questions about the true motives behind this press release.

“Turning to the issue of electricity, it is disheartening to see the Honorable Minister of Power being attacked unjustly. Chief Bayo Adelabu has taken the time to address the nation on multiple occasions, explaining in great detail the complexities surrounding the instability of electricity in our country. He has outlined the steps being taken to resolve these issues, including the stages of implementation, debt repayment, and addressing the existing gaps.

“His explanations have been comprehensive, offering hope that the electricity situation will improve in due course.

“It is evident that this press release is sponsored by the opposition and individuals seeking to tarnish the image of Chief Bayo Adelabu. The history of the self-acclaimed NANS leader, Akinteye Babatunde Afeez, known for attacking personalities for financial gains, raises serious concerns about the credibility and authenticity of this press release.

“A typical example was his self demeaning and blackmail press he released to attack the DG of the National Orientation Agency (NOA). It is clear that the intention here is not to address the issues at hand but to damage the reputation of the Honorable Minister and his contributions to the development of our nation and the Renewed Hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR.

“We issue a stern warning to the writer of this attacking press release and their co-sponsors. While the self-acclaimed NANS leader’s studentship is subject to investigation, we call upon the public to stand against misinformation and propaganda. We urge the security agencies to be vigilant and prevent any illegal gatherings disguised as protests, as they are undoubtedly sponsored by the opposition to disrupt the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR.

“We also call upon President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, to be aware of these miscreants who falsely claim to be student leaders. Their sole objective is to attack and destroy the Renewed Hope Agenda of his administration. However, we want to assure the public, the student community, and the youth that we are closely monitoring these developments.

“We firmly believe that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR will succeed in his endeavors, and no amount of propaganda will derail the progress we are making as a nation.

“This press release is nothing more than a funded propaganda campaign aimed at defaming Chief Bayo Adelabu, the Honorable Minister of Power. We have exposed the hidden motives and called for action against those responsible for disseminating such misleading information. We remain committed to ensuring the truth prevails and that the Nigerian people are not swayed by baseless attacks,” Ekundina stated.

Many calamities could easily be avoided if people commit themselves to listening to helpful advice and warnings especially when they come from respected men of God with good track records.

People have died, companies have collapsed, governments have been ousted, and monarchs have been dethroned because they failed to listen to divine warnings and counsels from proven God’s servants.

Among the respected men of God that often send out warnings to governments, institutions, companies and others is Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church and since 1994 when his ministry started, Primate Ayodele has remained consistent with his prophecies and at the moment, more than 15,000 of his prophecies have been fulfilled.

The recent incident that involved Dana Airline leading to the suspension of the airline’s activities by the Aviation ministry was foretold by Primate Ayodele in March 2023.

When Primate Ayodele released this prophecy, it wasn’t to just speak about the unfortunate incident that will happen but to warn the management of Dana Airline and others to be careful of an imminent crisis.

These were his words:

‘’Let’s pray against any plane crash or a plane that will skid-off its runway. Medview, Airpeace, Dana, Aero Contractor; they must be careful not to have issues and technical problems.’’

In fulfillment of this prophecy, A Dana Air aircraft with registration number, 5N BKI, flying from Abuja to Lagos veered off the runway while landing at the Murtala Mohammed airport in Lagos.

A statement signed by Mr Kingsley Ezenwa, Head of Corporate Communications of the airline, said all the 83 passengers and crew members onboard were unharmed.

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) also suspended Dana Air’s operator certificate following this incident.

Likewise, multiple gas explosions that claimed the lives of several people in Rivers, Ogun, and Lagos state occurred within last week and this week.

In Rivers, The Police Command in Rivers says four people and over 70 vehicles were burnt in Friday’s fuel tanker explosion in the state. The explosion occurred along the Eleme section of the East-West Road in the state at about 7:30 p.m.

In Ogun state, One person was confirmed dead while two others sustained varying degrees of injuries as a gas tanker exploded in Ita-Osin, Abeokuta, Ogun State on Saturday. The accident also left five vehicles burnt.

In Lagos state, Nine persons including a pregnant woman were injured in a gas explosion around the Ajegunle-Apapa area of Lagos State.

Primate Ayodele in his prophecy regarding the gas incident warned Nigerians to pray against tanker explosion, fire outbreak, gas leakage and gas explosion.

These were his words:

‘’Let us pray against a terrible incident that will claim lives. Let’s pray against tanker explosion, fire outbreak, Gas leakage, and Gas explosion. We need to be very careful.’’
