The event was attended by over a thousand women from various
walks of life.
Speaking on behalf of Wellness at the event was Mrs Adetutu
Afolabi, pharmacist and Executive Director, Wellness.
She said, “Women are like the nexus in most homes, they are
the caregivers who many times ignore their own health needs. For this reason,
we have a role to play in ensuring that women remain a priority where health
needs are concerned. That is the reason we are doing this. The Wellness ‘For
Life’ initiative is a gift that these women will enjoy for the rest of their
lives; without the worry about health care needs, these women can focus on
their families and contribute positively to the society.

Afolabi also stated, “last year at the Hadassah Healing
Conference when we had the maiden edition of the initiative, three women won,
but only one of them showed up. The others didn’t come, possibly because they
thought such gifts for a lifetime was not possible. This year, we are back
again, and we have picked two people from Ikorodu and the last person we picked
today from Yaba. In Ikorodu, we had Mrs. Leji Abosede and Mrs Aribabagun
Adejoke. Today, Mrs Ramota Lawal won through the raffle draw.”
The excited Mrs Ramota Lawal, who resides in Makoko, Yaba
and hails from Ibadan shared with members of the press that she is indeed
grateful to have won such a gift. “I am really grateful to Wellness HMO. By
God’s grace, Wellness will continue to grow and find favour. I got here about 6
AM today and I am thankful that I won,” she said in her native parlance.
Wellness HMO, which has been in existence for over 10 years
has on a yearly basis partnered with the Hadassah Healing Foundation to provide
free health services and screenings for women and the underprivileged.
‘Wellness for Life’ is simply another of their initiative to create and add
more value to these women.
When asked if Wellness HMO would be able to sustain this
initiative, Afolabi promised that “As long as Wellness is in business, we will
ensure the sustainability of this initiative.
She also thanked the convener of the conference, Pastor Nike
for creating the platform that gives Wellness HMO the opportunity to add value
to the lives of women every year. She equally appreciated the women for
attending the yearly conference.
Also weighing in on the state of health insurance in
Nigeria, Afolabi said: “There is the need for better sensitisation on the
benefits of health insurance in Nigeria, and the people too need some mind
shift on making provision for the future unknown as regards their health, which
is the concept of insurance. Health insurance is not a scam, Wellness HMO has
tailored their products to meet individuals’ and corporate organisations’
health needs by giving access to quality healthcare at pocket-friendly rates.”

… as FG endorses consolidated guidelines
Sahara Weekly Reports That Today, in a move to further revitalise the oil and gas industry’s contribution to the Nigerian Economy, Wale Edun, OFR, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, presided over a signing ceremony at the Federal Ministry of Finance headquarters in Abuja endorsing the Consolidated Guidelines for the implementation of Fiscal Incentives for the Oil & Gas Sector – a cornerstone of the Presidential Directive aimed at enhancing the Nigerian oil & gas sector’s global competitiveness whilst stimulating economic growth.
As disclosed during the signing, the Presidential Directives were developed and coordinated by the Special Adviser to the President on Energy, Mrs. Olu Verheijen to ensure a competitive framework for the Nigerian oil & gas industry. These Consolidated guidelines for the fiscal incentives are based on extensive collaboration across Finance and Petroleum Ministries and involved several key regulatory bodies including the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).
According to Mrs. Verheijen, these new measures have been designed to deliver a competitive Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for Oil & Gas Projects and attract over $10 billion in new investments within the next 12-18 months. They also underscore Nigeria’s commitment to reaching its long term oil production target of 4 million barrels per day whilst enhancing the reliability of gas supply for to boost export earnings and fuel Nigeria’s industrialization.
Mrs. Verheijen disclosed that among the guidelines signed were the NUPRC Guideline on Hydrocarbon Liquids Content in a Non-Associated Gas (NAG) Field, essential for accurately categorising and quantifying the hydrocarbon liquid content in these fields. Additional guidelines focused on the applicability of tax credits and allowances for Non-Associated Gas Greenfield Development and the Midstream Capital and Gas Utilization Allowance, providing taxpayers with clarity on the computation of these benefits.
HM Edun, in his remarks, thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for signing the directive in February 2024 to engender growth in the Nigerian oil and gas sector, which had stagnated for over the last decade. He also emphasised the potential of the guidelines, saying, “The idea is to create an atmosphere conducive to international competitiveness such that investment comes in. And in this case, we know it’s foreign direct investment”.
The signing ceremony was attended by various stakeholders, including NNPC Limited, Oil Producers Trade Section (OPTS) and the Independent Petroleum Producers Group (IPPG), further highlighting Nigeria’s unified approach toward reinvigorating its oil and gas sector.
