Sarmaan Project, committed to drug administration to reduce child mortality in Nigeria, said it recorded a milestone in its pilot phase with the successful treatment of over 36,000 children with azythromycin drugs to enhance their life expectancy in the Ikono Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.

 

It has also engaged caregivers to demonstrate the usefulness of the drugs in the state.

 

The Project Coordinator, Dr Teyil Wamiyel-Mshella, disclosed this in Uyo while fielding questions from newsmen during the close-out ceremony of the safety and anti-microbial resistance of mass administration of azythromycin to children aged 1-11 months in Ikono LGA on Friday.

 

Wamiyel-Mshella, who coordinates the project for Sightsavers, an international non-governmental agency, explained that the pilot phase conducted in the LGA was aimed at ensuring that children between the age bracket of 1-11 months receive the drugs under strict monitoring to ascertain its safety and anti-microbial resistance in children

 

“Sarmaan project is a very good project that was introduced in Nigeria in 2020 with a field work and so far, it been very successful. The aim of the project was mainly to ensure that children between 1-11 months in the LGA where we piloted it, will receive acithromycin and along side, we will be monitoring the safety of the medicine and also the anti-microbial resistance for azythromycin

 

“Azythromycin is a very good medicine, it’s an antibiotics that is used for the treatment of many ailments that affect children and also contribute to infants to children deaths between 0 to 05 years. So this drug was used mainly to show the effects of it on child survival, that is why we were monitoring the safety of the medicine and it anti-microbial resistance.

 

“We have been able to treat over 36,000 children in Ikono LGA, and we were able to engage with caregivers for them to know the usefulness of the medicine ,” Wamiyel-Mshella said

 

She expressed satisfaction with the level of acceptability of the project in the LGA, and called on the state government to key into it to bridge the infant mortality gap in the state.

 

In his remarks, the Commissioner for Health, Dr Ekem John who was represented by Dr Etop Antia, Director of Public Health, Ministry of Health, commended all the partners for making the project a success.

He said, “I want to recognise the good people of Ikono LGA, the Chairman, the Paramount Ruler, who allowed this activity to succeed. The SARMAAN project was expected to complement ongoing child survival interventions in low and middle-income countries.

 

“The mass drug administration of azithromycin drugs, whose life-saving potential was highlighted in the model trial, which demonstrated instability to lower early childhood mortality when administered biannually to infants.

 

“In Akwa Ibom State the intervention was implemented using Routine immunization programme . Infants aged one to eleven months received azythromycin every six months for 2 years(2022 to 2024)

 

“The implementation was made possible through the collaborative partnership led by the Department of Family Health, Federal Ministry of Health, funded by the Gate Foundation while Sightsavers spearhead the implementation”.

 

Also speaking at the occasion, the Executive Secretary, Akwa Ibom State Primary Health Care Development Agency, Dr Eno Attah, appreciated the Federal Ministry of Health for considering Akwa Ibom State as one of the states for the pilot project

Attah, who was represented by Mrs Margaret Etim, Director of Health Education and promotion, lauded the initiative and the focus of the project on children, emphasising that children are very vulnerable when it comes to disease infection as they are unable to detect where exactly they feel.

 

A stakeholder in Ikono Community, Hon Emem Joseph Uwah, who spoke with our correspondent, also expressed happiness about the project and the commitment of the officials towards it success in the Council.

 

“They did their work diligently; they went through creeks, we have riverine areas but they were never scared and our children will feel the healthiness in them. We have seen improvement in this drug and I want to thank WHO, the federal and the state government for choosing our Local Government for the pilot scheme, for which we are the first beneficiary,” Uwah said.

 

A Nigerian televangelist, Timothy Omotoso, has been rearrested weeks after he was acquitted of multiple rape charges.

 

South African police authorities and the Home Affairs Department confirmed that the televangelist was arrested early on Saturday morning in East London.

 

PUNCH Online reports that the 66-year-old pastor at the Jesus Dominion International church based in South Africa was arrested in 2017 on 32 charges, including rape, sexual exploitation and human trafficking.

 

Several young women, some of whom were still in school at the time, testified that they were handpicked by Omotoso, who would pray for forgiveness after each encounter with them.

 

However, Omotoso was released last month, nine years after he was jailed to be tried on charges of raping and sexually assaulting several young women from his church.

Omotoso was acquitted last month on all 32 charges of rape, trafficking and sexual assault against him.

 

Confirming the development, National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola said Omotosho’s rearrest was based on immigration matters, adding that he will appear in court on Monday.

 

He said, “Well, I know it’s Omotoso. He was arrested this morning around 5 o’clock in East London as he was finishing the church,” said

 

“Inspectorate immigration of the Department of Home Affairs, together with the South African Police Service and TRT [Tactical Response Team], did effect the arrest.

 

“The arrest is based on immigration matters. He will appear in court somewhere around Monday, and everybody will know exactly what charges he’s facing. But it’s immigration-related matters.”

 

The Nigeria Air Force has organised a career day for Dikko College, Katsina, in Katsina State as part of its Civil-Military Relations programme to mark its 61st anniversary nationwide.

 

According to the Air Force, the event was meant to create a cordial relationship between the public and the Air Force, toward eliciting information that would enable their operations.

 

Speaking on the significance of the initiative and the choice of the College for the career day, the Commander 2134 Operating Base Nigeria Air Force Katsina and Joint Force Air Component Commander, Operation Fansan Yamma, Sector 2, Air Commodore Ibrahim Jibia highlighted the importance of its operations which was based on public trust and engagement.

 

He said, “This Day is a reflection of our commitment to transparency and pride in service.

 

“This is part of an initiative by the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Bala Abubakar, which, according to him, was to defend the sky and to defend the land and those who call it home.

 

“This is to be carried with pride and honour. And to also let Nigerians know that the task of the Air Force was to defend them against all the vulnerabilities we have currently.

 

“From the persistent operation against insecurity, the country is enjoying and realising this the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu has taken it as a personal commitment to invest and spend as much as he can in the Armed Forces realising that you cannot achieve socio-economic development of you are not secured.

“He has invested so much, especially in the Nigeria Air Force, through different platforms such as training, welfare schemes, which were intensified.”

 

Jibia said the choice of the college that produced two former Presidents, Muhammadu Buhari and Umaru Musa Yar’adua, was based on the current challenges facing secondary school students in choosing a career, which is not unconnected with the destinies of most of them truncated as a result of uninformed career decisions.

 

“This government college, Katsina, now Dikko College Katsina, is a very historic school that has produced two former Nigerian presidents, Muhammadu Buhari and Umaru Musa Yar’adua, Emirs, military generals, including myself. For us to conduct this career day in Dikko College, Katsina, is also a comeback home for me, and to assess not only the infrastructural challenges but also the academic standards of the college.

 

“I am pleased to realise that the State Governor, Dikko Umar Radda, is doing enormous work in terms of infrastructure in the school, and I learnt that the Governor was here last week to supervise the ongoing work in the college. I believe most of the dilapidated structures here will be gone by the end of this year.

 

“For us, the old boys, accessing the level of education of the pupils, we have to contribute our quota in addition to what the government is doing, so we bring the brains that we really want to see and associate with in terms of academic standing that the college was known for. We will revive the lost glory of the college.

 

“Everybody has a part to play in the nation’s building, no matter the level of attainment. Students of this college should realise that this school has produced notable Nigerians hence they should live up to the expectation if they must remain the ambassadors of this college because what I have seen today is below expectations like I said, it is also part of our responsibilities as old boys to look back that what we benefited free of charge, we deserve to replicate it,” he added.

 

A former Governor of Kano State and the National Leader of Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Rabi’u Kwankwaso has slammed some key members of the New Nigerian Peoples Party in Kano State, who recently defected to All Progressives Congress, describing their actions as betrayal of the the movement and party.

 

Kwankwaso made the remark at his Miller Road residence in Kano on Friday evening when he received hundreds of supporters from Takai Local Government who refused join the All Progressives Congress.

 

Recall that Senator Abdulrahman Kawu, who represents Kano South Senatorial District at the National Assembly, recently defected to the APC along with some federal lawmakers from Kano State.

 

Even though Kwankwaso did not mention their names, he said,” Kano South is a lesson. Voters rejected superghetti, N200 and Atamfa (wrappers) and were patient to vote for the NNPP.

 

“But those who won the election among us decided to abandone the masses and join those who do not have the masses at heart but are only after what they will get for themselves and their families.

 

“There is no worse political sin than leaving the party that gave you the opportunity and support but later you abandoned the party. This is the highest level of betrayal,” Kwankwaso said.

He, therefore, advised the youth to be wary of such politicians who are not after their well-being but rather they are after their pockets.

 

The former governor, who appreciated the decampees for “taking the courage to return to their base, said all those who betrayed Kwankwasiyya would regret their actions sooner or later.

 

“Fighting Kwankwasiyya is not an easy task, they will not know until when they engage in the fight.

 

In his remark, the state NNPP chairman, Hashimu Dungurawa thanked the decampees for taking the right step and assured them that the party would treat them equally.

 

The occasion was witnessed by the Senator representing Kano Central, Senator Rufai Sani Hanga, former Commissioner of Religious Affairs, Falali and chairman of Takai local government, Ibrahim Faruruwa among others.

 

The Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has ordered an immediate ban on the sale of petrol in filling stations in Bama Local Government Area as part of efforts to address the lingering insecurity.

 

A statement on Saturday by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, Dauda Iliya, said the measure is part of the state government’s strategic response to counter insurgency operations.

 

The statement said the ban was issued after due consultations with security agencies in the state and is aimed at addressing the prevailing security challenges in the state.

 

“I have directed the immediate ban on the sale of petrol in Bama town, Banki, and other parts of Bama Local Government Area with immediate effect,” Zulum stated.

He warned that anyone found violating the directive would face the full weight of the law.

 

“Let me make it clear—there will be no sacred cows in the enforcement of this ban. Security agencies have been given strict orders to clamp down on any filling station or individual contravening this directive. Anyone found culpable will be dealt with accordingly,” he warned.

 

Zulum reiterated his administration’s commitment to restoring lasting peace in the state and called for the support and cooperation of citizens in the ongoing fight against insurgency

 

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje, has said the senators from Kebbi State, elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party were set to defect to the party.

 

Ganduje said this while addressing State House correspondents after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa on Friday.

 

The APC chairman led Dr Nasir Idris, the Gov. Nasir Idris of Kebbi and Senators Adamu Aliero, Yahaya Abdullahi and Garba Maidoki to the meeting with Tinubu.

 

He said a lot of discussions went underground between the major stakeholders in Kebbi and that they came to the conclusion that the three PDP senators from the state would decamp to the APC.

 

“This is a good development and it is in consonance with what is happening in Nigeria today.

 

“Almost every week in the Senate and House of Representatives, you see members of other political parties decamping to our party.

 

“So, we came here so that Mr President will bless this resolution and he has graciously given his blessing, and by Tuesday you will see what will happen in the Red Chambers.

“Our constitution is very clear about this, and with our political dexterity in managing such affairs, I assure you that there will be a smooth integration,” said the APC chairman.

 

He added that the fear of one-party state was misplaced.

 

”We are not saying we are working for a one-party system, but if this is the wish of Nigerians we cannot quarrel with that.

 

“You know they say too many cooks spoil the soup; too many political parties spoil governance,” he said.

 

Ganduje said that the move was in continuation with the initiative of Tinubu, saying, “APC must do what we must do democratically in order to increase our numerical strength, and also our quality and capacity of followership.”

 

NAN

 

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has disclosed that a blind candidate hired a fellow blind man as an impersonator to sit the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination on his behalf.

 

According to the Registrar of the Joint Admission Matriculation Board, JAMB, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, the blind impersonator is an undergraduate.

 

Oloyede who spoke at a press briefing on Friday, said the board remained committed to providing the necessary support for persons with disabilities aspiring to pursue tertiary education.

 

He said, “The Prof. Peter Okebukola-led JAMB Equal Opportunity Group continues to demonstrate exceptional dedication in ensuring that these candidates are able to sit examinations, regardless of their challenges,” Oloyede said while giving a brief on the 2025 UTME in Abuja.

 

“JAMB refunds to the blind and some categories of challenged candidates their registration fee in addition to providing transportation, lodging and feeding for them. For the 2025 UTME, a total of 501 candidates were successfully examined by JEOG across 11 centres nationwide. The results are also being released today.

“Sadly, one of them was also involved in impersonation by recruiting an undergraduate student who is also blind to come and write for another blind candidate.”

 

The 2025 UTME results were officially released to the public on Friday.

 

Ahead of the release, JAMB provided statistics on the performance of the 1.9 million candidates who participated in the exam. The figures show a staggering outcome as over 1.5 million candidates scored below 200, which is considered the average benchmark.

 

The UTME, which is scored over a total of 400 marks, tests candidates across four core subjects. While the Use of English is mandatory for all, candidates are allowed to choose three other subjects relevant to their intended course of study.

 

Reacting to the performance data, the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, said the results reflect the effectiveness of government efforts to curb exam malpractice.

 

Protests rock councils over controversial list

Party defends consensus, denies allegations

Crisis is brewing within the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress ahead of the July 12 local government elections, as many chairmanship aspirants and party leaders have kicked against what they described as a plot to impose candidates.

 

The aggrieved members and leaders, drawn from various local government areas and local council development areas, accused key figures within the party of attempting to sideline grassroots democracy by handpicking candidates rather than allowing a level playing field.

 

The Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission had, in April, released the timetable and guidelines for the commencement of the electoral process for the 57 council chairmanship seats and 376 councillorship positions spread across the state’s 20 LGAs and 37 LCDAs.

 

The announcement came as the tenure of the current local council officials is set to end in July.

The PUNCH reported that the party pushed for the adoption of consensus in selecting candidates for the party’s council primaries, scheduled for Saturday (today).

 

Following the party’s decision, Saturday PUNCH gathered that party leaders in various LGAs set up internal committees to screen aspirants and streamline those to be adopted as consensus candidates.

 

However, the move has sparked outrage among some aspirants and party members, who allege that the process was being used to impose preferred candidates rather than allowing for fair competition.

 

The situation is said to have led to protests in some local councils, with party members alleging subversion of the democratic process.

 

In Ojokoro LCDA, a group of party leaders, under the auspices of Ojokoro Apex Council, reportedly screened three chairmanship aspirants, out of which one Mobolaji Sanusi, emerged as the consensus candidate.

 

Sanusi’s emergence was announced in a letter signed by former members of the House of Representatives, Ipoola Omisore and Adisa Owolabi, and addressed to the state APC chairman, Cornelius Ojelabi.

 

Attached to the letter was the signature page of the consensus resolution, showing the names of the party leaders and their signatures.

 

The signatories included the incumbent chairman of the LCDA, Idowu Tijani.

 

However, trouble started a few days later when one Rosiji Yemisi emerged as a chairmanship candidate from another screening conducted by a different group of party leaders.

 

A member of the group, who spoke with one of our correspondents on condition of anonymity, accused the apex council of attempting to impose a “foreigner backed by the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudasiru Obasa”, on them as their chairmanship candidate.

He warned that imposing an outsider with no electoral history in Ojokoro would have negative consequences.

 

Protests also erupted in Yaba LCDA over an alleged plot to impose one Babatunde Ojo as the chairmanship candidate of the party.

 

A coalition of concerned landlords, electorates, and political stakeholders in the LCDA raised the alarm over a plot to replace the name of the aspirant who emerged top during the screening exercise with that of Ojo.

 

Saturday PUNCH gathered that another aspirant, William Babatunde, scored 85 per cent to emerge top while Ojo polled 65 per cent and came 11th out of the 14 aspirants screened.

 

The coalition, led by Amoo Ismail, petitioned the First Lady, Mrs Oluremi Tinubu, urging her and the President to intervene and prevent what they described as a repeat of past political imposition that hindered development in the area.

 

“It is important to emphasise that we have credible leaders within our community who are capable of selecting the most qualified candidate from the broad pool of aspirants. It is simply unjust and disheartening to the political stakeholders in the local government that a single individual continues to unilaterally impose a chairmanship candidate upon us.

 

“In light of this, we humbly implore Your Excellency, and His Excellency the President, to kindly intervene and consider alternative options that will better serve the interests of our community.

 

“A more inclusive and consultative approach, one that values the voices of grassroots mobilisers and other key stakeholders, will likely yield a more favourable outcome for both the local government and our great party,” the coalition said.

 

An aide to one of the aspirants, who spoke on condition of anonymity, accused the party leaders in the LCDA of using the name of President Bola Tinubu to justify the imposition of candidates.

 

“They are going around telling us that the President has given the directive on who should emerge. This is false and disrespectful to the President, who is known to support internal democracy,” he said.

 

Lamenting the adoption of the consensus method, Opeyemi Ahmed, the media aide to the outgoing Chairman of Agboyi-Ketu LCDA, Dele Osinowo, accused some party leaders of imposition by single-handedly picking their preferred candidates.

 

Ahmed, in a now-deleted post on Facebook, said the situation, if not checked, might cost Tinubu his re-election bid.

 

“The party is not sincere with its guidelines; from direct to indirect to consensus. We can do better. Let’s give a sense of belonging to everyone. Tinubu needs to win Lagos, but if a few are writing names at the top and using fake strategy to call for consensus at the bottom, then Tinubu should be ready to lose come 2027,” Ahmed said.

 

Speaking on the issue, a chieftain of the party, Fouad Oki, issued a stern warning to party leaders, urging them to embrace internal democracy or risk electoral backlash.

He issued the warning in an open letter titled, “Lagos APC’s crisis of Democracy: Internal strife and the risk to President Tinubu’s stronghold”.

 

“The Lagos APC must choose democracy over cliques. If party managers still believe they know better than voters, permit me to remind you of the stakes: disenfranchised grassroots can sabotage not only council polls, but also general elections to come. Unity forged under injustice is brittle; lasting strength requires inclusivity,” he warned.

 

He added that the APC could either learn from previous political missteps and legal precedents in Lagos or repeat them and suffer the consequences.

 

“Let this op-ed be a rallying cry within the party: abandon the politics of imposition, honour the rights of members, and give Lagosians a real voice. Failing that, our party risks losing Lagos not to an opposition challenger, but to its own internal discord – a disaster that would echo all the way to 2027,” Oki concluded.

 

Reacting to the allegations, the Publicity Secretary of the APC in Lagos, Seye Oladejo, dismissed claims of imposition, insisting that the party had not concluded its primary processes and that consensus remained a legitimate and constitutionally recognised mechanism.

 

He noted that consensus had always worked for the party and helped manage post-primary fallout.

 

Oladejo said, “We have not concluded the process of the primaries, which will be held on Saturday. For those who have been able to reach consensus, there will be affirmation, but for those who have not reached consensus, their delegates will decide who their preferred candidates will be in their respective local governments.

 

“If we have not concluded the process, nobody can allege imposition. Then, where there is consensus, their leaders will need to sign off to indicate that they all agreed on a particular candidate. And when an aspirant is not happy, he can insist on going to the primary and, if he wins, good luck.

 

“Nobody is imposing anything on anybody; we cherish internal democracy in our party, and we have always strived on all of this. So, you cannot allege an imposition, even when the process has not been completed.”

 

Speaking on the reason for the party adopting consensus, he said, “As a party, we see ourselves as members of the same family. Consensus has always been easier to manage, whatever fallout might arise from the process of electing candidates for elections. So, consensus, over time, has worked for us and is recognised by our constitution.

 

“We have an internal mechanism for resolving conflicts or disagreements, and that machinery will be ignited to resolve whatever grey areas arise as a fallout of the primaries. I can assure you that we will take care of it as we have always done.”

 

 

The Federal Capital Territory Administration has approached the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission to seek approval for access to the Natural Resources Development Fund to finance infrastructure projects across the territory.

 

According to a statement on Friday by the Head of Information and Public Relations at the RMAFC, Maryam Yusuf, the delegation from the FCT was led by the Acting Chairman of the FCT-Internal Revenue Service, Mr Michael Ango, who represented the Minister of the FCT, Mr Nyesom Wike.

 

The presentation was made on Wednesday to the Commission’s Fiscal Efficiency and Budget Committee at its headquarters in Abuja.

 

Receiving the delegation on behalf of the Commission, the Chairman of the Committee and Federal Commissioner representing Rivers State, Desmond Akawor, commended the FCT Minister for what he described as “innovative approaches” to developing the capital’s natural resources.

 

“The Commission welcomes the innovative approaches of the Honourable Minister to develop some of the natural resources of the FCT through agriculture, solid minerals, and tourism to accelerate the socio-economic development of the FCT and Nigeria as a whole,” Akawor was quoted as saying.

 

He explained that the 1.68 per cent Development of Natural Resources Fund is one of the special funds established by the Revenue Allocation (Federation Account, etc). Act, CAP A15 LFN, 2004.

 

He said the fund receives direct monthly allocations from the Federation Account and is held in trust for the three tiers of government.

 

According to him, the fund is designed to support economic diversification through investments in agriculture, solid minerals, and tourism.

 

“To access the fund, the Commission established a procedure where the requesting entity is required to make a formal presentation to the Commission through the Fiscal Efficiency and Budget Committee,” he said.

He added that the Committee would carry out a physical assessment to verify the viability of the proposed projects before making recommendations to the President.

 

Akawor assured the FCT team that the Committee would ensure fairness and equity while making its recommendations.

 

“We will be guided by the objectives for which the Fund was established,” he said.

 

In his remarks, Ango, who made the presentation on behalf of the Minister, said the FCT was seeking the funds to implement projects including the rehabilitation and desilting of dams such as Lower Usuma, Pedan, Jabi Lake, and Kilankwa to support year-round crop production; installation of solar-powered irrigation systems; and establishment of six mechanisation service centres.

 

Other proposed projects include the procurement of tractors and equipment for smallholder farmers, provision of on-farm storage and harvesting technology, modernisation of grain and cattle markets, improved veterinary services, and the development of the FCT’s tourism and solid minerals sectors.

During the interactive session, members of the Committee asked questions regarding the objectives, implementation strategy, and expected impact of the projects.

 

Ango, in response, assured the Commission that “the funds would be judiciously utilised if the request to access them is granted.”

 

In his vote of thanks, the Federal Commissioner representing the FCT, Ayuba Jacob Ngbako, commended the FCT-IRS for its vision in boosting internally generated revenue and described the agency’s development strategy as “a key driver of sustainable national growth.”

 

He also reiterated RMAFC’s commitment to fiscal responsibility, accountability, and due diligence in evaluating requests for funding under the Natural Resources Development Fund.

 

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has released the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination results.

 

In this year’s UTME, over 1.5 million out of the 1,955,069 candidates who sat for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination scored below 200 in the just-concluded exam.

 

This was revealed in the statistical analysis of the 2025 UTME results released by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Monday.

 

The statistics indicated that only 420,415 candidates scored above 200 in the 2025 edition of the UTME.

 

The data showed that 75 per cent of the candidates scored below 200 in the exam, with less than 1% scoring above 300.

 

In the statement accompanying the data, JAMB said, “40,247 underage candidates were permitted to demonstrate their exceptional abilities. However, only 467 of these candidates (1.16%) achieved scores that meet the threshold for exceptional ability as defined for the UTME, with their performance in the subsequent three stages still pending.
