By Chinyere Nwoye :

The Anambra State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) in collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has embarked on an assessment tour to Ogbaru Local Government Area to ascertain the current water level.

The aim was to enable NEMA and SEMA team to gather vital information on the flooding situation as well as provide accurate reporting of the current situation of flooding in the area to the federal and the state governments respectively.

The Acting Zonal Coordinator, South East, NEMA, Mrs. Ngozi Echeazu told newsmen that the teams have been drawn early to Ogbaru on the predictions by the Nigeria Meteorological Agency (Nimet), about flooding this year, “and it is here now.”

She noted that the federal government does not want to be caught unawares by this year’s flooding hence the early prediction and warnings to people who are likely to be affected to get prepared.

“The early warning and sensitization is to get you ready so that the flood does not take you unawares by destroying your property or kill anyone.

“After getting a call from a federal house member representing Ogbaru Mr Afam Victor Ogene that some people have been displaced by flood and are in Holding Centres we immediately came for assessment.

“I plead with victims who are yet to move into Holding Centres to do so now while we wait for succour from the government,” she noted.

On his part, the Executive Secretary (ES) SEMA, Chief Paul Odenigbo noted that the essence of this joint assessment from both NEMA and SEMA is to avail them the opportunity of first hand information on the havoc caused by the flood and report to the state government.

The teams were also directed to prepare immediate evacuation of persons into Holding Centres until the surging water recedes.

Mr. Emeka Obi a flood victim pleaded with the government to assist them with food and medication, especially for their children and women as they came to the camp without anything.

The Igboebisi Empowerment Foundation, which came into existence some years ago, gave 22 pupils in Obosi educational life-lines that would enable them to acquire qualitative secondary school education.

The factors of indigence, diligence, and brilliance were the benchmark used to select the beneficiaries of the scholarship scheme.

The well-attended event, which was graced by illustrious sons and daughters of Obosi, took place inside the Cavernous hall of the Obosi town hall.

Pupils who came out with flying colours in the state Common Entrance Examination were selected for the scholarship examination.

Each of the 14 primary schools whose pupils sat the Igboebisi Scholarship Examination selected four pupils for the examination. And 16 pupils from all the schools that participated in the scholarship examination sailed through in the competitive examination.

More so, four pupils from Central School, Obosi, a pupil who executed an engineering feat, and a diligent and obedient pupil from a poor home benefited from the scholarship scheme, too.

The event was opened with prayers said by Venerable Chukwubuihem, who prayed for the sustenance and continuation of the Igboebisi Educational Empowerment Programme.

In his remarks, Dr. Uche Chukwurah, who is one of the directors of the Foundation, said that the idea behind the Foundation is transformational, not transactional. He said, “our volition to support pupils from poor homes to acquire secondary school education had proved that we’re one people, who have not lost our humanity”.

SOLUDO’S WORRY FOR SOCIAL REFORMATION: COMMISSIONER MEFOR MOVES TO ENSURE IMMEDIATE TAKEOFF OF ANCISRO

By Rose Oranye :

Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor, on Friday, October 11, 2024, visited the newly created Anambra Civic and Social Reformation Office (ANCISRO).

Addressing the ANCISRO MD, Sir Chuka Nnabuife, Mefor said he was there to further familiarise himself and look at the office’s core mandate and challenges to see where the ministry can assist in its take off.

He urged the MD to work hard despite initial challenges to re-orientate the youths so that they can see life from a positive perspective. “Governor Soludo wants to see Anambra youths regain perspective and need to imbibe the core values for which Ndigbo are reputed – hard work, resilience, honesty, integrity, enterprise and so on

“The truth is many of our youths don’t believe in hard work anymore. Your agency has to work hard on the issue of drug abuse which to me is escapist in nature. The youths like to hide behind drugs and most of the drugs they take are hard. Hard drugs work on the mind and psyche of the individuals that take them,” he said.

Mefor talked about what he called Opponent Process in drug abuse – the biological changes that make the abuser to require higher dosage as he or she progresses, ultimately leading up to drug dependence and addiction. “Many of the psychedelic and psychotropic substances being abused by youths can irreversibly damage the nervous system, and can result in schizophrenia ie madness, and even death. We have to save our youths,” he said.

Welcoming the commissioner, Sir Nnabuife appreciated the visit, saying he came at a time when the collaboration is well needed, adding that the agency is working to reform the youths against the vices of get-rich-quick syndrome, drug abuse, human rights and environmental abuse, among others and instil in them the core values of Anambra, which is hard work, enterprise, apprenticeship, academic excellence and strong religious faith, among others.

THE RED CAP OF SOLUTION ON DR LAW MEFOR’S HEAD

Maxim Uzoatu :

When the red cap of a titled man bears the legend “Solution is Here”, one must indeed take notice and pay attention.

People are used to seeing “Solution is Here” written on workaday face caps, but this is the first time one is seeing the progressive sign emblazoned on a red cap.

According to tradition, the red-capped Nze does not tell lies, and this happens to be the testament of Dr. Law Mefor ever since he was appointed the Commissioner for Information of Anambra State by Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR.

The cap fits in shining redness on the head of the information guru who is determined to bring to fruition Governor Soludo’s promise of turning Anambra State into a peaceful and prosperous homeland.

Dr. Mefor states upfront that Governor Soludo’s legacies are enduring, stressing that Mr. Governor’s Anambra 2070 vision and his gubernatorial manifesto provide blueprints for the much needed transformation presently happening in the state.

According to the personable Dr Mefor, “Soludo’s vision is to make Anambra a model for other states in Nigeria. He aims to achieve this through infrastructural development, education and economic growth. With his experience and expertise as a former Governor of CBN and his elaborate exposure, Soludo is well-equipped to drive this transformation.”

Mefor informs all that Soludo is building roads with a 20-50-year lifespan, and connecting every local government in Anambra. He reveals that the Governor is setting up internet hubs and laying broadband infrastructure for seamless connectivity.

In the commissioner’s words, “This means that governments after him will not have to worry about infrastructure decay but would rather concentrate on other sectors of the Anambra economy.”

“Soludo’s free education policy will liberate Ndi-Anambra,” he asserts, adding, “His administration promotes cash crops, providing improved seedlings, coconut, and palm oil seeds for a multiplier effect in the next decade. Just like what happened in Ghana, everywhere in Anambra in the coming years will boast of an economic tree that can provide ambiance to the environment and also make money for families in the state, no matter how small.”

Commissioner Mefor assures that Soludo’s government in Anambra will maintain fiscal sustainability, arguing that Anambra now ranks among the top states in terms of fiscal sustainability and viability.

“We now truly have free education in Anambra,” Mefor said. “In all public schools, we should be able to guarantee that every child has access to free and qualitative education, especially to the poorest of the poor. We have posted over 2000 teachers to mission schools as a way of subsidising education. There are no smart teachers without smart schools. We are gradually upscaling technology in our schools, with the current laying of over 2000 fibre optic cables.

Because we declared truly free education, enrolment in public schools increased by 18 percent and out-of-school children dropped by 2 percent, making Anambra the number one state with the lowest percentage of out-of-school children.”

For him, human capital is the greatest asset of Anambra State, and the government is working to create human capital that is productive at home and exportable abroad, leaving no one behind as true progressives.

Dr Mefor makes further revelations thusly: “Soludo has made strides in all sectors of the state economy, including recruitment of 8115 teachers, updating of the STEM education, payment for funding of UBEC, among others. With the mission schools, we still have thousands of teachers in them, and we will continue to pay the billions to cover their salaries. That’s the way we help to subsidise.”

He cites the fact that Anambra has been recognised as the third most viable state to do business in Nigeria, after Lagos and Rivers.

Mefor does not mince words in stating: “Soludo’s initiatives will make Anambra a model for states across Nigeria. Soludo envisions Anambra as a natural one-city state, connecting Ndi-Anambra through road infrastructure and technology. He is working towards 100 percent export from Chinua Achebe International Airport, Umueri, thus connecting Anambra to the world.”

The red cap-wearing commissioner iterates that Governor Soludo uses Anambra’s resources without borrowing, despite the State House of Assembly’s approval for a 100billion Naira loan facility.

Dr Mefor maintains that it is incumbent on Ndi-Anambra to support Soludo’s vision by embracing his policies and participating in the development process, and holding him accountable to his promises.

“By working together, Anambra can achieve its full potential and become a model for other states in Nigeria at large,” Dr Mefor reiterated.

The commissioner leads by personal example through holding meetings with stakeholders such as the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), and granting interviews to the radio and TV stations as well as the print and online media.

He has constituted a Solution Weekly Editorial Board Team to publish and disseminate salient Anambra news. He has also initiated the broadcast programme called “Ask the Commissioner” through which each commissioner in the state can engage with the people directly.

Dr Mefor has visited and pledged support for the Anambra Civic and Social Reformation Office (ANCISRO) newly created by Governor Soludo and headed by Sir Chuka Nnabuife as the MD.

In all, Commissioner Mefor puts in all the rigour and effort everyday toward putting Anambra up top with a red thinking cap of truth on his head that spells – Solution is Here!

HEALTH TEACHERS URGED TO LEVERAGE ON OPPORTUNITIES FOR HEALTH EDUCATION/SENSITIZATION

By Nnedinma Okeke :

Teachers of Health Education in various schools across the 21 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the State, have been urged to leverage on available platforms and opportunities to educate people about their health and well-being.

The Anambra State Health Educator, Mrs Uju Onwuegbuzina made the call during the Health Education Teachers engagement meeting on the forthcoming Intergrated Measles Campaign in the State.

She urged Health Education Teachers to utilise opportunities available to them such as the Parents, Teachers Association (PTA) meeting to educate/sensitize parents on the advantages of accessing antenatal care and family planning services in health facilities.

This she said would help women live more organised and healthy lives.

The Assistant Family Planning Focal Person in the State Ministry of Health (SMOH), Mrs Stella Opia enumerated to the Teachers some advantages of accessing family planning services which helps in child spacing as pregnancy should be by choice not by chance.

According to her, family planning helps to improve the physical and mental health of a woman and man as it would help them be better prepared and plan before welcoming another child.

“This will help the woman rest physically from the nine months journey of carrying a baby before another pregnancy journey and it could also help in the career and productiveness of a woman both in her home and work front.

“Importance of family planning in families and the society at large are numerous,” Mrs Opia reiterated.

She, then, urged the Health Education Teachers to also leverage on the forthcoming Intergrated Measles vaccination campaign to sensitize mothers on the importance of accessing family planning services as it does not prevent one from having more children.
