Prof Nwosu Finally Honoured for Historic Role in June

In his 2025 Democracy Day address to the nation, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu delivered a solemn and reflective tribute to Nigeria’s democratic journey, anchoring his message on the enduring legacy of June 12, 1993, a day widely regarded as when the freest and fairest election in Nigeria’s history was held. Central to the President’s message was the acknowledgement and recognition of the sacrifices made by heroes and heroines of democracy, both living and dead.

Among the most significant moments of his speech was the posthumous conferment of a national honour on Professor Humphrey Nwosu, the man who chaired the National Electoral Commission (NEC) and conducted the historic 1993 presidential election. Until now, Professor Nwosu had remained largely uncelebrated by the state, despite his instrumental role in organizing and supervising an electoral process that defied the entrenched culture of electoral fraud and impunity that characterized Nigeria’s past.

President Tinubu’s recognition of Professor Nwosu represents not just an act of justice but a symbolic restoration of truth in the nation’s political memory. By honouring the late Professor, the President corrected a historical oversight that had relegated a courageous public servant to the margins of national acclaim. Nwosu’s leadership in deploying the Open Ballot System and presiding over what was widely seen as a peaceful, credible, and transparent election was a watershed moment in Nigeria’s democratic evolution. Yet, for decades, the state had been hesitant to accord him due recognition, largely because the outcome of the election was annulled and politically suppressed.

In honouring Nwosu, President Tinubu gave voice to a long-suppressed national conscience and affirmed that the truth, no matter how long buried, would eventually emerge. It was a profound gesture of reconciliation with the past and a forward-looking affirmation that Nigeria would never again allow those who protect democracy to be forgotten or punished for doing the right thing.

The President’s words were not only an affirmation of democratic ideals but also a recommitment to the principle that the Nigerian people must remain the ultimate custodians of power. By highlighting Nwosu’s contribution alongside that of Chief M.K.O. Abiola and other martyrs of June 12, Tinubu subtly reinforced the narrative that democracy is neither an abstract concept nor a mere routine of elections. It is a hard-earned trust forged in the crucible of struggle, sacrifice, and national aspiration.

In this light, the 2025 Democracy Day was more than a ceremonial occasion. It was a redemptive moment. A time when a long-neglected chapter of national history was finally reopened and written with justice, honour, and gratitude. For Professor Humphrey Nwosu and all those who stood for truth when it was most dangerous to do so, Nigeria’s democracy now bears the imprint of their courage, publicly affirmed at last.

Paul Nwosu PhD wrote from Awka.

Oluremi Tinubu Commissions Mega Technical , Vocational College In Enugu

First Lady Inaugurates Mega Technical/Vocational College in Enugu, Explains Why Tinubu Supports Leaders Like Mbah – THISDAYLIVE

LarryBravo Nwaiwu

First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has explained President Bola Tinubu’s support for Governor Peter Mbah Administration in Enugu, saying her husband would always support leaders, who judiciously deploy public funds for the common good of the people.

Mrs. Tinubu made the revelation during the commissioning of the Technical, Vocational Education and Training College, GTC, Enugu, on the sidelines of her just-concluded two-day working visit to Enugu State.

It is recalled that Governor Mbah Administration inherited a highly dilapidated Government Technical College, GTC, Enugu, which it demolished about 11 months ago to erect a Technical, Vocational Education and Training (TVET) College comprising twenty-four ultra-modern skill training centres and massive hostels for 1,000 resident students.

The government equally built two Smart Green Schools in the quite expansive premises.

Speaking during the commissioning, Senator Tinubu, who noted the increased federal allocations accruing to the states under the Tinubu Administration, stressed the need for leaders to deploy the resources in the service of the people.

“I am really excited. Like some critics will say that Mr. President is really in support of the governor here. Now your allocation has tripled. The president will be happy to associate with the people, who are using the resources of this nation judiciously. And this is part of it. And we are excited.

“The slogan for Enugu state is ‘Tomorrow is Here’ and tomorrow is indeed here. This is just a glimpse of a better tomorrow that our children and even generations yet unborn will enjoy,” she stated.

In his remark, Governor Mbah said the project was the first of the eight Technical, Vocational Education and Training Colleges meant for each of the eight Federal Constituencies of the state to equip the youth with skills to shape the future.

He explained that his government decided to break away from the outdated system of memorisation to experiential learning, stressing that no nation could be greater than its human capital.

Mbah said that with the TVETs and other modern post-basic education schools being built, graduates of Green Smart Schools would sustain their upward trajectory in experiential and smart learning.

“So, today is a great day for us. It is a launch further into our vision to transform education in Enugu State. We are profoundly honoured and delighted that you were able to make out time to commission the TVET, Government Technical College,” he stated.

Giving further insight into the project, the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ndubueze Mbah, said TVETs were geared towards empowering the youth with skills and knowledge in response to emerging industry needs.

“The new GTC Enugu is, which include ICT and Digital Innovation Hub, Renewable Energy, Weldieng and Fabrication, Auto-Mechatronics, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Electrical Installation, Fashion Design and Garment Making, Hospitality Training, and others equipped with twenty-four ultra-modern skill training centres.

“It is supported by two massive modern hostels accommodating 1,000 resident students. The new GTC, Enugu, is a milestone realisation of an audacious vision, that enables a transition from the Enugu Smart Green Schools, into professional workforce and masterful skills development for the youth of Enugu State,” Prof. Mbah explained.

Recall that President Tinubu had during his official visit to Enugu on 4th January to inaugurate some iconic projects executed by the Governor Mbah Administration also said he was more interested in performance than political affiliations.

“He is doing a fantastic job. The election is over and we have to move the nation forward. You have demonstrated that irrevocable commitment towards human development. I don’t care which party you come from. You are my friend. You are doing well and very focused,” the president had asserted.

First Lady Flags Off Campaign Against HIV/AIDS, Other STDs In Enugu

First Lady Flags off Free to Shine Campaign Against HIV/AIDS, other STDs in Enugu - Freedom Square TV

…. Gov. Mbah, wife, pledge collaboration

LarryBravo Nwaiwu

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has flagged off the Free to Shine Triple Elimination Campaign, an initiative of the Organisation of African First Ladies for Development, OAFLAD, and global partners to eradicate HIV/AID, Syphilis and Hepatitis by 2030.

Flagging-off the campaign at the International Conference Centre, Enugu, on Tuesday, the founder of the Renewed Hope Foundation, Senator Tinubu said the initiative was an imperative, since Nigeria bore the highest burdens of HIV infection in sub Saharan African due to her large population.

“We launched the campaign in January 2025 and have flagged it off in five political zones of North Central, North East, North West, South South and South West. Today, we have flagged off the campaign in southeast to complete the Free to Shine campaign.

“Our aim is to reduce HIV infection among women, prevent mother and child transmission and ensure that every child born with it gets the necessary treatment,” Tinubu said

She thanked Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State and his Wife, Mrs. Nkechinyere Mbah and the people Enugu State for the warm reception accorded to her and her entourage. During her two-day working visit.

Throwing his weight behind the campaign, Governor Mbah, said his administration had taken health seriously because a healthy population is the foundation on which progress is built.

“Here in Enugu State, we have aligned our healthcare priorities with the vision of the ‘Free to Shine Campaign.’

“By September, we would have completed and fully equipped 260 Type 2 Primary Healthcare Centres in all wards — each with accommodation for health workers to ensure round-the-clock care.

“We have also strengthened our secondary and tertiary healthcare systems and broadened access to health insurance and emergency services, especially for the most vulnerable.

“These efforts are already yielding results — with a significant reduction in maternal, under-five and infant mortality.

“But we know the work is not done. No health system can thrive in isolation or assume it no longer needs support. This is why we embrace the goals of the ‘Free to Shine Campaign’ — goals that seek to eliminate stigma, expand access to HIV treatment, and, most importantly, end mother-to-child transmission of HIV,” he stated.

The First Lady of Enugu State, Mrs Mbah, commended Senator Tinubu and OAFLAD for providing leadership against the scourges of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.

“I commend the First Lady, Her Excellency Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for demonstrating leadership and commitment to the health and well-being of Nigerians.

“As 2023 data from the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) shows, Nigeria has one hundred and forty thousand (140,000) children aged 0 – 14 living with HIV, with twenty-two thousand (22,000) deaths each year. This is an enormous public health burden with vast social and economic implications. So, the ‘Free to Shine Campaign’ is indeed a creation of necessity,” Mrs. Mbah said.

She expressed total support for the initiative, noting that “collaboration is the driving force of change and development.”

“When we collaborate, problems that seem intractable are solved. So, I am confident that the goals of this campaign will be achieved in Enugu State, in Nigeria – and across Africa. What is required is whole-hearted dedication,” she concluded.

The event featured a general overview of the Free to Shine Campaign, by the Executive Secretary for OAFLAD, Dr. Nardos Berhanu, testimonials and experience sharing by persons living with HIV/AIDS, drama presentation by Members of the National Youth Service Corps, and goodwill messages by development partners, among others.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian First Lady was conferred with the chieftaincy title of Ugosinamba (Precious Jewel/Eagle from another kingdom) by the Enugu State Council of Traditional Rulers, citing her love for Enugu and service to the nation and humanity.

Pornography, Propaganda In Social Media Spaces Worry Anambra Government

Anambra State Government has decried the quantity of pornography and propaganda available in various social media spaces.

The state’s Commissioner for Information, Dr Law Mefor, while speaking at the closing ceremony of a two-day Media and Information Literacy (MIL) Workshop for youth and youth-led organisations in South East Nigeria, at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Auditorium, organised by Media and Information and Inter-cultural Dialogue (MILID) Foundation in collaboration with UNESCO and Anambra State Ministry of Information, among others, observed that the quantity of sexuality in social media skits is alarming, and nothing short of pornography.

He stated that pornography is redefining so much of the social media information being consumed by the people in various social media spaces thereby showcasing the kind of irresponsibility inherent in the people creating such contents.

He advised content creators, particularly youths to eschew the use of pornography in creating contents but to think deeper to generate contents through other societal issues.

“What MILID Foundation, UNESCO and Ministry of Information is trying to tell you about media and information literacy is that you owe the society some level of responsibility. It’s true that through such reckless contents, you can draw traffic to your social media handles to a point that they may start paying you. Yes, money will come from it but at what cost?

” Those of us in government in Anambra State are worried about irresponsibility while creating contents or putting out information out there. We are worried about not only such contents and the recklessness of such exhibition. We are worried about propaganda. Some people say propaganda is necessary in politics. I don’t think that a government that is doing well needs propaganda. Let facts speak for itself.

“We don’t believe in propaganda here. As the Manager-in- Chief of Information in Anambra State, what we try to do is put out the accurate data/information in every possible way, avoiding propaganda, misinformation, falsification or nuancing of information in a way that you make it look acceptable. And we have made this our reputation. If you have been hearing that Solution is here in Anambra State; those of you who are visiting, we invite you to do a project tour – the ministry will help you to look around to see that indeed, the Solution Governor, Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo has done so much in less than three years,” he said.

NLNG Advances Healthcare Agenda , Delivers Life-Saving Neonatal & ICU Facilities In Asaba

L-R: Dr Sphia Horsfall, GM, External Relations, NLNG, Engr Dagogo Bouwari, NLNG Manager, Nigerian Content; NLNG Chief Medical Officer, Dr Samuel Gara; rep of Minister of state for Health, Dr Jimoh Salaudeen, rep of Asagba Of Asaba, CMD of FMC Asaba, Dr Victor Osiatuma; NLNG Head of Community Liaison, Chief Ifeanyi Umeh and Chairman of Board of FMC, Asaba Dr Mary Idele-Alile as NLNG hands over multi-million Naira renovated and equipped Neo-Natal centre and emergency ward to FMC Asaba, recently.

In a bold push to support the transformation of healthcare delivery in Nigeria, NLNG, on Thursday, unveiled a new Neonatal Ward and a renovated Intensive Care Unit at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Asaba, Delta State, marking another milestone in its Hospital Support Programme (HSP).

The upgraded FMC Asaba facility now boasts of world-class treatment areas, including neonatal and ICU suites, recovery rooms, prep zones, automated doors, a dedicated nurses’ station, and a family lounge, all tailored to accelerate emergency response, improve outcomes, and enhance care for Nigeria’s most vulnerable patients – the neo-natals.

Speaking at the commissioning, NLNG’s Managing Director and CEO, Philip Mshelbila, represented by Sophia Horsfall, General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development stated that NLNG’s investment in the Federal Medical Centre, Asaba and other hospitals in the country accurately reflected NLNG’s intentions expressed in its vision of being “a globally competitive energy company improving lives sustainably.” Mshelbila emphasised that the HSP was part of NLNG’s broader nation-building agenda.

“We invest in people, not just infrastructure. Through education, health, and capacity-building, we are helping shape a sustainable future. The commissioning at FMC Asaba signals more than the completion of a project, it reflects a clear, steadfast vision: a healthcare system where Nigerian lives are preserved through precision, preparedness, and partnership.

“A single step into these wards in FMC, Asaba, reveals transformation with purpose. This is what it means to turn concern into action and statistics into lives saved. Nigeria contributes 20% of global maternal and child mortality. This must change, and we’re committed to that change,” he said.

Speaking during the ceremony, Minister of State for Health, Dr Iziaq Salako, commended NLNG for its contribution to health and urged other organisations to emulate the company.

The Minister, represented by the Ministry’s Director of Hospital Services, Dr Jimoh Salaudeen described the facility as another milestone in the quest for quality health services in line with the Federal Government’s renewed hope agenda.

In his remarks, Henry Obih, a member of NLNG’s Board of Directors, emphasised that the occasion reflected NLNG’s steadfast commitment to the well-being of the Nigerian people. He noted further that through the NLNG HSP, critical infrastructure has been provided, offering immense benefits to families, newborns, ill infants, and to healthcare workers dedicated to delivering quality service.

Receiving the facilities, the Chief Medical Director of FMC Asaba, Dr Victor Osiatuma thanked NLNG for selecting FMC Asaba as one of the benefitting institutions, through a transparent process devoid of lobbying.

The Hospital Support Programme (HSP) was NLNG’s strategic intervention in response to the urgent need for improved medical infrastructure during the COVID-19 crisis. Approved by the NLNG Board in July 2021, the initiative set out to strengthen Nigeria’s healthcare system, starting with 12 federal university teaching hospitals across all six geopolitical zones and the FCT.

Nine health institutions in Nigeria have already achieved transformative upgrades in obstetrics, neonatal ICUs, occupational therapy, and neuromodulation rehabilitation through HSP.

NLNG continues to lead in the private sector’s contribution to nation-building, investing not only in energy but in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, because progress must be holistic to be sustainable.
