Politics / Ebola: Tanzanian Nurse In Self- Quarantine After Serving In Liberia by Adegbayii(m): 2:58pm On Jul 10, 2015 |
A Tanzanian nurse
who has just
returned home after
taking part in the
post-Ebola Virus
Disease recovery
programme in the
affected West
African countries has
placed herself under
a 21-day quarantine.
Ms. Loveness Isojick,
28, staff of Korogwe
District Hospital in
the eastern coastal
region of Tanga, has
been staying in a
hotel room since her
arrival from Monrovia,
Liberia, on
Wednesday.
Isojick feared that
joining her family and
shaking hands with
relatives and friends
could put many
Tanzanians at risk of
infection with the
EVD, in case she
carried the virus, local
media have reported.
“One person can
infect six others. I
might be putting my
family and the entire
nation at risk if I
ignore this
precaution,” said
Isojick.
She had previously
worked in Sierra
Leone before going to
Liberia for the post-
Ebola programmes.
“I know I haven’t
handled patients
directly this time but
being quarantined for
at least 21 days is a
standard precaution
for anyone who has
been working in Ebola
camps in West
Africa.
“The organisation
that sponsored my
programme in Liberia
has asked me to
monitor my
temperature and
report to them in
case the Ministry of
Health does not have
the necessary
measures in place,”
she said.
According to the
nurse, her sponsors
for the trip to the
Ebola-affected
countries promised
to evacuate her
immediately from
Tanzania in case she
developed Ebola-like
symptoms.
On arrival at
Kilimanjaro
International Airport,
in northern Tanzania,
Isojick filled in a
special medical form,
which was reportedly
sent to the Ministry
of Health and Social
Welfare in Dar es
Salaam for further
action.
“I guess the airport
authorities must
have informed the
government
immediately. I’ve also
been asked to notify
the district medical
officer in Korogwe,”
she said.
But the ministry’s
spokesperson,
Nsachris Mwamwaja,
said up until
Thursday, the
ministry had no
information about
Isojick and her self-
quarantine.
“We don’t have any
report about the
nurse,” he said.
Five Tanzanian
physicians who were
sent on the same
mission to Liberia
under the auspices of
the African Union
returned home about
two months ago.
Before the EVD
resurfaced last week
in Liberia, Guinea and
Sierra Leone, the UN
Development
Programme said the
social and economic
impact of Ebola
would be felt long
after the outbreak
ended. |

into in resolving
the crisis.
While Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, the
APC spokesman,
said he didn’t
know any date

Politics / Cameroun Troops Repel Boko Haram Attack, Kill Three Militants by Adegbayii(m): 2:01pm On Jul 10, 2015 |
Cameroon’s army has repulsed an attack by Boko Haram and killed three of the Islamist militants in heavy fighting in the far north region of the country, a Cameroon government spokesman has said. The attack represented a change of tactics by the militants following a series of battlefield defeats this year. The militants have lost territory to a regional force that comprises Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon, spokesman Issa Tchiroma said on Thursday. “Early Tuesday morning around 3:40am (local time), an enemy column in four-wheel drive vehicles opened fire on positions held by our defence forces. “There followed violent combat until dawn. Faced with the repost of our soldiers, the aggressors beat a retreat leaving behind three dead, a quantity of weapons and a lot of blood,” he said of the attack in Bodo town. He said no government soldiers were hurt. “The militants are trying to make their voice heard and prove that they continue to exist,” he said. Boko Haram rarely comments directly on military action and there was no independent confirmation of the battle. Two military sources close to the fighting who declined to be identified said 18 militants were killed in the fighting. The regional operation has reduced attacks in recent months but bombings in Nigeria suggest Boko Haram may be shifting its focus further south and west, towards the capital, Abuja. Boko Haram has been trying to establish a state adhering to strict Sharia law through an insurgency that began in 2009. It controlled an area larger than Belgium at the end of 2014 before the regional offensive began. Source: punchng.com |

Politics / We’ll Shun Anti- Industrial Development Policies – Buhari by Adegbayii(m): 1:31pm On Jul 10, 2015 |
President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday said his administration would shun all anti- development policies in order to create a more conducive atmosphere for entrepreneurs, while also lamenting that Nigeria was at the lowest ebb as far as industrial development was concerned. According to a statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, Buhari spoke at a meeting he had with the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, Abdulkadir Musa, and senior officials of agencies under the ministry. Buhari was quoted as saying that employment generation was one of his key campaign promises and that he would keep to the promise. The President was quoted as saying, “With high interest rates and entrepreneurs needing trillions of naira to buy machinery, we are virtually back at ground zero as far as industrial development is concerned. “So, we will shun all anti-development policies and make the climate more suitable for entrepreneurs. We will create the environment for them to thrive. Generating employment was one of our key campaign promises and we will keep that promise. “We will no longer allow our markets to be flooded with things that we can produce ourselves. We must believe in our system. Whenever you need my intervention, please come to me.” He said his administration would implement essential reforms to protect indigenous manufacturers from unfair competition from abroad. He said with its focus on job creation, his government was ready to do whatever it considered necessary to boost domestic manufacturing and industrialisation. The President said that his administration would fully support the effective implementation of the plan evolved by the ministry to boost local manufacturing through legal, regulatory and structural reforms; lower interest rates, special intervention funds, protection of local manufacturers and significant improvements in national infrastructure. Musa and his team reportedly told the President that the objective of the ministry’s Industrial Revolution Plan was to create more jobs, diversify exports and broaden the country’s tax base. They said that the plan’s critical success factors included dialogue and consultation with industry stakeholders, essential reforms and greater collaboration among relevant agencies. .
