The Federal Government of Nigeria is eager to stop the migration of its people

The Nigerian Federal Government intends to stop the mass migration going on in the country. The Minister of State for Science, Technology, and Innovation, Henry Ikoh made the announcement.   


Nigeria in the past few years has developed a migration problem.

Nigeria's Federal Government announced on Thursday it is trying to find ways that to prevent the near-parasitic level of migrations.

The spokesperson for the Nigerian government also disclosed that the government has plans to procure employment opportunities for its people, seeing as that’s the number one reason people are leaving the country.

The Minister of State for Science, Technology, and Innovation, Henry Ikoh, made the announcement in Abuja while receiving the Secretary-General of the Digital Cooperation Organisation, Ms. Deemah Yahya, who paid him a courtesy visit in connection with the upcoming Digital Nigeria Day Conference.

He noted that the government is doing all it can to make sure to remedy the self-inflicted damage the economy has caused Nigerian human capital.

He elaborated on the government’s intention on the matter and mentioned the importance of synergy with the government’s plan.

“The synergy is what we require, capacity building is key and technology transfer is what Nigeria and Africa in particular need at the moment so that the world can be a global village. We need to collaborate in all areas to ensure harmony.” He said.

”If we collaborate and synergize in the area of human capital development, it would guarantee industrialization, when people are gainfully employed and moved out from poverty, then Africans and Nigerians would not be struggling to travel abroad because everything is here. We have all the raw materials; what we really require in terms of digitalization is for us to cross-fertilize ideas, train and retrain our people then things would be better.” He added.

The guest Ms. Deemah Yahya, also made some comments on the government’s new initiative. She stated,

"We are very proud that Nigeria is a founding member of the Digital Corporation Organisation, which is a multilateral organization that focuses on advancing the digital economy in member states. We represent 12 countries, from three continents, representing 600 million in population and $2 trillion in the GDP."

She added “We are very happy that Nigeria has been a founding member and we are here not only to reiterate our commitment to empowering digital economic transformation strategies of Nigeria but also to understand the ecosystem of Nigeria, being the players in terms of government, private sector, and civil society. It is also for us to understand how the DCO can help support the growth of Nigeria and hopefully be an enabler.”

If APC did not win, I knew I was going to be in trouble- Gov Amaechi

Governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaechi says he would have been in trouble and would have been hounded out of the country if APC hadn't won the presidential election. Amaechi said this during the public presentation of a book titled “Dynamics of Change: The Amaechi Years” which is the compilation of his achievements a governor. The book was presented in Lagos yesterday May 14th "I knew I was going to be in trouble. Anything that would cause that change not to take place, I was ready to make that sacrifice. The federal government sent out a signal that if they won nobody should let me out of Nigeria from any airport. One day Asiwaju got angry with me. He was very angry. I went to his house with Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and knelt down, saying ‘please let’s not disagree, let’s win first and then we can disagree. I lost my passport in Ghana and went to the High Commission. They gave me a certificate but the Ambassador was given a query for doing so. I later applied for a p...

Ebola Vaccine Could Be Ready in Africa Soon

The World Health Organization says a trial Ebola Fever Immunogen has been observed to be amazingly defensive against the ferocious infection in a major trial in Guinea Ebola "The immunization is the first to keep contamination from a standout amongst the most deadly known pathogens, and the discoveries add weight to early trial comes about distributed a year ago," WHO said in a public statement. The UN health agency noticed the aftereffects of the most recent trial distributed on Friday in the restorative diary The Lancet. As indicated by WHO , the vaccine, 'rVSV-ZEBOV' , was considered in a trial involving 11,841 individuals in Guinea during 2015.

Why are we so awful at creating the correct flu vaccines?

Everybody loves to be the stickler who calls attention to how incapable the flu immunization is, or how poor our reputation is on anticipating the correct match. The shot needs to secure against three or four particular infections, each with their own remarkable hereditary profile, and frequently the yearly expectation is off. Prompt the naysayers. And they’re not wrong. Why is it so difficult to know what sort of vaccine to make? What's more, how might we improve? The flu is a sneaky little devil Influenza viruses are tricky. Unlike more stable diseases, the flu is constantly morphing into ever-so-slightly different forms to evade our annual vaccine campaigns. This is at the core of our need for an annual shot—there’s always a new genetic variant. It’s somewhat akin to antibiotic resistance. Viruses tend to have more genetic mutations because their replication method is prone to errors. To more complex organisms, constant mutations would be problematic (it only takes a few key ...
