PURSUE INCLUSIVITY, GOV FUBARA CHARGES HEALTH INSURANCE SCHEME MANAGERS
.Makes History, Launches Rivers CHIPP
Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has said that the State’s Contributory Health Insurance Scheme will offer households a measure of financial protection against healthcare costs and help resolve inequality in the provision of available services.
The Governor, therefore, charged managers of the scheme to be unbiased while administering the scheme so that the most vulnerable in the society are not deprived from accessing critically needed healthcare services.
Governor Fubara gave the charge when he formally launched the public sector Contributory Health Insurance Protection Programme (CHIPP), which is the State’s health insurance programme, shortly after inaugurating the Comprehensive Primary Health Centre in Ndoni Town in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area.
The Governor, who became the first to be enrolled on the scheme and followed by his Deputy, Prof Ngozi Odu, said the scheme must foster an inclusive and equitable healthcare access for the people of the State.
According to him, “With what I am seeing here, we didn’t make any mistake in ensuring that the Health Insurance Programme commenced in our State. It is to increase access to healthcare for the people.
“With this, most families that cannot afford expensive healthcare services outside their means, can leverage on this service that has been rolled out.
“But it is proper for me to also add that while we are doing this, we shouldn’t undermine the scheme. The services should be properly utilised and the funds released should be applied prudently to achieve the purpose,” he said.
On her part, the Acting Executive Secretary of the Rivers State  Contributory Health Insurance Protection Programme, Dr Vetty Agala, said the scheme will enhance chances of achieving universal access to healthcare services in the State.
Dr Agala explained that with the official flag-off done, her team will embark on a round of enrollment of persons unto the scheme in all 319 political wards in the 23 local government areas of the State.
“Today, we are here to flag-off the enrollment of the scheme. Your Excellency, we want to thank you for graciously permitting and approving that Rivers State Contributory Health Insurance Scheme be implemented.
“Rivers people can now, indeed, access healthcare without having to pay at the point of service. At all of our programmes, women, people living with disability, the aged and children under five years can walk into this centre or where they are registered, show their cards and be attended to free of charge,” she added.
Highpoints of the launch were the registration of the Governor and his Deputy, fingerprinting and capturing of both, and presentation of Insurance Identity Cards to the Number One and Number Two Citizens of the State.
It was learnt that shortly after the Governor’s enrollment, over 200 persons were also enrolled at the primary health centre in Ndoni on same day of launch of the programme.
It would be recalled that the Rivers State Contributory Health Protection Programme Bill was signed into law on June 21, 2021, but was never implemented until Governor Fubara reactivated the programme to enable residents and people of the State who want health insurance to participate in the scheme.

A Decade after Chibok, US assures Nigeria of continuous support to combat extremism

A Decade after Chibok, US assures Nigeria of continuous support to combat extremism

By Edoamaowo Udeme

As the world remembers Chibok tragedy which happened exactly 10 years ago, The United States has assures Nigeria of its continuous support to combat extremism

This was contained in a released statement from the US Embassy Nigeria today

In the statement it reads that The US remains committed to supporting Nigeria’s efforts to combat terrorism and protect its citizens.

” We continue to support the Nigerian government’s ongoing efforts to make Nigeria more secure, to hold perpetrators of attacks accountable, and to ensure the safety and well-being of all its citizens.”

“The partnership between the United States and Nigeria is built on a foundation of shared values and common goals. We will continue to work together to promote peace, security, and stability in the region, and to support initiatives that foster education, economic growth, and human rights”

“As we mark one decade since this terrible act, we reaffirm our support for the survivors, their families, and all those affected by terrorism. The United States stands with Nigeria in its fight against extremism and its commitment to creating a safer, more prosperous future for all its people”.
It can be recalled that on the night of 14–15 April 2014, 276 mostly Christian female students aged from 16 to 18 were kidnapped by the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram from the Government Girls Secondary School at the town of Chibok in Borno State, Nigeria. Prior to the raid, the school had been closed for four weeks due to deteriorating security conditions, but the girls were in attendance in order to take final exams in physics.
According to Wikipedia , 57 of the schoolgirls escaped immediately following the incident by jumping from the trucks on which they were being transported, and others have been rescued by the Nigerian Armed Forces on various occasions] Hopes have been raised that the 219 remaining girls might be released, however some girls are believed to be dead. Amina Ali, one of the missing girls, was found in May 2016. She claimed that the remaining girls were still there, but that six had died.[8] As of 14 April 2021, seven years after the initial kidnapping, over 100 of the girls remain missing.

Some have described their capture in appearances at international human rights conferences. Boko Haram has used the girls as negotiating pawns in prisoner exchanges, offering to release some girls in exchange for some of their captured commanders in jail.

The girls kidnapped in Chibok in 2014 are only a small percentage of the total number of people abducted by Boko Haram. Amnesty International estimated in 2015 that at least 2,000 women and girls had been abducted by the group since 2014, many of whom had been forced into sexual slavery.

Prune Nourry, in collaboration with 108 students of Obafemi Awolowo University and the family of the abducted girls, produced 108 clay-head sculptures of the missing girls.
