We must capitalise on opportunities that do exist in strengthening traditional medicine in Africa” Dr. Julio Rakotonirina,

Education is a human right, according to the @_AfricanUnion charter," states Dr. Justice Alfred Mavezende. He highlights this as a roadmap for legislators to ensure their obligations are fulfilled in accordance to this right. He goes on to highlight barriers to education, which include unaffordability and lack of basic sanitation. Furthermore, he recommends that to address these barriers, there should be investment in textbooks, recruitment of quality teachers, and improvement of infrastructure.

The #StopEfccBrutality protest was very peaceful. We even had a get-together afterwards. We made our position very clear. The @officialEFCC is free to go about their duty, but we will not tolerate them trampling on the rights of innocent people in the process.
