FG TAKES SPECIALIST CARE TO SOUTHERN KADUNA AS KAFANCHAN HOSPITAL BECOMES FEDERAL MEDICAL CENTRE
Abuja, Nigeria | 15 October 2026

The Federal Government is expanding access to tertiary healthcare in Southern Kaduna with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and the Kaduna State Government @GovKaduna ,for the handover of Sir Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa Memorial Hospital, Kafanchan, for conversion into Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Kafanchan.

Speaking at the signing ceremony today in Abuja, the Honourable Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, @SalakoIziaq , said tertiary healthcare must not remain a privilege of capital cities and metropolitan centres. Guided by the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative (NHSRII), he said, the Federal Government is working towards a health system that brings functional, quality healthcare facilities within the reach of Nigerians, regardless of where they live. He noted that in the last 42 months, the Federal Government had established 16 additional federal tertiary health institutions across the six geopolitical zones.

Dr Salako said the Ministry would work with the Kaduna State Government to upgrade the hospital’s physical infrastructure and diagnostic capacity, deploy specialist personnel and advanced equipment, and establish a pathway for the absorption of interested existing health workers into the Federal Government’s workforce. He added that the facility would be developed into a regional hub for medical training, research and specialised clinical services. He also paid tribute to the late Sir Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa, former Governor of Kaduna State, describing the development of the hospital into a centre of healing as a fitting tribute to his legacy.

Kaduna State Governor, Senator @ubasanius ,commended the Federal Government, through the Ministry, for approving a second federal tertiary health institution in the state, noting that it would expand access to specialised care for Kaduna’s growing population of 12 million. He described the agreement as a demonstration of shared responsibility between the two tiers of government in addressing barriers to quality healthcare. The Governor reaffirmed the state’s commitment to a seamless handover and disclosed that the state government would continue paying the hospital’s staff salaries until they are successfully absorbed into the Federal Government’s payroll.

Earlier, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Daju Kachollom S. mni, said the facility would extend access to specialist services, medical training and research to residents of Jema’a Local Government Area, neighbouring local government areas and communities in adjoining states. She noted that the initiative advances Priority Six of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Eight Presidential Priorities under the Renewed Hope Agenda and aligns with the NHSRII.
She emphasised that bringing specialist care closer to communities would reduce the cost and physical strain of travelling long distances for treatment.

The Permanent Secretary said the measure of the agreement would ultimately be the quality of care delivered, reflecting the Ministry’s mandate to save lives, reduce both physical and financial pain, and produce health for all Nigerians.

The Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare reaffirmed its commitment to working with the Kaduna State Government to implement the agreed milestones, strengthen the facility’s capacity and expand access to quality specialist healthcare for the people of Southern Kaduna and beyond.

Two truck drivers were seen being assaulted at Karma Agric Feeds and Foods Limited, located at Kilometre 12, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ibadan. The police have arrested 3 suspects: 2 Nigerians and an Indian national.

Another sad case of workplace harassment and inhumane treatment

PRESS RELEASE

OYO POLICE ARREST THREE SUSPECTS OVER VIRAL VIDEO OF ASSAULT ON TRUCK DRIVERS AT KARMA AGRIC

The Oyo State Police Command has arrested three suspects in connection with a viral video showing the alleged assault of two truck drivers at Karma Agric Feeds and Foods Limited, located at Kilometer 12, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ibadan. The suspects comprise two security operatives attached to the company and an Indian national.

The Command’s attention was drawn to the video on Tuesday, 13th October 2026, at about 0830 hours, prompting the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command, CP Abimbola Ayodeji Olugbenga, psc, mnips, to direct detectives to identify and apprehend all persons involved for investigation.

Preliminary findings indicate that the confrontation stemmed from a disagreement over the parking of a truck that had delivered goods to the company on Saturday. According to the truck owner, Akinpelu Sarafa, male, aged 47, the driver objected to a designated parking spot over concerns that it could damage the truck’s tyres. However, he was reportedly compelled to park there, and one of the tyres subsequently burst.

The disagreement reportedly intensified when the driver requested a replacement tyre, but the company declined. In response, the driver allegedly used his truck to block the company’s entrance, triggering a physical confrontation involving the drivers, security operatives and an Indian national.

The two victims have been identified as Ridwan Olajide, male, aged 34, and Taiwo Yinusa, male, aged 37. Both were admitted to a hospital in the Academy area of Ibadan for medical attention. As part of efforts to establish the facts, the Investigating Police Officer visited them at the hospital and obtained their statements.

Following the police intervention, three suspects were arrested: Olowu Oluwadamilare and Sodeke Olamide, both male security operatives attached to the company, and Harjit Singh, an Indian national, male, aged 46, associated with the company. Investigations are ongoing to establish their respective roles in the incident and determine the culpability of all parties involved.

The case has been transferred to the Special Enquiry Bureau (SEB), Eleyele, Ibadan, for further investigation and necessary action in accordance with the law.

The Oyo State Police Command reiterates its commitment to protecting lives and property and ensuring that the law applies equally to all individuals and organisations. Members of the public are urged to remain calm and allow the investigation to proceed, as anyone found culpable will be dealt with in accordance with the law.

🇰🇷 South Korea has the world’s best-paid paternity leave.

A new Moorepay study ranks South Korea #1 for statutory paid paternity leave. Fathers can receive more than KRW 36 million ($42,800), the highest value globally.

It also offers the longest paid parental leave for dads (82 weeks) and the most equivalent full-pay weeks (43.4).

Suspected of fleecing the Church of over N2bn Naira in shady land deals, the suspended Archbishop of the Anglican Province of the Niger, Alexander Ibezim, seems unwilling to allow an independent investigation into the allegations.

He reportedly procured court orders against @officialEFCC & has now hired very expensive #SANs led by one in Port Harcourt to procure court orders to stop the church hierarchy from investigating the allegations or suspending him.

Reasonable people are entitled to ask: Where is he getting the money from?!

Eight years. Continuous. Historic.

Today, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji takes the oath that no Ekiti governor before him could take. He is the first since the state was created in 1996 to break the cycle and stay for an unbroken eight year tenure.

This new chapter is marked by shared progress that reaches every home. A new era of continuity begins.

This week, I question the selective moral outrage of people who have cancelled Anthony Kila for falsifying his academic credentials but gladly socialize and do lucrative work projects with politicians who have committed worse crimes.

@skin_dudu @Omojuwa Thats one of the reasons why the case will be interesting. Can an employee transfer a right in this circumstance?
I think a good strategy may be for JJ and the employee to approach the NICN together.
I'm glad JJ is working with the employee on this, and I pray they get justice

[JJ. Omojuwa @Omojuwa]

I love this. I wanted the process to be completed before sharing an update but now that you asked...LOL.

Update:

1. I met the chef yesterday in Abuja, with my lawyers present. Noon meeting. She kept to time. I liked that. She shared a number of documents, including her employment and resignation letter.

2. The lawyers are preparing an agreement for the chef and me to sign. It transfers to me the right to recover the money. The lawyers made clear that it is not a debt matter. It is an employee rights matter.

3. The document comes through today. I sign. The chef signs. The N700,000 goes to her immediately after.

3. Then the company gets an email. Seven days to pay my money or produce a payment plan. They will also pay refund my legal fees.

PS: I learned something sitting with the lawyers yesterday. Employees are well favoured at our National Industrial Court, and the process moves faster than most litigation in this country. That was the second sweetest thing I heard all day.

You have been updated.

[Aspiring Billionaire SAN⚖️ @UsmanAbidemiEsq]

Sorry about your experience, Sir.

I understand that this is a divorce matter and you may not be interested in contesting whether or not this cost is actually sufficient for the appellate court. That being said, your experience made me remember the case of Isiyaku v. U.B.A. Plc(2026) 6 NWLR (Pt. 2039).

In this case, Alhaji Isiyaku, the Appellant, instituted an action against UBA for the unlawful removal of the sum of 350K from his account. He reported to the bank, but nothing was done about it. He was probably taken advantage of by virtue of the fact that he is illiterate.

The funny thing is that, as at the time he received the debit alert, his ATM card was with him. So, how did the money disappear miraculously? He sued UBA, claimed 5M in damages, and sought an order of the court for a refund of his 350K. After the trial, he won at the trial court, and the court granted all his reliefs. The Respondent appealed to the Court of Appeal, which partly affirmed the decision of the trial court but reduced the damages from 5M to 200K. As how? 😂😂😂

The Appellant (Alhaji Isiyaku), through his counsel, thereafter appealed to the Supreme Court and won. The Supreme Court set aside the decision of the Court of Appeal and affirmed the judgment of the trial court awarding ₦5 million as compensation to the Appellant. The court held that 200K was grossly inadequate and arbitrary.

So, sometimes, if a court awards costs that counsel feels may not be sufficient, counsel may appeal if it is worth it.

Thank you.
