.@NigeriaGov is launching a National Emergency Medical Service and Ambulance System (NEMSAS), with a pilot to start in the FCT. (Been in the works for a bit)

In the simplest possible terms, think of it as a ‘public Uber service but for ambulances.’

See next tweet for details.
NEMSAS: “It provides a prehospital care in the form of ambulance services, to transport patients to hospitals and emergency medical treatment services for up to 48 hours in the hospitals at no immediate cost to the patient at the point of care.”
I don’t have details as to exactly how it will work, but expect more info from @Fmohnigeria.
Some more INFORMATION on NEMSAS here (the FCT pilot). ImageImageImageImage

“To IPOB/ESN, the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), as well as the disparate armed groups in the forests, it is time to interrogate both the purpose and means of your campaign.” — @CCSoludo
“To the politicians playing politics with the insecurity, you are riding a tiger. The current trajectory is a road to desolation. Let us get around the table and talk. Let the elite in the closet come out, and let’s debate our future and forge a consensus.” — @CCSoludo
“The conspiracy of silence by the elite and some community leaders must end. If you see something, say or do something! Securing Igboland and Nigeria must be our collective responsibility.” — @CCSoludo

This PhD - can it be for real?

This thing where you constantly highlight Ghana news and deliberately unlook Nigeria news, you CANNOT be educated and be doing it.

Toyota went to Ghana yes, but several others are here in Nigeria, incl Hyundai, Honda, GAC, Geely, Kia, Peugeot etc Image
This year, already, Peugeot is back assembling cars in Nigeria, in a JV with Dangote Group. Brand new plant, hasn’t even been formally commissioned yet. Image
Geely Assembly plant in Nigeria, opened 2020.

Before you open an ignorant mouth to try and diss the Geely brand, remember they own sizable stakes in Daimler (owners of Mercedes Benz) and Volvo, and in 2020 announced a new JV with Mercedes-Benz AG to focus on electric vehicles.

.@NigeriaGov has so far done a fantastic job on the #Ukraine evacuation. We’ve come a long way from the initial reports suggesting abandonment of Nigerians — even at a time when serious work was going on behind the scenes to sort out diplomatic + logistical pre-evac issues.
Naturally, the media enthusiasm about reporting “abandonment” far exceeds any enthusiasm for reporting UPDATES that suggest things are being done right.

But what matters most is that all Nigerians who want to return home are able to do so promptly & safely. And that’s ongoing.
Kudos to @NigeriaMFA @FMHDSD @nidcom_gov @NGRPresident and all other MDAs involved in the evacuation effort. And of course all the concerned Nigerian Missions in and around #Ukraine.

One can safely and boldly assert that no elected Nigerian President has signed into Law as many landmark reform parliamentary Bills as President Muhammadu Buhari has so far done.

A quick list of key ones (by no means is this a list of ALL):
The Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), 2021, which finally became an Act after almost two decades of false starts. Broken — one of the Greatest Jinxes Ever Liveth!
The Deep Offshore and Inland Basin Production Sharing Contracts Act, 1993 (Amendment) Act, 2019, coming almost three decades after the original legislation.
