[00:09:38] this present dispensation the nation. assembly

[00:12:15] president was commander the cadun states government's free
[00:12:19] compressed natural gas mass transit scheme, describing it as an
[00:12:23] example of people centered. governance that can help reduce transportation
[00:12:27] cost and ease the economic pressure on households.
[00:12:31] the scheme, which operates with a fleet of 100 CNG
[00:12:35] powered buses recorded about 3.2 million passenger trips
[00:12:38] and saved commuters more than 3.5 billion
[00:12:42] na in its first in the first months
[00:12:46] of 2025. a post on his official ex accounts
[00:12:49] president made special mention of Kadun's intervention saying
[00:12:53] it demonstrates how to use of cheaper domestic energy can provide
[00:12:57] tangible relief to citizens, the president's commendation comes as the
[00:13:01] federal government and the 36 states step up efforts to
[00:13:05] expand the national affordable CNG transit program and
[00:13:09] reduce transportation cost, responding to the president's
[00:13:12] commendation, kaduna states governor obasani expressed appreciation for the
[00:13:16] recognition saying his administration would continue to prioritize
[00:13:20] policies that protect vulnerable households, according to him,
[00:13:23] quote, remains the only subnational government providing
[00:13:27] free CNG mass transit rights to its citizens with about
[00:13:31] 3.2 million passenger trips and over 3.5 billionaire
[00:13:35] saved by commuters in the first year alone. the scheme has
[00:13:38] become one of our most impactful interventions in cuisioning
[00:13:42] the effects of fuel subsidy. end of quote. governor Sani says
[00:13:46] Kaduna government's intervention reflects its broader
[00:13:49] commitment to people centered governance with public resources
[00:13:53] targeted at areas that directly affects the daily lives of
[00:13:56] citizens.
[00:14:02] now for many women living with visical vagina
[00:14:06] fistula, the agony goes beyond the physical pain as
[00:14:10] constant urine leakage often comes with
[00:14:13] stigmatization, rejection and loss of
[00:14:16] livelihoods. this report examines the plight of VVF survivors
[00:14:20] in Kaduna and how the state's government is seeking to restore their
[00:14:24] dignity, and hope through medical treatment, skills training
[00:14:28] and economic empowerment. For
[00:14:32] years, life for most these women is defined by
[00:14:35] pain, embarrassment and rejection, living with
[00:14:39] constant urine leakage, many them have been forced to withdraw
[00:14:43] from their communities, losing their livelihoods and in some
[00:14:47] cases their families. Their condition is caused by a medical
[00:14:51] condition called the psychovaginal fistular VVF.
[00:14:56] While the situation can render its victim hopeless, the Kaduna
[00:15:00] State Government is given Safras a new reason to be
[00:15:03] hopeful through its medical and empowerment
[00:15:06] interventions. I understand the profound physical,
[00:15:09] emotional and social challenges that women living with
[00:15:13] oscetric fisular may experience. No woman should
[00:15:17] suffer in silence or feel abandoned because of a medical
[00:15:21] condition that can be prevented and treated. Either. make a
[00:15:25] plee to each and every one of us seated here to
[00:15:29] continue to intensify awareness, promote access to
[00:15:33] quality maternal healthcare, encourage skilled attendance
[00:15:37] during pregnancy and birth and ensure that women who require
[00:15:40] treatment are able to access it without fear, stigma
[00:15:44] or discrimination. apart from the
[00:15:48] medical intervention, the state government is providing
[00:15:52] vocational training for survivors in areas such as
[00:15:55] tailoring, airdressing, catering and soap
[00:15:58] making. we want to say thank for
[00:16:02] collaboration through the state ministry of health and state ministry of
[00:16:06] women affairs.
[00:16:10] this demonstrates government leadership commitment to
[00:16:14] you know health intervention towards solving health
[00:16:18] challenges in Nigeria. For the state government, the training is
[00:16:22] beyond skills acquisition, it's also about restoring
[00:16:26] confidence, hope and personal
[00:16:28] dignity.
[00:16:32] opportunity and an important medical
[00:16:35] intervention, but recognize that the true
[00:16:39] recovery goes beyond the surgery, for this
[00:16:43] reason we have completed the medical
[00:16:46] treatment with skills, acquisition and
[00:16:49] economic empowerment. for some these
[00:16:52] beneficiaries, the journey from suffering to recovery has not been
[00:16:56] an easy one. for these
[00:17:00] VVF survivors, many of whom have spent years living
[00:17:04] with pain, stigma and shame, the internet mentioned by the
[00:17:08] kaduna state government is indeed a dream come
[00:17:11] true, you're watching news track on
[00:17:15] channel's television, right after this break on the foreign
[00:17:18] scene Ukraine fires hundreds of drones on Moscow, details when we come
[00:17:22] back, stay with
[00:17:22] us.
[00:17:34] modern lifestyle requires lot of energy back to... by intense
[00:17:38] production processes which impact the environment in more ways
[00:17:42] than one. The world has realized that you cannot deal with
[00:17:45] climate change without looking at loss of biodiversity.
[00:17:49] On echo Africa, nature speaks and the descerning mind becomes
[00:17:53] champion of sustainable living. One thing we want to do is to
[00:17:57] change public behavior around recycling. Watch Eco
[00:18:00] Africa and Channels Television and find out what nature is
[00:18:04] saying.
[00:18:20] Welcome back, the Nigerian Auto break Pied manufacturing facility in
[00:18:24] Lagos has reportedly shot down with the national automative design and
[00:18:28] development council blaming the influx of cheaper substandard
[00:18:31] imported alternatives for the setback, the director general the
[00:18:35] NADDC, Joseph. raised the
[00:18:39] concern while leading the council's governing board a tour of
[00:18:42] automative assembly and manufacturing plants in lagos to assess their
[00:18:46] operational capacities and identify their
[00:18:49] challenges. the DG says the closure highlights a major
[00:18:53] challenge facing local manufacturers, the difficulty of competing
[00:18:57] on price with imported products as well the quality of locally made
[00:19:01] components.
[00:19:06] in the next factory. is where we normally
[00:19:09] manufacture,
[00:19:11] mechano usually manufacture break part and they have one the best
[00:19:15] brake part in the country, while other bak imported
[00:19:18] we we do like 3,400, this can do like 10,000,
[00:19:22] but unfortunately that factory have to close down
[00:19:26] now because the the cause
[00:19:30] the imported one are little bit cheaper, not even a little bit
[00:19:33] cheaper uh, but they have lower standard, lower quality.
[00:19:37] than what you are having here, so when people are saying Nigerian made parts are
[00:19:41] more expensive, is more expensive for for
[00:19:45] reason, and one the reasons is because they are better
[00:19:49] quality than what we get, so we need to engage them to
[00:19:53] know what they are passing through, and again you know we are working
[00:19:56] on uh uh automotive industry
[00:20:00] industry uh bill and that bill
[00:20:03] we need to take it to cognisers these challenges.
[00:20:07] so that we talk with them, we interact with them, we see life what
[00:20:11] they are passing through, and that's why we have we have gone on
[00:20:14] this,
[00:20:19] meanwile, industry operators are calling for better tariff
[00:20:23] incentives, arguing that current policies put locally
[00:20:27] assembled vehicles a disadvantage compared with fully built
[00:20:31] imported
[00:20:31] cars,
[00:20:36] just like every normal assembly. every assembly plant in Nigeria as we worked by, I'm sure you
[00:20:40] have seen our testers, we have all the testers they need as the the speed
[00:20:43] testers, the real tester, the light testers, we balancing all the testers we
[00:20:47] have here on ground and I must say we... we we we've um enjoyed a lot of
[00:20:51] patronage from commercial sector and government sector and these vehicles are doing very fine. the major
[00:20:55] challenge is the policy and the tariff. we get better
[00:20:58] incentive whereby where we bring the vehicles in we should have better tarief
[00:21:02] compared to someone that is bringing it fully built in and this is what we've been
[00:21:06] preaching for and this is what we've been advocating for
[00:21:09] and uh we are we are we are
[00:21:13] we are hopeful that uh before the end of this
[00:21:16] government this this will be pass into law.
[00:21:21] The Center for the promotion of private enterprise, CPPE is
[00:21:25] raising concerns over the growing presence of foreign nationals,
[00:21:28] particularly Chinese traders in Niger's retail sector. The group says
[00:21:32] the trend could threaten local businesses, jobs in fair
[00:21:36] competition with wholesale and retail trade accounting for
[00:21:39] about 27.5% of Niger's workforce.
[00:21:43] CPPE is calling for review of business
[00:21:46] permits, expatriates quotas and immigration approvals.
[00:21:50] for foreign retailers, it says Nigeria should continue to work on foreign
[00:21:54] investment but focus more on productive sectors such as
[00:21:58] manufacturing, technology and infrastructure while protecting
[00:22:01] domestic businesses and
[00:22:03] jobs.
[00:22:08] And on the foreign scene, there are reports Ukraine has fired its largest
[00:22:12] drone attack on the Russian region of Moscow, hitting the city's
[00:22:16] main oil refinery and residential building. President
[00:22:20] Vladimir Zelensky confirmed Kieve had hit a key
[00:22:23] Russian oil facility and logistic site in the region with drones
[00:22:27] and missiles representing billions of dollars that sustained the war
[00:22:31] machine. Meanwhile, Ukrainian authority say nine people, including three
[00:22:34] children, had been killed in Russian attacks in the Kiv and Sumi
[00:22:38] regions over the weekend. Russia and Ukraine have recently intensified
[00:22:42] their strikes targeting energy generating and transport facilities
[00:22:46] as well as major logistic hops.
