[00:00:50] Hello and thanks for staying with us here on channels television where we've been bringing you developing

[00:01:01] A federal high court in Abuja has heard that international terrorist
[00:01:04] organization Al-Qaeda supported members
[00:01:07] of the prescribed terrorist group Ansaru to stage the May the 15th
[00:01:11] attacks on schools in Oriore local government in Oyo
[00:01:14] State. The attack the court also heard was to force the federal
[00:01:18] government to release their leaders who were arrested and been
[00:01:22] prosecuted by the DSS, the Department of State Services. A
[00:01:26] prosecution witness identified as Triple B also told the court.
[00:01:30] that upon the kidnap of students and teachers during the
[00:01:33] attacks, the terrorists submitted a list containing 30 names
[00:01:37] of their leaders and members to the federal
[00:01:40] government who they demanded must be released else they would kill the
[00:01:44] victims. the witness, a DSS operative testified today
[00:01:48] of as the second prosecution witness in the ongoing trial of five
[00:01:51] men said
[00:01:52] of to be members of Ansaru and accused of complicity in the urire
[00:01:56] attacks. according to the prosecution, the defendants of from a Kenya
[00:02:00] local government area, Kugi State, Daura local government area, Katsina
[00:02:04] State, and Sulejar
[00:02:05] of local government of Niger State, led in evidence by the director of public
[00:02:09] prosecution
[00:02:10] of the federation, senior advocate of
[00:02:13] Nigeria, Triple B said the operation affected by security agents
[00:02:17] leading to the kidnapped victims rescue was informed by the federal government's
[00:02:21] refusal to negotiate with the terrorists and play by their
[00:02:25] demands. The witness said he knew the five defendants in the cause of
[00:02:29] his official duty. adding that he particularly knew the first defendant
[00:02:32] mhammad in Mayduguri as one
[00:02:34] of the founding fathers of Boko Haram who once served as the group's head of
[00:02:38] security and
[00:02:40] intelligence.
[00:02:46] And to the courts where justice Mohammed
[00:02:48] of Umar
[00:02:48] of the Federal High Court still in Abuja has struck out the eight
[00:02:52] counter criminal charge filed by the federal government against the
[00:02:56] alleged fake director
[00:02:57] of general
[00:02:57] of the presidential foreign intervention promotion.
[00:03:02] the judge struck out the case following an application by the prosecution led
[00:03:06] of by the senior advocate of Nigeria Mr. who said the attorney general
[00:03:10] of the federation and minister of justice had reviewed the case file and
[00:03:14] identified loop holes in the charge. Mr.bu who is also the
[00:03:18] director of public prosecutions
[00:03:19] of the federation explained that the allegedly forged documents involved
[00:03:23] in Mr. DME's operations fall within the jurisdiction
[00:03:26] of the high court
[00:03:27] of the federal capital territory rather than federal high court,
[00:03:31] he told the court that the fresh charge had been filed at the FCT High Court
[00:03:35] and that Mr. Adiami would be arrained there a fresh. the prosecution
[00:03:39] consequently asked the judge to strike out the existing charge in
[00:03:43] accordance with the
[00:03:46] of of
[00:03:47] of law. the head to understate now, the traditional ruler of
[00:03:51] Iguokoda, the headquarters of Elijah local government area, his royal majesty
[00:03:55] obaf has commiserated with the federal government, the Nigeria
[00:03:59] Air Force, and the families
[00:04:00] of the victims
[00:04:01] of the October 5th air crash. the fatal incident led to the
[00:04:05] death of all on board, including 20 passengers and five
[00:04:08] crew members. the monarch who was speaking with channel's television in his
[00:04:12] palace expressed sadness over the loss of
[00:04:15] of lives praying for the repose
[00:04:18] of of the souls of the victims. he laments that the incident has resulted in the pollution
[00:04:20] of the river which the community depends on for drinking and other
[00:04:26] of of purposes. a sincere.
[00:04:30] congelasses to the wife
[00:04:32] of the pilot in particular, your husband saved
[00:04:36] us here, sacrifice his life and the lives of
[00:04:40] those
[00:04:40] of that were with him in the plane, it's going to
[00:04:44] be painful to you to your family and
[00:04:48] friends, but to us, he is hero
[00:04:52] within us and we will celebrate him, the only lock we
[00:04:56] have is that the plane did not crash within the community, which you...
[00:05:00] taking lives within hair, but even when it
[00:05:03] of has of not taken lives of our people
[00:05:05] of directly, it's going to take lives eventually, because our people cannot drink from this
[00:05:09] water now, and we do not have alternative.
[00:05:13] that's the water we fetch to cook, that's the water we
[00:05:16] drink from, that's the water we use for our day-to-day
[00:05:20] lives, and if today
[00:05:22] it is that polluted, the stench is nothing
[00:05:26] else, but from dead
[00:05:29] bodies that are infested the waters as it
[00:05:33] were, and the implication
[00:05:37] is that we have to st for
[00:05:41] some time, without fish, without water to
[00:05:44] drink, it is
[00:05:45] unfortunate.
[00:05:50] the inaadran military says its air component under operation hadingkai
[00:05:54] has neutralized more than 40 Islamic state, west africa province, ice
[00:05:57] swap terrorists in borno state. according to the joint task force, the
[00:06:01] precision air strike targeted a terrorist enclave at Badu Village
[00:06:05] south of Gudumbali in Guzamala local government area on October the

[00:06:12] killed while two vehicles and about 20 motorcycles used for logistics and
[00:06:16] combat operations were destroyed. the operation followed
[00:06:20] intelligence reports that the terrorists were preparing coordinated
[00:06:23] attacks on military positions within sector three.
[00:06:27] according to the military, the successful operation demonstrates the sustained
[00:06:31] operational momentum of troops under operation hadingkai
[00:06:34] integrading terrorist capabilities and strengthening security
[00:06:38] across Nigeria's northeast.
[00:06:45] to talk is security, the recent establishment of an army battalion in
[00:06:48] omaron by President Bola Tinubu has been described as a good
[00:06:52] decision that has reduced insecurity in the kara south
[00:06:55] senatorial district. this is the view of some stakeholders
[00:06:59] at the political gathering the all progresses congress in
[00:07:03] Owiisi in his local government area the state. bot the state
[00:07:07] commissioner for local government and chieftency affairs and the chairman obviously in local
[00:07:10] government area say the attack and kidnapping by bandits have
[00:07:14] drastically reduced in the area and they commended the collaborative efforts
[00:07:18] the president and the state governor in that
[00:07:20] record
[00:07:24] we we thank his excellency
[00:07:26] the president of
[00:07:29] Nigeria
[00:07:32] Presidentibu and by stations
[00:07:36] our leader in Kuara the Executive Governor of Kuara
[00:07:39] state for all the collaborative efforts
[00:07:43] to com the security crisis in quara
[00:07:46] state, this is force of his kind
[00:07:50] that such battalions will be extended to a single
[00:07:54] state. i believe
[00:07:57] today karara
[00:08:00] a time we know what we are
[00:08:03] facing and with the coming of this battalium is uma
[00:08:07] today, i believe you can be able to comb these
[00:08:10] areas.
[00:08:15] Scholars, researchers and students in the field of statistics have made
[00:08:18] case for stronger data generation and analytical mechanisms
[00:08:22] across all government agencies in order to foster greater
[00:08:26] development and enthrown standards across all processes involved
[00:08:30] in policy formulations. They made the submission a lecture
[00:08:34] centered on the foundation and frontiers of statistics for manpower
[00:08:37] development, mentorship and national transformation at the
[00:08:41] department of statistics. university of ibadon. our correspondent
[00:08:44] with reports.
[00:08:47] statistics forms the core of modern national
[00:08:50] development, serving as the empirical foundation for
[00:08:54] evidence-based policy making, resource allocation and
[00:08:58] strategic planning. governments rely on statistical
[00:09:01] data such as population sensors, household service and
[00:09:05] administrative records to design, implement,
[00:09:08] monitor and evaluate national development policies.
[00:09:12] rather than operating on
[00:09:13] intuition, scholars,
[00:09:17] technocrats and policy makers are asking critical
[00:09:20] questions about Nigeria's quest for real growth and
[00:09:24] whether or not the country can truly develop without reliable
[00:09:28] data. this experts are brainstorming a forum put
[00:09:31] together by the department of statistics, university of ibado
[00:09:35] and honor the pioneer head of department of statistics,
[00:09:39] professor Samuel to prof
[00:09:45] the statistication must then be able to
[00:09:49] ask the question that has always been at the heart the
[00:09:53] discipline, what does the evidence actually tell
[00:09:57] us? this is where the foundation meets the
[00:10:01] frontier, the mathematical principles remain, the
[00:10:04] scientific discipline remains, the need for reliable evidence
[00:10:08] remains, what changes are the tools, the scale.
[00:10:13] and the complexity the problems,
[00:10:16] statisticians believe that statistics go beyond a
[00:10:20] mathematical technique for data generation and
[00:10:23] collection, but serve as a transformative tool through which
[00:10:27] empirical information that can enhance evidence-based
[00:10:31] decision making for developmental policy formulation can be
[00:10:35] derived. the challenge before us is therefore not simply
[00:10:38] to produce more graduates, we must produce
[00:10:42] well-trained, hethical,
[00:10:45] innovative and socially responsible statistical
[00:10:49] manpower, capable of using data to
[00:10:53] solve real world problems. and contribute meaningfully
[00:10:57] to national transformation. For policy makers, every
[00:11:01] road built every school opened, every hospital
[00:11:04] equipped begins with data, so serious focus must be
[00:11:08] given to accessing and accessing critical data
[00:11:12] to make informed decisions. Nigeria need professionals
[00:11:16] who understand theory and technology, but we can also communicate
[00:11:20] clearly, or put ethical standards and
[00:11:23] translate evidence. into practical
[00:11:26] decisions, we need stronger partnership among
[00:11:29] universities, government,
[00:11:32] industry and professional bodies, we must
[00:11:36] invest in our people, improve the national statistical
[00:11:40] system and ensuring that credible evidence reaches every
[00:11:44] level of our decision making. the future statistician
[00:11:48] must be designer of representative data, an
[00:11:52] architect of analytical system a guidian of
[00:11:55] quality, a modellar of uncertainty, an
[00:11:59] evaluator of evidence, auditor, auditor of
[00:12:03] algorithms, defender of fairness and communicator of
[00:12:06] risk. the key take away is that statistics plays a key
[00:12:10] role in developing critical sectors such as
[00:12:13] security, health, education, agriculture, among others
[00:12:17] even as it promotes accountability,
[00:12:21] nevertheless, the one that for statistics to derive development
[00:12:25] the data must be accurate, it must be timely and
[00:12:29] free from political
[00:12:30] interference. channel's
[00:12:34] television
[00:12:35] news.

[00:15:33] I know as a program presenter and radio station in Nebad
[00:15:37] and..." She has graduated as a
[00:15:40] trained fashion designer here today again uh, I
[00:15:44] believe this school, this will be done in every
[00:15:48] sector the state uh, the issue of unemployment
[00:15:52] will be greatly reduced. Following its pilot phase in Abuja
[00:15:56] and the successful completion the state exercise, the
[00:15:59] nationwide rollout will move to other geopolitical zones, targeting
[00:16:03] 1,200 participants per phase with tailored region.

[00:17:52] Welcome back our university in Nadukiti is calling for
[00:17:56] increased investments in local medicine production to reduce Niger's
[00:18:00] dependence on imported pharmaceuticals including herbal products from
[00:18:03] China and India. The university is urging greater use of indig.
[00:18:07] as medicinal resources, research and local manufacturing to
[00:18:11] strengthen health care and cut import costs at
[00:18:15] its ab pharmaceuticals business summit organized with
[00:18:18] pharmaceutical marketers. the university showcased three products:
[00:18:22] abward virus seen and AB health animation
[00:18:26] 250 mg to promote nigen-made medicines. the
[00:18:30] deputy director of
[00:18:31] ab pharmaceutical services stress the need to build
[00:18:34] public confidence in locally development.
[00:18:40] before the orthodox came they were treating the the people with
[00:18:44] the and it's working for there, but we are yet to
[00:18:48] carry it like we carry the chinese drugs i've been in multilevel
[00:18:52] marketing before i have
[00:18:54] like 500
[00:18:54] down lines sweating until i came
[00:18:57] to open my
[00:19:00] eyes that our nigeria
[00:19:03] harbor products can heal that's why my repositions
[00:19:13] the university's founder's wife, also
[00:19:17] called for reduced dependence on foreign medicines to strengthen Nigeria's
[00:19:21] healthcare system while the vice chancellor the institution, professor
[00:19:25] smaranday equally emphasized the need to boost local
[00:19:28] pharmaceutical
[00:19:29] production,
[00:19:34] the pharmacist are spoken very...
[00:19:37] well of you people that are here today and surely we
[00:19:41] know that you will do your outmost best to promote
[00:19:45] all this uh
[00:19:47] drugs, well just as uh
[00:19:51] the progos the college of pharmacy have said who
[00:19:55] is all through these things wanted us to be in good
[00:19:58] health and he wanted his people to be in good
[00:20:02] health and that is why if he wants to
[00:20:06] place money on word has produced, the call is here, let
[00:20:10] us rewrite together Nigeria's pharmacy
[00:20:14] pharmaceutical story from Chinese and
[00:20:17] Indian drugs to Nigerian
[00:20:21] drugs, quality superior quality
[00:20:24] drugs, the pharmacists must understand the
[00:20:28] product, the healthcare professional must trust
[00:20:32] the evidence, the distributor must trust the
[00:20:35] supply chain, the consumer mus trust the
[00:20:39] brand and all these
[00:20:43] must ultimately rest on one thing and that
[00:20:47] is quality.
[00:20:52] The registr and chief executive officer the Teachers Registration Council
[00:20:56] of Niger Dr. Runker has emphasized that empowering
[00:21:00] teachers through continuous professional development is critical
[00:21:03] priority that requires urgent attention to improve the quality of
[00:21:07] Nigeria's education sector.
[00:21:10] Join, addition to teacher development, Dr.
[00:21:14] Shiumbo underscored the urgent need to strengthen quality assurance systems and
[00:21:18] invest in leadership training across. the sector as well, now drawing
[00:21:22] on successful educational models such as England's office for standards in
[00:21:25] education, she stressed that highly competent and well train quality assurance
[00:21:29] offices are essential to driving meaningful school improvement,
[00:21:33] fostering accountability and supporting educational
[00:21:36] excellence.
[00:21:40] i think um empowering teachers is a core
[00:21:44] area that everybody has got to look at, because um
[00:21:48] must say uh "in the past people have done a lot on
[00:21:51] infrastructure, renovations of schools, um, getting
[00:21:55] resources, if I use ok, I don't know if you remember that there was a
[00:21:58] particular exercise where we use oppo, but teachers were not carried
[00:22:02] along, and that was what failed that system, so there's a
[00:22:06] need for us to be very, very intentional
[00:22:10] with mandatory continuous professional development for all our
[00:22:13] teachers, another thing is quality assurance should be given
[00:22:17] enough attention, we need to..." have good practitioners,
[00:22:21] exemplary officers, because who is going to lead your quality
[00:22:25] assurance, it matters, because what transformed education in
[00:22:28] England is all about quality assurance offstead, offstead is coming to your
[00:22:32] school, you don't mess up, they know what they're looking for, they're not looking for
[00:22:35] money, they're looking for how they can actually partner with you and
[00:22:39] move education better, another thing will be number three will be for
[00:22:43] me will be leadership and management, because if we
[00:22:47] improve teachers across board in Nigeria, "if we don't improve our school
[00:22:51] leaders, then we have missed it, um, school
[00:22:54] leaders must be trained, um, they
[00:22:58] must be specially trained to lead our schools. I'm
[00:23:02] talking of principals, I'm talking of school head teachers, I'm
[00:23:06] talking of even
[00:23:06] proprieters.
