00:12:19compressed natural gas mass transit scheme, describing it as an
00:12:23example of people centered. governance that can help reduce transportation
00:12:27cost and ease the economic pressure on households.
00:12:31the scheme, which operates with a fleet of 100 CNG
00:12:35powered buses recorded about 3.2 million passenger trips
00:12:38and saved commuters more than 3.5 billion
00:12:42na in its first in the first months
00:12:46of 2025. a post on his official ex accounts
00:12:49president made special mention of Kadun's intervention saying
00:12:53it demonstrates how to use of cheaper domestic energy can provide
00:12:57tangible relief to citizens, the president's commendation comes as the
00:13:01federal government and the 36 states step up efforts to
00:13:05expand the national affordable CNG transit program and
00:13:09reduce transportation cost, responding to the president's
00:13:12commendation, kaduna states governor obasani expressed appreciation for the

00:13:23quote, remains the only subnational government providing
00:13:27free CNG mass transit rights to its citizens with about
00:13:313.2 million passenger trips and over 3.5 billionaire
00:13:35saved by commuters in the first year alone. the scheme has
00:13:38become one of our most impactful interventions in cuisioning
00:13:42the effects of fuel subsidy. end of quote. governor Sani says
00:13:46Kaduna government's intervention reflects its broader
00:13:49commitment to people centered governance with public resources
00:13:53targeted at areas that directly affects the daily lives of
00:13:56citizens.
00:14:02now for many women living with visical vagina
00:14:06fistula, the agony goes beyond the physical pain as
00:14:10constant urine leakage often comes with
00:14:13stigmatization, rejection and loss of
00:14:16livelihoods. this report examines the plight of VVF survivors
00:14:20in Kaduna and how the state's government is seeking to restore their
00:14:24dignity, and hope through medical treatment, skills training
00:14:28and economic empowerment. For
00:14:32years, life for most these women is defined by
00:14:35pain, embarrassment and rejection, living with
00:14:39constant urine leakage, many them have been forced to withdraw
00:14:43from their communities, losing their livelihoods and in some
00:14:47cases their families. Their condition is caused by a medical
00:14:51condition called the psychovaginal fistular VVF.
00:14:56While the situation can render its victim hopeless, the Kaduna
00:15:00State Government is given Safras a new reason to be
00:15:03hopeful through its medical and empowerment
00:15:06interventions. I understand the profound physical,
00:15:09emotional and social challenges that women living with
00:15:13oscetric fisular may experience. No woman should
00:15:17suffer in silence or feel abandoned because of a medical
00:15:21condition that can be prevented and treated. Either. make a
00:15:25plee to each and every one of us seated here to
00:15:29continue to intensify awareness, promote access to
00:15:33quality maternal healthcare, encourage skilled attendance
00:15:37during pregnancy and birth and ensure that women who require
00:15:40treatment are able to access it without fear, stigma
00:15:44or discrimination. apart from the
00:15:48medical intervention, the state government is providing
00:15:52vocational training for survivors in areas such as
00:15:55tailoring, airdressing, catering and soap
00:15:58making. we want to say thank for
00:16:02collaboration through the state ministry of health and state ministry of
00:16:06women affairs.
00:16:10this demonstrates government leadership commitment to
00:16:14you know health intervention towards solving health
00:16:18challenges in Nigeria. For the state government, the training is
00:16:22beyond skills acquisition, it's also about restoring
00:16:26confidence, hope and personal
00:16:28dignity.
00:16:32opportunity and an important medical
00:16:35intervention, but recognize that the true
00:16:39recovery goes beyond the surgery, for this
00:16:43reason we have completed the medical
00:16:46treatment with skills, acquisition and
00:16:49economic empowerment. for some these
00:16:52beneficiaries, the journey from suffering to recovery has not been
00:16:56an easy one. for these
00:17:00VVF survivors, many of whom have spent years living
00:17:04with pain, stigma and shame, the internet mentioned by the
00:17:08kaduna state government is indeed a dream come
00:17:11true, you're watching news track on
00:17:15channel's television, right after this break on the foreign
00:17:18scene Ukraine fires hundreds of drones on Moscow, details when we come

00:17:22us.

00:17:38production processes which impact the environment in more ways
00:17:42than one. The world has realized that you cannot deal with
00:17:45climate change without looking at loss of biodiversity.
00:17:49On echo Africa, nature speaks and the descerning mind becomes
00:17:53champion of sustainable living. One thing we want to do is to
00:17:57change public behavior around recycling. Watch Eco
00:18:00Africa and Channels Television and find out what nature is
00:18:04saying.
00:18:20Welcome back, the Nigerian Auto break Pied manufacturing facility in
00:18:24Lagos has reportedly shot down with the national automative design and
00:18:28development council blaming the influx of cheaper substandard
00:18:31imported alternatives for the setback, the director general the
00:18:35NADDC, Joseph. raised the
00:18:39concern while leading the council's governing board a tour of
00:18:42automative assembly and manufacturing plants in lagos to assess their
00:18:46operational capacities and identify their
00:18:49challenges. the DG says the closure highlights a major
00:18:53challenge facing local manufacturers, the difficulty of competing
00:18:57on price with imported products as well the quality of locally made
00:19:01components.
00:19:06in the next factory. is where we normally
00:19:09manufacture,
00:19:11mechano usually manufacture break part and they have one the best
00:19:15brake part in the country, while other bak imported
00:19:18we we do like 3,400, this can do like 10,000,
00:19:22but unfortunately that factory have to close down
00:19:26now because the the cause
00:19:30the imported one are little bit cheaper, not even a little bit
00:19:33cheaper uh, but they have lower standard, lower quality.
00:19:37than what you are having here, so when people are saying Nigerian made parts are
00:19:41more expensive, is more expensive for for
00:19:45reason, and one the reasons is because they are better
00:19:49quality than what we get, so we need to engage them to
00:19:53know what they are passing through, and again you know we are working
00:19:56on uh uh automotive industry
00:20:00industry uh bill and that bill
00:20:03we need to take it to cognisers these challenges.
00:20:07so that we talk with them, we interact with them, we see life what
00:20:11they are passing through, and that's why we have we have gone on
00:20:14this,
00:20:19meanwile, industry operators are calling for better tariff
00:20:23incentives, arguing that current policies put locally
00:20:27assembled vehicles a disadvantage compared with fully built
00:20:31imported
00:20:31cars,
00:20:36just like every normal assembly. every assembly plant in Nigeria as we worked by, I'm sure you
00:20:40have seen our testers, we have all the testers they need as the the speed
00:20:43testers, the real tester, the light testers, we balancing all the testers we
00:20:47have here on ground and I must say we... we we we've um enjoyed a lot of
00:20:51patronage from commercial sector and government sector and these vehicles are doing very fine. the major
00:20:55challenge is the policy and the tariff. we get better
00:20:58incentive whereby where we bring the vehicles in we should have better tarief
00:21:02compared to someone that is bringing it fully built in and this is what we've been
00:21:06preaching for and this is what we've been advocating for
00:21:09and uh we are we are we are
00:21:13we are hopeful that uh before the end of this
00:21:16government this this will be pass into law.
00:21:21The Center for the promotion of private enterprise, CPPE is
00:21:25raising concerns over the growing presence of foreign nationals,
00:21:28particularly Chinese traders in Niger's retail sector. The group says
00:21:32the trend could threaten local businesses, jobs in fair
00:21:36competition with wholesale and retail trade accounting for
00:21:39about 27.5% of Niger's workforce.
00:21:43CPPE is calling for review of business
00:21:46permits, expatriates quotas and immigration approvals.
00:21:50for foreign retailers, it says Nigeria should continue to work on foreign
00:21:54investment but focus more on productive sectors such as
00:21:58manufacturing, technology and infrastructure while protecting
00:22:01domestic businesses and
00:22:03jobs.
00:22:08And on the foreign scene, there are reports Ukraine has fired its largest
