00:03:59Air Force, and the families
00:04:00of the victims
00:04:01of the October 5th air crash. the fatal incident led to the

00:04:08crew members. the monarch who was speaking with channel's television in his
00:04:12palace expressed sadness over the loss of
00:04:15of lives praying for the repose
00:04:18of of the souls of the victims. he laments that the incident has resulted in the pollution
00:04:20of the river which the community depends on for drinking and other
00:04:26of of purposes. a sincere.
00:04:30congelasses to the wife
00:04:32of the pilot in particular, your husband saved
00:04:36us here, sacrifice his life and the lives of
00:04:40those
00:04:40of that were with him in the plane, it's going to
00:04:44be painful to you to your family and
00:04:48friends, but to us, he is hero
00:04:52within us and we will celebrate him, the only lock we
00:04:56have is that the plane did not crash within the community, which you...
00:05:00taking lives within hair, but even when it
00:05:03of has of not taken lives of our people
00:05:05of directly, it's going to take lives eventually, because our people cannot drink from this
00:05:09water now, and we do not have alternative.
00:05:13that's the water we fetch to cook, that's the water we
00:05:16drink from, that's the water we use for our day-to-day
00:05:20lives, and if today
00:05:22it is that polluted, the stench is nothing
00:05:26else, but from dead
00:05:29bodies that are infested the waters as it
00:05:33were, and the implication
00:05:37is that we have to st for
00:05:41some time, without fish, without water to
00:05:44drink, it is
00:05:45unfortunate.

00:08:10areas.
00:08:15Scholars, researchers and students in the field of statistics have made
00:08:18case for stronger data generation and analytical mechanisms
00:08:22across all government agencies in order to foster greater
00:08:26development and enthrown standards across all processes involved
00:08:30in policy formulations. They made the submission a lecture
00:08:34centered on the foundation and frontiers of statistics for manpower
00:08:37development, mentorship and national transformation at the
00:08:41department of statistics. university of ibadon. our correspondent
00:08:44with reports.
00:08:47statistics forms the core of modern national
00:08:50development, serving as the empirical foundation for
00:08:54evidence-based policy making, resource allocation and
00:08:58strategic planning. governments rely on statistical
00:09:01data such as population sensors, household service and
00:09:05administrative records to design, implement,
00:09:08monitor and evaluate national development policies.
00:09:12rather than operating on
00:09:13intuition, scholars,
00:09:17technocrats and policy makers are asking critical
00:09:20questions about Nigeria's quest for real growth and
00:09:24whether or not the country can truly develop without reliable
00:09:28data. this experts are brainstorming a forum put
00:09:31together by the department of statistics, university of ibado
00:09:35and honor the pioneer head of department of statistics,
00:09:39professor Samuel to prof
00:09:45the statistication must then be able to
00:09:49ask the question that has always been at the heart the
00:09:53discipline, what does the evidence actually tell
00:09:57us? this is where the foundation meets the
00:10:01frontier, the mathematical principles remain, the
00:10:04scientific discipline remains, the need for reliable evidence
00:10:08remains, what changes are the tools, the scale.
00:10:13and the complexity the problems,
00:10:16statisticians believe that statistics go beyond a
00:10:20mathematical technique for data generation and
00:10:23collection, but serve as a transformative tool through which
00:10:27empirical information that can enhance evidence-based
00:10:31decision making for developmental policy formulation can be
00:10:35derived. the challenge before us is therefore not simply
00:10:38to produce more graduates, we must produce
00:10:42well-trained, hethical,
00:10:45innovative and socially responsible statistical
00:10:49manpower, capable of using data to
00:10:53solve real world problems. and contribute meaningfully
00:10:57to national transformation. For policy makers, every
00:11:01road built every school opened, every hospital
00:11:04equipped begins with data, so serious focus must be
00:11:08given to accessing and accessing critical data
00:11:12to make informed decisions. Nigeria need professionals
00:11:16who understand theory and technology, but we can also communicate
00:11:20clearly, or put ethical standards and
00:11:23translate evidence. into practical
00:11:26decisions, we need stronger partnership among
00:11:29universities, government,
00:11:32industry and professional bodies, we must
00:11:36invest in our people, improve the national statistical
00:11:40system and ensuring that credible evidence reaches every
00:11:44level of our decision making. the future statistician
00:11:48must be designer of representative data, an
00:11:52architect of analytical system a guidian of
00:11:55quality, a modellar of uncertainty, an
00:11:59evaluator of evidence, auditor, auditor of
00:12:03algorithms, defender of fairness and communicator of
00:12:06risk. the key take away is that statistics plays a key
00:12:10role in developing critical sectors such as
00:12:13security, health, education, agriculture, among others
00:12:17even as it promotes accountability,
00:12:21nevertheless, the one that for statistics to derive development
00:12:25the data must be accurate, it must be timely and
00:12:29free from political
00:12:30interference. channel's

00:17:52Welcome back our university in Nadukiti is calling for
00:17:56increased investments in local medicine production to reduce Niger's
00:18:00dependence on imported pharmaceuticals including herbal products from
00:18:03China and India. The university is urging greater use of indig.
00:18:07as medicinal resources, research and local manufacturing to
00:18:11strengthen health care and cut import costs at
00:18:15its ab pharmaceuticals business summit organized with
00:18:18pharmaceutical marketers. the university showcased three products:
00:18:22abward virus seen and AB health animation
00:18:26250 mg to promote nigen-made medicines. the
00:18:30deputy director of
00:18:31ab pharmaceutical services stress the need to build
00:18:34public confidence in locally development.
00:18:40before the orthodox came they were treating the the people with
00:18:44the and it's working for there, but we are yet to
00:18:48carry it like we carry the chinese drugs i've been in multilevel
00:18:52marketing before i have
00:18:54like 500
00:18:54down lines sweating until i came
00:18:57to open my
00:19:00eyes that our nigeria
00:19:03harbor products can heal that's why my repositions
00:19:13the university's founder's wife, also
00:19:17called for reduced dependence on foreign medicines to strengthen Nigeria's
00:19:21healthcare system while the vice chancellor the institution, professor
00:19:25smaranday equally emphasized the need to boost local
00:19:28pharmaceutical
00:19:29production,
00:19:34the pharmacist are spoken very...
00:19:37well of you people that are here today and surely we
00:19:41know that you will do your outmost best to promote
00:19:45all this uh
00:19:47drugs, well just as uh
00:19:51the progos the college of pharmacy have said who
00:19:55is all through these things wanted us to be in good
00:19:58health and he wanted his people to be in good
00:20:02health and that is why if he wants to
00:20:06place money on word has produced, the call is here, let
00:20:10us rewrite together Nigeria's pharmacy
00:20:14pharmaceutical story from Chinese and
00:20:17Indian drugs to Nigerian
00:20:21drugs, quality superior quality
00:20:24drugs, the pharmacists must understand the
00:20:28product, the healthcare professional must trust
00:20:32the evidence, the distributor must trust the
00:20:35supply chain, the consumer mus trust the
00:20:39brand and all these
00:20:43must ultimately rest on one thing and that
00:20:47is quality.
00:20:52The registr and chief executive officer the Teachers Registration Council
00:20:56of Niger Dr. Runker has emphasized that empowering
00:21:00teachers through continuous professional development is critical
00:21:03priority that requires urgent attention to improve the quality of
00:21:07Nigeria's education sector.
00:21:10Join, addition to teacher development, Dr.
00:21:14Shiumbo underscored the urgent need to strengthen quality assurance systems and
00:21:18invest in leadership training across. the sector as well, now drawing
00:21:22on successful educational models such as England's office for standards in
00:21:25education, she stressed that highly competent and well train quality assurance
00:21:29offices are essential to driving meaningful school improvement,
00:21:33fostering accountability and supporting educational
00:21:36excellence.
00:21:40i think um empowering teachers is a core
00:21:44area that everybody has got to look at, because um
00:21:48must say uh "in the past people have done a lot on
00:21:51infrastructure, renovations of schools, um, getting
00:21:55resources, if I use ok, I don't know if you remember that there was a
00:21:58particular exercise where we use oppo, but teachers were not carried
00:22:02along, and that was what failed that system, so there's a
00:22:06need for us to be very, very intentional
00:22:10with mandatory continuous professional development for all our
00:22:13teachers, another thing is quality assurance should be given
00:22:17enough attention, we need to..." have good practitioners,
00:22:21exemplary officers, because who is going to lead your quality
00:22:25assurance, it matters, because what transformed education in
00:22:28England is all about quality assurance offstead, offstead is coming to your
00:22:32school, you don't mess up, they know what they're looking for, they're not looking for
00:22:35money, they're looking for how they can actually partner with you and
00:22:39move education better, another thing will be number three will be for
00:22:43me will be leadership and management, because if we
00:22:47improve teachers across board in Nigeria, "if we don't improve our school
00:22:51leaders, then we have missed it, um, school
00:22:54leaders must be trained, um, they
00:22:58must be specially trained to lead our schools. I'm
00:23:02talking of principals, I'm talking of school head teachers, I'm
00:23:06talking of even
00:23:06proprieters.
