Prof. Adenike Oladiji, a former Director, Central Research Laboratories, University of Ilorin, says Nigerian scientists are good enough to dominate the field of Science if they have improved access to funds.

Oladiji told journalists in an interview on Wednesday in Ilorin that Nigerian scientists needed funding to work on various scientific explorations and at the exact time.

She explained that the only difference between Nigerian scientists and their colleagues from the advanced countries was the availability or otherwise of enabling environment.

The don, who was recently inducted into the Fellowship cadre of the Nigerian Academy of Science, added that if all that were needed were made available, Nigerian scientists would do better in addressing contemporary challenges.

On the pervasive COVID-19 pandemic, Oladiji expressed satisfaction that the scientists had succeeded in developing the vaccine which would be deployed to the treatment of the disease quicker than it was previously envisaged.

She, however, regretted that scientists had yet to receive enough encouragement from members of the public.

“With the threatening resurgence of the Coronavirus disease prevention remains the most potent instrument of halting its spread,” she said.

She advised that everything worth doing should be done to prevent a situation where the cankerworm would be contracted by more people. (NAN)

The Borno State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) on Saturday said it spent over N2 billion distributing food items and condiments to IDPs in the last four years. SEMA’s chairman, Alhaji Satomi Ahmad, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Maiduguri. Ahmad said that the amount went into procurement and distribution of foodstuffs, firewood, drugs and condiments to persons displaced by Boko Haram insurgency in the state. He said that the gesture was to augment the Federal Government and development agencies’ efforts to support the displaced persons and address humanitarian crisis. “Previously, the agency spent about N20 million on procurement and distribution of firewood alone to displaced households in the camps and liberated communities. “The trend resulted in unprecedented upsurge in the demand and supply of firewood in the state. “This also naturally resulted in depletion of forest resources and destruction of the environment which left us with no options than to start using charcoal,” he said. Satomi said the choice of charcoal came with high cost as the initial funds for firewood went up astronomically. The chairman said the agency had also concluded arrangements to de-worm and immunise all children in IDPs camps and liberated communities. He said that the exercise was designed to protect children against diseases, reduce morbidity and mortality. According to him, the agency had deployed nine mobile clinics to enhance rapid response and disaster management services in the state.
