Ohuabunwa, a former President of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria, made this recommendation on Monday in Arochukwu, Abia State.

He stressed that implementing such measures could significantly reduce fatalities, especially among low-income individuals who struggle to afford essential drugs or manage their health conditions effectively.

Ohuabunwa highlighted the importance of providing medical palliatives to mitigate the impact of skyrocketing drug prices across the country’s pharmacies. Advertisement

While acknowledging the government’s efforts in distributing food palliatives, Ohuabunwa emphasized the need for medical interventions to save lives.

“Considering the high inflation and currency devaluation, with most raw and finished materials being imported, the government must address this issue. While food palliatives are essential, medical palliatives are equally crucial for the survival of Nigerians,” Ohuabunwa stated.

“SHOCKING REVELATION: Secrets Exposed In Explosive New Report!”.

Published

on

The Federal Workers Forum has issued a notice of potential indefinite national industrial action, citing escalating insecurity and a failure to resolve critical wage grievances. The following summary details the forum’s position:....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

    • Leadership Critique: The forum, represented by National Coordinator Mr. Emelieze and Secretary Mr. Ayo Ogundele, has criticized the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) for failing to provide adequate leadership regarding these worker concerns.

    • Wage Implementation Issues: The group reports that an online poll of members strongly supports a strike. They allege the July 2024 minimum wage adjustment provided only a taxable ₦40,000 uniform increase, which they claim delivered no meaningful benefit.

    • Broken Promises: Workers claim that a 40% peculiar allowance promised by the Head of the Civil Service, Didi Walson-Jack, for May 1, 2026, was subsequently rejected by the Office of the Accountant-General. Furthermore, they report that May 2026 salaries did not include the wage awards promised by the Minister of Finance, and consequential adjustments remain unpaid.

    • Outstanding Entitlements: The forum highlighted long-standing arrears, including two months of wage awards from July 2024, unpaid promotion arrears, and outstanding Duty Tour Allowance claims.

    • Rejection of Proposals: The group has rejected a ₦100,000 minimum wage proposal backed by the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, labeling it a “Greek gift” aimed at suppressing earnings, and instead is demanding a living wage and a cost-of-living allowance.

    • Insecurity Concerns: Beyond economic issues, the forum expressed alarm over the rise in kidnappings and violent attacks, specifically citing recent incidents in Oyo and Borno states.

    • Government Demands: The forum has urged the NLC and TUC to engage the government on these hardships and has called on the government to secure the release of all hostages, including teachers and schoolchildren. Additionally, the group suggested that the National Assembly consider legislation regarding civilian firearm ownership and that a sovereign national conference be convened to address the nation’s challenges.

“CASH CLASH: LP Stands Firm, Rejects Refund Demands For ₦150 Million Nomination Fee”.

Published

on

The Labour Party (LP) has officially pushed back against accusations of fraud and sabotage leveled by disqualified presidential aspirant, Peter Agada. Following his exclusion from the party’s May 30 presidential primary, Agada’s campaign council petitioned for a refund of his ₦150 million nomination fee, alleging that the party leadership knowingly accepted the payment despite his intended disqualification due to the party’s zoning policy.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

  • Zoning Policy: LP National Publicity Secretary, Asogwa, maintained that the decision to zone the presidency to the South was not a recent or secret development.

  • Constitutional Ratification: The policy was formally adopted and ratified on April 28, 2026, during the party’s national convention, which serves as the LP’s highest decision-making authority.

  • Binding Resolutions: These convention resolutions are binding on all stakeholders, meaning no aspirants are exempt from the established zoning framework.

  • Aspirant Risk: Asogwa argued that Agada undertook a personal political risk by purchasing forms and campaigning while the zoning arrangement was already public knowledge.

  • Dismissal of Claims: The party dismissed Agada’s additional claims of spending over ₦300 million as irrelevant to the constitutional enforcement of party rules.

  • Institutional Integrity: The LP asserted that the disqualification was a necessary measure to maintain internal cohesion and balance, rather than an act of vindictiveness against a specific individual.
