President MUHAMMADU BUHARI has suspended the Chairman of the Special Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property, OKOI OBONO-OBLA.

 This was confirmed via the official twitter handle of the Presidency.

 According to the Presidency, the suspension is to be in effect until the conclusion of ongoing investigations by the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission.

Lagos-based lawyer, MONDAY UBANI has made a reaction on the development.

There are indications that the Federal Government might ask the University of Jos to withdraw OBONO-OBLA’s Law degree while the Nigerian Law School might also be directed to bar him from practising as a lawyer.

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority has issued a warning to airlines over the resurgence of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease.

This followed the World Health Organization’s declaration of Ebola outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.

Consequently, the NCAA directed all operators, especially airlines operating regional and international flights into the country, to exercise a high level of vigilance.

The directive was contained in a letter signed by the Director General, Captain MUHTAR USMAN to all airline operators.

The regulatory agency also ordered Pilots-In-Command to immediately report any passenger suspected to have Ebola disease to the Air Traffic Controllers.

The President of the Nigerian Medical Association, Dr FRANCIS FADUYILE has lamented the lack of adequate support by the government in the nation’s health sector.

Dr FADUYILE was reacting to the recent travelling of the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, IBRAHIM EL-ZAKZAKY and his wife ZEENAT to India for medical treatment.

El-Zakzaky and his wife arrived in New Delhi in the company of some family members and security operatives based on a leave granted by a Kaduna high court.

In an interview with Inspiration FM, the NMA president said though people are free to seek medical care anywhere, the government should pay more attention to the health sector in Nigeria.

Dr FADUYILE gave some suggestions on how the government can borrow a leaf from the countries who are benefitting from medical tourism.
