IJURIN BASIC HEALTH CENTRE GETS FACE-LIFT.

The Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi had during his electioneering campaign in 2018 promised that no town or community will be left behind in the developmental agenda of his administration. One of the pillars of his administration is affordable health care.

During his first term in office between 2010-2014,each community in Ekiti State can point to one or two projects in their domain executed by Governor Fayemi and Ijurin town was not an exception. It was during his first term that we had the first tarred road in the town,the citadel of learning in the town, Ijurin Comprehensive High school was renovated, the Ojurin ancient palace was given a face-lift,construction of an ICT centre and a brand new C.A.C primary school was established in the town.

Governor Fayemi continue his pedestal of development in his second term and when a community like Ijurin embraces Progressive Party, development will not be far from it.

The remodelling, rehabilitation and reconstruction of Ijurin Basic Health Centre began last year and to God be the glory, the project is now completed and ready for commission. The Basic Health Centre formerly known as Maternity Centre was not only given a face-lift in terms of physical structures but also the centre was equipped with modern health facilities. Few days ago, the emergency vehicle, Ambulance arrived the town thereby making  Ijurin, the second town to have such in the entire local government, after Ijero, the local government headquarter. Other medical equipment at the centre included Ultra Sound Scanning Machine, I.U.D kit,Suction Pump, Examination Couch, Solar Deep Freezer, RDTs kits for malaria diagnosis, Stadiometer, Delivery Couch among others.

With this development, the people of the town and neighbouring communities will now enjoy a robust and better health services.

It is the prayer of each community to have their sons and daughters in high places, particularly in government circle. One thing is to have an illustrious son in places of authority, another thing is for that person to be responsible. In Ijurin-Ekiti, we have a son, Hon Biodun Omoleye, the Chief of staff to Ekiti State Governor who is highly responsible and doing everything possible to put the name of the town in the world map. Kudos must therefore be given to Hon Biodun Omoleye for attracting this laudable project and many others to his home town.

TIPS ON HOW TO RETRIEVE BACK MONEY FROM SCAMMERS

"Tips on how to retrieve your money after you have been scammed"BLACK

Please read carefully and learn.

20% of social media users and shoppers have been scammed at one point or the other, either large bucks or small money and It's quite painful.

Many people don't always know what to do, so today I’m sharing with you things you do, when you realize a page you paid for a service or goods is ghosting you:

1. Screenshot all previous chats across all messaging app (IG and WhatsApp or FB).

 2. Write out the Full name and account number of the page or person.

3. Go to the last notification your bank sent you after you made the payment (via mobile app or text)

4.  copy out the "TRANSACTION ID NUMBER".

5. Go to any branch of the scammer’s bank (the bank the scammer uses), ask to see the CUSTOMER SERVICE in charge of FRAUD.

6. If you can, print out all those chats with the scammer, and submit it. While you are there, send an email to SCAMMER'S BANK and copy CBN FRAUD DESK (anticorruptionunit@cenbank.org)

This will ginger the bank to take it up fast.
What should you expect from this?

The culprit/suspects account will be PLACED ON HOLD. Meaning he/she cannot transfer or withdraw until they visit the bank and when they do, the bank will contact the police and the suspect when proven guilty will sign a waiver allowing the bank to refund your money.

Thanks and God bless you.
Say No to Fraud!

A LIBRARY FOR UWA.

By: -Shade Adepoju.

Those who raped Uwa Omozuwa, leading to her death, must have kept a trail on her.
They must have known she was headed for the church at that point in time on that fateful day.
They must have known she found the church as an option to a library that was never available for her to study.

Uwa's is a story of failure
The failure of hope, in our desire to return the dying reading culture among young people.
Uwa's community failed her.
Her country failed her.
The lack of a library failed her.
We failed her.

We should have known better to avail Uwa a Library to read.
Her community would have obliged her a library to read
Her country should have obliged her a library to read
Maybe, just may be, she would have still been alive.
If only Uwa had a library in her community.
She wouldn't have been exposed to the company of her rapists, alone.
If only governments funded libraries.
There would have been several for other Uwas who love to read.
If only governments would do better, virtual libraries will offer benefits to users with remote access.

For every Uwa out there in search of a place to read.
You don't deserve to die in pursuit of it.
It should not be.

Your community owes you a library, if government fails to provide one.
We owe one another a  library.
As everyone deserves one
Just as Uwa did.
