Why Nigerian Foods are Rejected Abroad 


The Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, has identified non-compliance with advisory guidelines established by the agency and unwillingness of exporters to comply with minimal sanitary measures as some of the reasons Nigerian food products are rejected in the United Kingdom.


Adeyeye, however, said it held a scheduled side event with the UK Food Standard Agency to change the narrative and stop the rejection of Nigerian food products in the international market.


The meeting, she said, was held during the recently concluded workshop on the Nigeria-UK Enhanced Trade & Investment Partnership in London, hosted under the UK-Developing Country Trading Scheme with the Nigerian delegation led by the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, & Investment.


Speaking on Tuesday at a press briefing in Abuja, Adeyeye noted that she was represented by the Director, Ports Inspection Directorate and Head of Office of Trade and International Relations, Dr Abimbola Adegboye.


Reps Urge FG To Reopen North-West Land Borders


The House of Representatives on Tuesday urged the Federal Government to reopen the Land borders in the North West comprising Maigatari, Mai’Aduwa, Kongwalam and Illelaborders in Jigawa, Katsina and Sokoto States border towns respectively.


This followed the adoption of a motion moved by Hon. Aliyu Sani Madaki on the urgent need to reopen the border towns at the Plenary presided over by the Deputy Speaker Hon Benjamin Kalu.


The Lawmaker said that the House noted that the border towns of Maigatari in Jigawa State, Kongwalam in Katsina State and Illela in Sokoto State, as well as Kano State, ” are known for their large markets where large-scale international trades take place between Nigerians and people from Niger, Mali, Chad, Cameroon and other neighbouring countries”.


Nigeria Must Invest In Public Education To Break Poverty — Soludo


The Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, emphasised that Nigeria, as a nation, must heavily invest in public primary and secondary schools to provide children of the “poorest of the poor” with access to quality basic education.


This initiative aims to break the cycle of poverty across the states of the Federation.


Soludo conveyed this message on Tuesday during a courtesy visit to the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mammam, SAN, at his office in Abuja.


He disclosed that Anambra has four strata of educational provision, categorised as private schools, mission public schools, mission private schools, and public-public schools.


He further explained that the Mission Public Schools were initially taken over by the government from the missionaries and later returned to the churches.

26 Decade-Defining Events in U.S. History

Trying to identify any single event as crucial to the understanding of a given decade may be even more arbitrary. It is certainly subjective. Nevertheless, that attempt can at the very least be a catalyst for discussion. What follows is an attempt to identify decade-defining moments in the history of the United States since the country’s inception. 1770s: Declaration of Independence (1776) The centrality of the Declaration of Independence (1776) to the developments of the 1770s is self-evident. From the Boston Tea Party to the “shot heard round the world,” Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River, and the Valley Forge winter, the American Revolution’s pursuit of liberty was made meaningful by the founding document of the great American experiment in democracy. 1780s: Constitution of the United States of America (1787) With the war won, independenc...

Passengers watched as the woman clambered on top of her companion and they began to romp an hour into the flight to the party island. Kieran Williams, 21, from Preston, Lancashire, was astonished to see the couple's raunchy antics an hour into the flight on the budget airline. 'I heard them talking about it but I thought they were joking. The guy was shouting, "Anyone got a jelly?" meaning condom. We all laughed but then ten minutes later they actually did it. They seemed so drunk, they brought a lot of attention to themselves. 'You could see the girl taking off her pants and he pulled his trousers off. She started riding him. 'I had to get my p...
