ACReSAL To Unveil Modern Plastic Waste To Wealth Management In Kano

By Admin Nov. 2, 2023

 

The Agro-Climatic Resilience in Semi-Arid Landscapes (ACReSAL) is working on modalities and modern techniques of plastic waste management to ensure a clean environment and create employment opportunities for teeming youths in Kano.

This paper reports that Kano ACReSAL Project Coordinator, Dr. Dahir M. Hasim stated this in an interview with China Radio International, CRI Hausa in Beijing.

Hashim was in China for two weeks for a specialized training session on plastic waste management techniques organized by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, at Suzhou University of Science and Technology.

The medical doctor turned environmentalist said the knowledge acquired at the training would be put to better use in collaboration with REMASAB.

“Suzhou’s remarkable environmental cleanliness has left a lasting impact on me,” said Dr. Hashim.

“The effect plastics are having in our environment is something we should pay special attention to, most especially if you look at how it affects the use of decomposed waste into making compost manure, ”he added.

“Utilizing my knowledge towards a better environment is one of my take-homes. REMASAB is the agency that looks into waste management in Kano, and I will make sure we give them all the necessary support.”

Dr. Hashim stressed the significance of waste sorting and recycling, noting that: “Recycling is one of the most lucrative businesses any community or state can rely on in terms of income and revenue generation. I made the commitment of creating sensitization around waste sorting and seeking government support to create a policy that will attract investors into the waste-to-wealth intervention.”

My experiences in China have solidified my vision for a cleaner, greener Kano State:

“The training sessions were invaluable, especially considering the environmental challenges we are facing in Kano, such as climate change, drylands, erosion, flooding, and land degradation. My goal is to make a positive environmental impact in our community.”

 

Dr. Hashim noted that this initiative of plastic waste management is geared towards a clean environment and  job creation which are parts of the job mantra of Gov. Abba Kabiru Yusuf’s administration

He expressed commitment and determination for the knowledge acquired at the training to be transferred so as to create a sustainable future for Kano State.

By Admin

Kaduna State Governor, Sen. Uba Sani has made an important announcement regarding the release of the over 200 Kuriga school children who were kidnapped by suspected bandits.

The Governor’s announcement came late Saturday night, confirming the liberation of the school children.

“With utmost gratitude, I am pleased to announce that the children from our Kuriga school have been safely released”, he stated.

“Our special appreciation goes to our dear President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for prioritizing the safety and security of Nigerians and particularly ensuring that the abducted Kuriga school children are released unharmed.

“While the school children were in captivity, I spoke with Mr. President several times. He empathized with us, provided solace, and tirelessly collaborated with us to ensure the children’s safe return.

“Special mention must also be made of our dear brother, the National Security Adviser, Mal. Nuhu Ribadu for his exemplary leadership. I spent countless nights working closely with Mal. Ribadu, refining strategies and coordinating the efforts of the security agencies, which ultimately led to this positive outcome.

“The Nigerian Army also deserves special commendation for showing that with courage, determination and commitment, criminal elements can be degraded and security restored in our communities.

”We also thank all Nigerians who prayed fervently for the safe return of the school children. Today is truly a cause for celebration. We give Almighty Allah all the glory.“

BREAKING: Appeal Court Sacks Kano Gov

By Admin

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has sacked Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State.

The panel upheld the verdict of the tribunal led by Justice Oluyemi Akintan Osadebay which sacked Yusuf on September 20, 2023.

 

The lower court had declared 165,663 votes of Yusuf, who contested under the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), invalid on the grounds that they were not signed or stamped by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

 

The governor’s votes were then reduced to 853,939 while those of Nasir Ganuwa, his All Progressives Congress (APC) rival, remained at 890,705.

 

Yusuf had rejected the tribunal verdict, which he described as “unfair” and “a miscarriage of justice”, and headed to the appeal court.

The lower court had declared 165,663 votes of Yusuf, who contested under the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), invalid on the grounds that they were not signed or stamped by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Yusuf had rejected the tribunal verdict, which he described as “unfair” and “a miscarriage of justice”, and headed to the appeal court.

At the court, Wole Olanipekun, SAN, lead for Yusuf, asked that the judgement of the tribunal be set aside.

Kicking against the ruling on ballot papers, the senior lawyer said that was the first time in the history that a tribunal would annul an election over non-signing of the back of ballot papers.

He had said the tribunal erred, arguing further that, that was the first time that a political party would file a matter without joining its candidate as a party in the petition and the candidate would declared winner of the polls.

But Akin Olujimi SAN, counsel for APC, countered him saying the Appeal Court stated emphatically that the non-signing of ballots amounted to electoral malpractice.
