With an active Ebola outbreak now in Uganda with... confirmed cases in Kampala and Wakiso linked to the DRC situation, our leaders must set the highest example in caution and vigilance. It is disappointing to see former Health Minister Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng Ocero hugging John Patrick Amama Mbabazi at a time when the public is being urged to limit close contact and observe safety protocols. Public officials should be exemplary, not just in words but in actions. The Ministry of Health- Uganda and government must prioritize clear communication, contact tracing, and border measures to protect citizens. Lives are at stake. Alan Kasujjashow more

Another shocking act of recklessness from Bihar. On a... National Highway in Bihar, seven people are seen riding on the roof and bonnet of a Thar SUV. This is not just dangerous. it is a direct challenge to Bihar Police and the law-and-order system. Bihar’s roads must not be turned into a Haryana-style stunt zone. Such blatant disregard for public safety cannot be ignored. The Bihar government must take immediate and strict action against those involved, set an example, and ensure that highways are not reduced to playgrounds for irresponsible behaviour. Law must be enforced before lives are lost.show more

🔴 Public Protests in Khomam, Gilan Province Residents of... the city of Khomam, in Iran’s northern Gilan Province, took to the streets in protest against repeated and prolonged cuts to water, electricity, and gas supplies. This is yet another example in a growing wave of public unrest across Iran, reflecting the regime’s utter failure to provide even the most basic services to its citizens. The Islamic Republic is a terrorist, corrupt, and incompetent regime. It is not the solution to Iran’s crises — it is the source of them. This regime must go.show more

Today, at Redeemer’s University Redeemer's University, Ede, Osun State,... I was glad to commission the new Institute of Genomics and Global Health, marking a significant evolution from ACEGID’s @acegid status as a center of excellence. This moment is not only a proud achievement for all those involved, but it also stands as a powerful symbol of what African scientific leadership can achieve on the global stage. Under the visionary leadership of Prof Christian Happi Christian T. Happi, the team at ACEGID has made extraordinary strides in genomic research, particularly in addressing some of the most pressing infectious disease challenges of our time. The inauguration of the Institute reminds us that the work being done by the ACEGID team is a global public good, benefiting not only Nigeria and Africa but also contributing to global health security. The partnerships fostered between institutions and scientists from the Global North and South are a testament to our shared commitment to protecting and advancing human health. This collaboration has demonstrated what is possible when we work together to confront challenges that affect us all. Under the visionary leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Bola Ahmed Tinubu health security remains a central pillar of our broader strategy to transform Nigeria’s health system, unlock the value chain, and improve population health outcomes. This is why supporting cutting-edge scientific research, like the work at this Institute, is essential. We need to create a health system environment with strong public health capabilities to withstand the potential and evolving threats posed by infectious diseases and the ongoing impacts of climate change. The pace at which new health threats are emerging is accelerating, and with it, the need for robust scientific responses. The innovations in genomics we are witnessing at ACEGID provide a glimmer of hope, offering us the tools we need to be better prepared for what may come. The Federal Government of Nigeria Government of Nigeria is fully committed to supporting these efforts, knowing that science must lead the way in securing a healthier future for all.show more

This bridge, reportedly located in Jamui, Bihar, has become... hollow from inside, and one can clearly see through it from end to end. This is not just negligence it is a serious threat to public safety. Such a dangerous condition exists only because of the complete failure of monitoring and vigilance by the authorities. This is a clear example of how lives are being put at risk due to administrative apathy. We strongly urge the Bihar Government to take immediate cognizance of this matter, conduct a high-level inquiry, fix accountability, and ensure urgent repair or reconstruction before an irreversible tragedy occurs. How many warnings does the system need before lives are lost?show more

Today, Labour blocked our Deportation Bill. Faced with a... serious plan to fix our immigration system, they flat out refused to act. Our Bill set out real and immediate action. The automatic deportation for illegal arrivals, the disapplication of the Human Rights Act in immigration cases, and the powers to shut down abuse of our borders. It was bold, necessary, and ready to go, but Labour killed it. Instead, the Prime Minister is filling his time taking credit for the successful results of Conservative policies and being shut down by the Albanian Prime Minister, who confirmed there will be no UK returns hub with Albania. Labour must now explain to the public why they’ve chosen to keep the boats coming, protect the rights of criminals over victims, and ignore the very people they were elected to serve.show more

Religious freedom should never come at the cost of... public safety. This man is still flexing a large lethal sharp blade in the name of religion in public. The ban on large and sharp kirpans should be implemented immediately. No one should lose their life because dangerous weapons are carried in public under religious exemptions. Respect for faith and respect for life can coexist. There are ways to honor religious traditions without putting others at risk. No more deaths in the name of religious freedom. Public safety must come first.show more

With World Health Organization (WHO)'s support, Ministry of Health-... Uganda has started a vaccine trial against #Ebola Sudan virus today. The trial will enroll contacts of people with the disease, and contacts of the contacts. This vaccination trial was initiated with record speed, only three days since the outbreak was declared, while ensuring full compliance with international and national regulatory and ethical requirements. It is also the first trial to assess the clinical efficacy of a vaccine against Ebola Sudan virus disease. This trial demonstrates the importance of investing in R&D for vaccines and treatments and outbreak response preparedness, as well as partnerships. We thank Makerere University University and UVRI for their leadership, as well as Africa CDC, CEPI, EU HERA and IDRC | CRDI for their collaboration on this lifesaving effort. WHO will continue supporting the government in a comprehensive response to bring the outbreak under control.show more

The Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa has no business... in the UK at this time, he should be leading a delegation of the service chiefs to Maiduguri immediately. I have been remotely involved in the activities on the state visit and the key issues that have dominated the conversations are on trade, business and investment. Unlike the visit to Turkey, the UK is not offering Nigeria any material support in defence and intelligence. So at best, he could have had someone else stand in for him on this trip. He has more serious demands on the home front. The Minister of defence came in with the ovation of all Nigerians and to whom much is given much is also expected. Nigerians want to see tangible improvements in the security situation. Himself and the service won’t be afforded excuses much longer. They must step up and justify the confidence President Bola Tinubu has reposed in them. Nigerians are impatient they want to see an overall improvement in the security situation. The clock is ticking.show more

Today a group of Muslims prayed next to the... Ministry of Defence, facing the Iraq and Afghanistan memorial. As I have said before, choosing to pray in this way in public is a political act. It is a social statement and, yes, it is an act of domination. Anybody who understands Islamism understands that the domination of public spaces is part of the modus operandi. It is done so Islamists can show who is in charge - and to show other Muslims and the wider public that the authorities will bend to their will. There is quite obviously no need to pray here. The decision to do so is symbolic and pointed. It is not welcome. We have freedom of religion in this country, which is why there are mosques. But we are not a Muslim country and this is not welcome. It should be stopped.show more
