THE Attorney- General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, revalidate­d his membership of the All Progressiv­e Congress ( APC) yesterday, Tuesday, February 9, 2021. This was contained in a statement signed by the Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations, Office of the Attorney- General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu, and made available to newsmen.

According to the statement, after revalidati­ng his membership, Malami was issued with a new APC membership card at Filin Mariya polling unit, Nasarawa 1, BirninKebb­i Local Government Area, Kebbi State.

While speaking to journalist­s on the exercise, Malami urged party members and those who want to join or rejoin the party to come out en mass to get themselves registered in the ongoing membership revalidati­on exercise across the country.

He said the exercise required collective efforts of all party faithful, with a view to supporting one another to re- strengthen the unity among party members, enhance internal democracy and bring more meaningful developmen­t in the country. Malami said the APC is proud of Kebbi State, as the only state in Northwest Nigeria that in 2019 surmounted voter apathy challenges and increased in number of votes cast from 2015.

According to Gwandu, the APC- led Federal Government has contribute­d immensely and remarkably done well in executing developmen­t projects and programmes across the country and especially in Kebbi State. He said the Federal Government has come out with numerous developmen­t initiative­s in Kebbi State including agricultur­al support interventi­ons, road rehabilita­tion, small and medium scale business support programmes.

With the support of the Federal Government, according to Malami, through rice production, Kebbi State is among the top states that contribute to saving the government N5b worth of rice importatio­n. Malami noted that Kebbi is not only an APC state but has the state governor appointed as Chairman of Progressiv­e Governors’ Forum. He said in view of the developmen­t projects executed in the state by government­s at all levels, Kebbu people are committed to supporting APC and the Federal Government achieve their objectives of bringing more developmen­t in the country.

He said the party leadership in the state would provide necessary support to ensure that members get registered before the end of the exercise.

THE Cross River State Government has perfected plans to set up a COVID- 19 quick response team in the University of Calabar ( UNICAL), as over 45, 000 students and lecturers resume for full academic activities.

This followed calls by the Vice Chancellor of the University of Calabar, Prof. Florence Obi on the state government to deploy a quick response team to offer medical advice, get feedback and monitor compliance with COVID- 19 safety protocols in the institutio­n as the institutio­n resumes.

Obi, who made the call when she visited the Commission­er for Health, Dr. Beta Edu, yesterday, said the need to take pragmatic steps towards preventing the outbreak of the pandemic in the institutio­n was due to the large number of students the institutio­n would have to contend with.

While calling for a more robust partnershi­p with the State Ministry of Health, she said the deployment of a quick response team to the institutio­n would help complement the institutio­n’s ongoing efforts at tackling the pandemic.
