PRESS RELEASE June 25, 2021 for Immediate Release U.S. Embassy
United States Diplomatic Mission to Nigeria, Public Affairs Section Plot 1075, Diplomatic Drive, Central Business District, Abuja Telephone: 09-461-4000. Website at http://nigeria.usembassy.gov PRESS RELEASE June 25, 2021 For Immediate Release U.S. Embassy Abuja Partners Channels Academy to Train Conflict Reporters The U.S. Embassy Abuja, in partnership with Channels Academy, has trained over 150 journalists on Conflict Reporting and Peace Journalism. In her opening remarks, the U.S. Embassy Spokesperson/Press Attaché Jeanne Clark noted that the United States recognized that security challenges exist in many forms throughout the country, and that journalists are confronted with responsibility to prioritize physical safety in addition to meeting standards of objectivity and integrity in conflict. She urged the journalists to share their experiences throughout the course of the three-day seminar and encouraged participants to identify new ways to address these security challenges. The trainer Professor Steven Youngblood from the U.S. Center for Global Peace Journalism – Park University defined and presented principles for peace journalism in conflict reporting. He cautioned journalists to refrain from what he termed war journalism. He said, "war journalism is a pattern of media coverage that includes overvaluing violent, reactive responses to conflict while undervaluing non-violent, developmental responses.” The Provost of Channels Academy, Mr Kingsley Uranta, showed appreciation for the continuous partnership with the U.S. Embassy and for bringing such training opportunities to Nigerian journalists. He also called on conflict reporters to be peace ambassadors. The training took place virtually via Zoom on June 22 – 24, 2021. Journalists converged in American Spaces in Abuja, Kano, Bauchi Sokoto, Maiduguri, Awka, and Ibadan. -
Success in Carrying out the Objects for Which It Is Founded. the PROBLEM
EDITORIAL 123 the term "specific" may be applied. Mani claims to this title have been put forward in the past 'but further experience has not confirmed these assertions. '1 he new form of treatment with diphtheria Formol-Toxoid recounted in the paper by Collier and McKean is descnb ed modestly and without making any ambitious claims. Fallacies are common in estimating the value of any treatment in leprosy. Signs of clinicaI improvement are particularly unreliable, and even clearing up of positive bacteriological findings may be dependent on seasonal and other temporary causes. Time must therefore be given to assess these various factors before judgment is passed. Already arrangements are being made in several different centres throughout the world to test out this treatment. We trust that the e�perience of others will confirm the results of the workers in Siam. Of almost equal interest are the animal inoculation experiments described in another paper. The fact that leprosy, unlike tuber culosis, is confined to the human race has limited our knowledge and handicapped our attempts at treatment and control. If these therapeutic and experimental results are substantiated they may have far-reaching results not only in leprosy but also possibly in other diseases. Reference is made on page 158 to the foundation of the Belgian counterpart of B.E.L.R.A., the Father Damien FowndaNon for the Campaign against LeprrosYi. Leprosy is an important disease in the Belgian Congo aI).d we wish out sister society all . success in carrying out the objects for which it is founded.

A Study of Awka Metropolis Anambra State, Nigeria
International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 7, No. 5; May 2016 Urban Poverty Incidence in Nigeria: A Study of Awka Metropolis Anambra State, Nigeria Mbah, Stella I., Ph.D Department of Business Administration Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Igbariam, Anambra State Nigeria Mgbemena, Gabriel C. Department of Business Administration Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Igbariam, Anambra State Nigeria Ejike, Daniel C. Department of Business Administration Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Igbariam, Anambra State Nigeria Abstract This study examined poverty situation in Awka metropolis of Anambra State, Nigeria, using the P-alpha class of poverty measure. To achieve this objective, a structured questionnaire was administered to 399 heads of households selected from mixed socio-economic backgrounds. The study revealed that 49 percent of the respondents were considered to be poor, with 0.17 poverty gap index and a 0.03 severity of poverty index. However, the indicators were considered to be modest when compared with the national rates. The causes of poverty in Awka metropolis include: lack or inadequate supply of some identified basic necessities of life such as shelter, potable water, and sanitation, basic healthcare services, electricity and educational services. As a result of these inadequacies, there are psychological distress, increase in destitution, child labour, violent crime, and prostitution. It was therefore recommended among others that government should step up public investment in urban infrastructure, provision of credit facilities, involvement of the people in development decision that affects their lives or participatory budgetary process and most especially, good governance at the municipal level with accountability and transparency to stamp out corrupt tendencies which has inhibited past developmental efforts of the government. -
