By FRANCIS TEMIONU The rate at which the Nigerian elite go for medical treatment abroad has become contentious. To the ordinary man, it is an ostentatious display of wealth. But to those who can afford it, it is for efficiency and security. In a society where virtually all hands are soiled with corruption, and where people can also do anything for money, you don’t take human beings for granted when it comes to health and security matters.   There have been reported cases of cotton wool or medical scissors being carelessly forgotten in patients’ stomachs after surgical operations. We also have cases of hired killers in medical overalls and masks in some hospitals. If a president could therefore take the precaution of going all the way abroad to get treated for radiculopathy for the sake of security and efficiency, will it not be suicidal for the likes of Asiwaju Bola Amed Tinubu to handle their health and security matters with levity? Does medical treatment abroad s...

It is a burden imposed on me right from my late...

Unarguably, Hon Sanni Ganiyu Babatunde Okanlawon, is clearly the most qualified, credible, experienced, innovative, resourceful, value adder, active and intelligent debater, result oriented lobbyist, profound oversight function worker, and fantastic high-flying lawmaker, psychologically and mentally prepared to continue to give effective and responsive representation to the good people of Kosofe Constituency 1 at the assembly come 2023.

He has sponsored two bills into law which is unpre...
