As part of measures to ease the rising cost of commodities in the country, a N1.5 billion interest-free revolving loan scheme has been instituted for all traders in Akwa Ibom State.

Under the scheme, N500 million was earmarked for traders in each of the three senatorial districts of the state.

Eno announced the appointment of three senior special assistants and 10 special assistants to the governor on trader matters to cover the three senatorial districts and 10 federal constituencies of the state, in that order. Prominent health professionals in Nigeria have made a case for holistic tackling of drug misuse, saying there is a need for a multidimensional approach to creating a drug-free society.

The Oyo State Government, yesterday, reiterated that the ban on the collection of illegal levies in public schools was still in force, warning that it would deal with anyone contravening the ban.
