There are a lot of leakages we need to block, it is not about generating revenue, we have recovered over a billion from civil servant sitting in an account last week”, he said.
He however applauded the Senate Committee of Finance on investigations being carried out on internally generated revenues of MDAs and the payment of 1% Stamp Duty by contractors on all contracts awarded by MDAs between2014-2020.

The Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria’s building, located opposite Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH Idiaraba, Lagos, reveals quite an amazing therapeutic ingredient the art possesses.
vanguard Right from the reception, you are welcome with very colourful assorted visual art expressions displaying diverse subjects and messages. The works which range from beautiful landscapes, human forms, objects, etc., make you feel at ease immediately and gradually, get you drawn towards each piece thereby, calming earlier uneasy feelings about hospital environment.
That’s the power of art! It’s even more exciting to know that the works were produced by children who were encouraged to paint away their pain while in hospital; an exercise which became quite remedial for them.
