1.0 World Immunization Week 2021
As Nigeria marks World Immunization Week for 2021 celebrated from April 24th – 30th every year, it is important to highlight the use of vaccines in mitigating vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs) and to measure the progress of Nigeria’s journey for self-reliance. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the primary objective of the week is to emphasise the value of vaccines in preventing diseases that were hitherto perceived as life-threatening. This World Immunization Week seeks to highlight the importance of vaccines as a “public good that saves lives and protects health” whilst also allowing development. The theme of 2021 is “Vaccines bring us closer”.

Parliamentary workers issue six-day ultimatum on financial autonomy
Sunday Aborisade, Abuja
The Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria has issued a six-day ultimatum to the National Assembly and the 36 state assemblies to implement a two-year-old Executive Order 10 or face total shutdown of the legislative arm of government across all tiers of governments.
Members of the association from the 36 states of the federation issued the ultimatum when they gathered at the National Assembly complex to register their grievances over the non-implementation of the executive order that denied the state legislatures their financial autonomies.
The workers action led to the immediate closure of the National Assembly main gate by the security operatives for about two hours.
