Steve Bruce Lashes Out At Wenger’s Critics

Hull City boss, Steve Bruce has jumped to the defence of Arsene Wenger, who has faced criticism for his team’s poor form. Arsenal are winless in their last five games, dashing their chances of winning the EPL or even the UCL. And Bruce, who will face Arsenal on Tuesday in the replay of their FA cup fifth round clash, believes Wenger does not get enough credit for his work at Emirates and slammed those calling for him to be sacked. “They have had a bit of criticism which I find ridiculous but then again it’s part and parcel as a football manager at the moment,” he said. “How anybody can criticise him is beyond me with what he’s achieved and what he’s done. “From inside the game you’re not going to hear people criticise Arsene Wenger because when you are in management as long as he’s done and what he’s been able to get at Arsenal then who is anybody to criticise him? “I find that really appalling. He’s built a fantastic squad – he’s helped finance it, he’s had to sell players. He’s never been able to really compete at the top level like anybody else has at a top club yet has kept them in the top four for 17 or 18 years. “For me you only get one thing, which is respect. He deserves a bit more than what he gets dished out considering what he’s achieved. “It’s very difficult to win a title. Manchester United went 20-odd years before they won 10 of them. With the emergence of Chelsea and Manchester City over the last decade then it is very, very difficult – it doesn’t just come as easy than what it used to.”

NAFDACEx-DG hands over to Director of Administration

 He said that with limited resources, the agency had recorded tremendous achievements in terms of infrastructural development, capacity building of both staff and other critical stakeholders.

The immediate past Director-General, National Agency for Food and Drug Administration Control (NAFDAC), has handed over the affairs of the agency to the Director of Administration and Human Resources, Mrs Yetunde Oni.

This is contained in a statement issued by the Director of Special Duties, Dr Abubakar Jimoh, on Friday in Abuja.
It quoted Orhii as saying he left behind a robust institution that will outlast any successor.

He said that with limited resources, the agency had recorded tremendous achievements in terms of infrastructural development, capacity building of both staff and other critical stakeholders.

"As well the use of cutting edge technologies that has positioned the agency as a global leader in the fight against counterfeit regulated products,’’ it said.

Orhii enjoined the staff to support and cooperate with the incoming Director-General to move the agency to the next level.

The statement also said that Oni praised the passion and relentless efforts of Orhii.

She said that Orhii worked meritoriously in repositioning the agency as a leading light in the fight against counterfeit and regulated products globally. She promised to build on the strategies left behind by Orhii to deliver on the mandate of the agency.

Oni called for the support and cooperation of staff, and challenged them to work tirelessly to sustain the legacies left behind by Orhii to move the agency to greater heights.

Also speaking, former Director of Narcotics and Controlled Substances in the agency, Mr Hashim Yusufu, noted that NAFDAC under Orhii had reduced the prevalence of counterfeit antimalarial medicines from 40 per cent in 2009 to three per cent in 2015.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Orhii assumed office in 2009, until his disengagement on Feb. 15 after serving out seven years.

 

Standard Organisation of Nigeria Former DG says substandard products reduced

Standard Organisation of NigeriaFormer DG says substandard products reduced

 

Odumodu added that the organisation had seized and destroyed more than N10 billion worth of counterfeit products and had enforced compliance to international best practice.

Dr Joseph Odumodu, former Director General, Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), said substandard products in the country had reduced from 85 per cent to 30 per cent in five years.

Odumodu, who was appointed director-general of SON in 2011, said this in Abuja when he handed over the mantle of leadership of the organisation to a new acting director general.

He said the organisation got international accreditation for Food Technology Laboratories at Lekki in Lagos during his tenure.

Odumodu added that SON’s Food and Technology Laboratories could now help to reduce the rejection of the nation’s products, especially agro-allied commodities at the global export market.

According to him, the organisation has attracted more investments by sanitising the cables sub sector, which hitherto caused high rate inferno in buildings.

He said ``all over the world, we know that Nigeria's cable is the best.''

Odumodu added that the organisation had seized and destroyed more than N10 billion worth of counterfeit products and had enforced compliance to international best practice.

He noted that ``chasing containers, raiding warehouses and companies to look for substandard products expose us to dangers and threats to personal safety and property but we continued to do that in order to maintain standard.''

He, therefore, advised the Federal Government to address the market glut in the steel sector by making Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to patronise locally-produced iron bars which were now of high quality.

He also advised staff of the organisation to be committed toward enforcing standard in goods and services, stressing that ``we have developed a process that will ultimately lead to certification of all government agencies and processes.

"This process will ensure that government processes become sustainable and predictable in terms of cost, timing of service delivery and consumer-focus.''

The former director general, who advised the organisation to focus on working with the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in order to certify their products, also urged the Federal Government to return SON to the ports, saying SON was in a better position to verify imports into the country.

In his speech, Mr Paul Angya, the new acting Director-General, who is the Director of Corporate Services of SON, said Odumodu had given them a roadmap to follow.

Angya said that the staff of the organisation would ensure that they continue with what the former director general started and preserve his achievements.

"We both have public and private orientation because the former director general came from the private sector and we learnt a lot from him,’’ he added.

 

In AbujaFCTA to tackle proliferation of sub-standard private schools

 Bello said that proprietors of such schools were exploiting the unfettered influx of people into the territory, which he described as `unacceptable.’

The FCT administration is poised to tackle the proliferation of sub-standard private schools in the territory by ensuring they maintain acceptable minimum standard, FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Bello has said.

Bello made the statement on Thursday in Abuja at the inauguration of the 2015/2016 Annual School Census at Government Secondary School (GSS), Area 10, Garki.

He said that if such schools were left the way they are, their activities would be counter productive to the territory’s educational system.

He said that proprietors of such schools were exploiting the unfettered influx of people into the territory, which he described as `unacceptable.’

The minister noted that though the proliferation of sub-standard private schools remains a challenge, his administration would address it with seriousness.

"Sub-standard private schools that take advantage of the unfettered influx of people into the territory remain a challenge.

"But the current administration will redress the challenge to ensure the provision of quality education for our children,” he said.

Bello commended the principal, teachers and students of GSS Garki for maintaining high standard of environmental sanitation and urged other public institutions in the territory to emulate the school.

Also speaking, the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, said that his ministry had concluded arrangement to host the NEMIS software on the Internet for real-time online data entry and processing.

"This is in order to facilitate the collection and collation of education data in Nigeria.

"It will also ensure uniformity in data reporting so that end-users will have timely reports for decision-making and research,’’ he said.
