The right to food
in a changing world through modern
biotechnology and the role of biosafety
Biotechnology
refers to any technique that uses living organisms ranging from virus,
bacteria, plants and animals or parts of the organisms to derive other
products
for the benefit of mankind. It is not a new technique. Traditional
biotechnology such as the use of yeast to make bread or wine has been
applied
for thousands of years. Since the late 19th century, knowledge of the
principle
of hereditary gave farmers new tools for breeding crops and animals.
They
selected individual organisms with beneficial characteristics and
developed
hybrids.

REDUCTION
OF CHILD MORTALITY: Perspectives on Nigeria
The
need to
reduce child mortality globally, especially in Nigeria and the rest of
the
Sub-Saharan Africa has necessitated growing discourse in various
quarters.
Records indicate that child mortality rates are still unacceptably high
in many
African countries. In spite of global efforts and local measures
adopted so
far, there are still challenges that persist. This should therefore
form the
focus of next action-plan.
Child
mortality refers to the death of infants
and children under the age of five (under-five mortality-U5MR).
Statistics show
that about 29,000 children die per day (approximately 11,000,000
deaths/year). read

Playing politics with the
girl
child: Undercurrents of the Chibok Girls Affair
On
the 15th
of April, 2014, a day after a deadly bomb by the Boko Haram terrorist
ripped
through Nyanya, a suburb of the Federal Capital Territory, killing
hundreds and
injuring more than 500 people, Nigeria awoke to the shocking news of
the kidnap
of girls from a secondary school in Chibok, a town in the troubled
Bornu State.
The
news
from the beginning was rife with conflicting reports with the numbers
of
abducted girls gradually rising from initial 106 to about 236. More
controversy
trailed the incident as the Defence Headquarters, the government of
Bornu, and
the principal of the secondary school were found to be given out
conflicting
reports of the number of abducted and rescued students. . .read
