In its efforts to sustain the promotion of universal and quality health care for the residents of the state, the Lagos State Government on Thursday launched the ‘Ilera Eko’ Divisional Office at the General Hospital, Ikorodu.

Speaking during the launching, the Board Chairman, Lagos State Health Management Agency (LASHMA), Dr. Adetokunbo Alakija, listed the benefits of the scheme to include outpatient care for common ailments and conditions such as malaria, management of uncomplicated chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and asthma.

Other benefits, the chairman said, include treatment of HIV and tuberculosis, minor surgeries such as incision drainage, herniorraphy, appendectomy, pharmaceutical care, health promotion and diseases prevention.

The chairman, who was represented by one of the Agency’s Board member, Dr Tunji Akintunde, disclosed that subscribers to the scheme are able to receive treatment at a registered hospital without payment as long as it covers the scope of the scheme subscribed to.

Alakija further stressed that subscribers also enjoy free consultation with the doctor as well as free drug prescription and dosage. According to him, there are different packages, which include family and individual plans.

In his words, “The annual payment of N40, 000 covers a family of six, which automatically grants them access to a full year of uninterrupted access to hospitals registered to the family. An individual can also enjoy the same benefits with N8, 500 annually, at any hospital of their choice, under the State Health scheme.”

He, however, noted that children that are 18 years and above would have to register under the individual plan.
In her remark, General Manager, LASHMA, Dr. Emmanuelle Zamba, urged residents of Ikorodu to support the programme and take full advantage of the scheme that is open to all.

The General Manager said that a resident can register through any of the LASHMA designated enrollment points spread across the State or via LASHMA  website – lashma.com or www.lashma.lagosstate.gov.ng having paid the premium in any of the Bank in the State.

Dr. Zamba commended the efforts of the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration for its determination towards ensuring accessible and affordable health care for Lagosians.

“Our amiable Governor has shown true commitment to the well-being of the citizenry.  Therefore, I urge residents of Ikorodu to make good use of the opportunity to embrace the scheme and enjoy quality health care treatments in their vicinity”. She noted.

Romelu Lukaku returned to Chelsea on Thursday for a reported club record fee of £97 million ($135 million) from Inter Milan, seven years after his first spell at Stamford Bridge came to an end.

The Belgian striker was instrumental in securing Inter’s first Serie A title for 11 years last season, but the Italian giants financial problems forced them into selling their prized asset to the Premier League side.

“I’m happy and blessed to be back at this wonderful club,” said Lukaku, who has signed a five-year contract. “It’s been a long journey for me: I came here as a kid who had a lot to learn, now I’m coming back with a lot of experience and more mature.

The way the club is going fits my ambitions perfectly at 28 and just coming off winning Serie A. I think this opportunity comes at the right time and hopefully we can have a lot of success together.”

Lukaku scored 64 goals in two seasons in Italy to quickly become a hero at the San Siro.
But the 28-year-old also has a proven record in the Premier League, scoring 113 goals during spells with Manchester United, Everton and West Brom.

The only blot on Lukaku’s career so far was his first spell at Chelsea as he failed to score in 15 appearances.

The Biden administration has increased the amount of government-provided food assistance distributed to approximately one in eight Americans each month.

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) on Monday announced an increase of over 25% for funds used to buy food.

The increased budget will be available starting in October to the 42 million people who receive food stamps – known formally as Snap benefits.

The average benefit will increase by about $36 (£26) per person, per month.

Americans enrolled in the programme will see their monthly pre-pandemic allowance rise from $121 to about $157.

In 2018, Congress ordered the USDA to review the Thrifty Food Plan, a diet plan created in 1962 which outlines nutritional needs for Americans and what budget is necessary to achieve them.

The update is the largest permanent funding boost in the programme’s history.

The agency’s newest revisions to the plan include an increase in calories “to reflect the latest data and support an active lifestyle,” the USDA said. They also reflect current food prices and eating trends.

Experts say the budget has not been enough for Americans to choose healthier foods, instead choosing salty and sugary options. One study has found that 10% of the money is spent on sugary drinks alone – about three times the amount spent on milk.

The newest budget calls for Americans to eat more fish “and red and orange vegetables”, the USDA said.

The funding boost comes amid an effort by President Joe Biden to bolster the country’s social safety net.

Americans must be below certain income limits in order to be eligible for the programme – for a four-person household, their net monthly income can’t be above $2,184.

The Federal Government has released a request for qualification for the concession of four international airport terminals and other related services.

The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Aviation, Mr. Hassan Musa, made this announcement in a statement issued to newsmen in Lagos on Monday by the Director, Public Affairs of the ministry, Mr. James Odaudu.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the four major commercial airports are Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja; Murtala Muhammed Internatıonal Aırport, Lagos; Malam Amınu Kano Internatıonal Aırport, Kano and Port Harcourt Internatıonal Aırport.

Musa said that the ministry released the request in compliance with the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission and National Policy on Public-Private Partnership (N4P).

He said the airports’ surrounding communities were intended to develop into efficient, profitable, self-sustaining, commercial hubs, which would create more jobs and develop local industries through a Public-Private Partnership arrangement.

“The Federal Government through the Ministry of Aviation is inviting bids from reputable airport developers/operators/financiers/consortia for pre-qualification for the concession of selected airports terminals under a Public-Private Partnership arrangement.

“The airport’s terminal concession is one of the critical projects under the sector roadmap of the FGN and fits well within the scope of the ministry’s strategic plan for the sector.
