A registered nurse in Kwara State has petitioned the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), alleging sustained harassment, intimidation, and physical assault by senior health officers in Oke Ero Local Government.

According to the petition, the Officer in Charge of the facility, Mrs. Ayinde Risikat, a Community Health Extension Worker (CHEW), and the Head of Department of Health, Mrs. Helen Bosede Olawuyi, allegedly conspired against her out of “envy and jealousy.”

Mojisola narrated that on September 9, 2025, she was ordered to kneel in her uniform for two hours inside the HOD’s office, before being slapped.

The following day, she was allegedly assaulted again in the office of the Local Government Chairman.

A query with 11 charges was also issued against her, along with a transfer letter to a remote facility she described as unsafe due to security concerns.

She further alleged repeated verbal abuse during immunisation exercises, claiming the OIC insulted and cursed her in front of patients, describing her as “lazy and proud.”

The petition also raised concerns over poor sanitary practices at the facility, including the reuse of syringes after rinsing with water and the absence of sterilisation equipment such as an autoclave.

Mojisola accused the health officers of undermining her role as a nurse, saying she was forced to perform duties outside her professional scope, including sweeping, despite the presence of an attendant.

The statement read, “I, Rufus Favour Mojisola, am writing to bring to your urgent attention the harrowing and traumatic experiences I endured at my place of work in Oke Ero Local Government where I was posted to Ekan Primary Health Center. I am the only Registered Nurse amidst the staff. The Officer in Charge (OIC), Ayinde Risikat, is a Community Health Extension Worker (CHEW). I serve as both the Family Planning provider and Immunization provider.

“The OIC, driven by cruel jealousy and envy, conspired against me with the Head of Department (HOD) of Health, Helen Bosede Olawuyi, who is also a CHEW. I desire it to be documented that a Community Health Officer, Kardiri Fehintola CHO, was posted together with me to the facility but she was transferred to Offa local Government since April and she was not replaced till date now. I was carrying the overwhelming loads of the hospital both Routine Immunization and Family Planning. I am the only one living in the Village where that facility is located amidst staff.

“On Tuesday, 9th September 2025, I was cruelly asked to kneel down on uniform for 2 hours in the HOD’s office to plead with my OIC. The HOD, Helen Bosede Olawuyi, brutally slapped me in her office. On Wednesday, 10th September 2025, the HOD, Helen Bosede Olawuyi, slapped me again in the Chairman’s office. A query letter was issued on Wednesday, 10th September 2025 at Oke Ero HOD Health’s office with 11 questions that I believe are untrue and part of the harassment. I was also issued a transfer letter to a remote location where security concerns due to kidnappers are a significant issue.

“On Tuesdays, our fixed immunisation days (Tuesday 8th April, 2025, Tuesday 6th May, 2025, Tuesday 17th June, 2025, Tuesday 8th July, 2025), during immunization in the reception, the OIC used abusive words on me in front of patients. The OIC’s complaint against me was that I am “very lazy and proud.” My OIC was raining curses and abusive words (“you are mad, you cannot be useful to your parents”) on me in the presence of patients the said dates and days mentioned above. She told me that since I have been vaccinating the children, none came back with Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI), but she will ensure that I make mistakes that will lead to amputating the children’s leg, and by then I will know that I’m a Nurse and not a CHEW.”

According to her, “The OIC wears nylon gloves to take delivery. The facility did not have an autoclave, steriliser, or dressing equipment. They store used syringes, rinse them with water, and reuse them for different patients. These were areas I tried to correct, and the OIC said I am proud.

“The HOD told me that there’s no room for Nurses in Local Government; if I cannot sweep the Clinic, whereas they have an attendant. After vaccination, I write the immunization Registers, Tally, Summary, and immunization cards, despite the presence of a record officer, Mrs. Adebayo Modupe Idowu, who comes to work by 12pm and leaves by 2pm.

“I seek urgent intervention and assistance from the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), Kwara State, to address this grave injustice. I believe I have been cruelly cheated and subjected to physical assault due to envy and jealousy from the CHEWs and their Chairman.

League of Imams and Alfas in Yoruba says Ramadan begins February 18

Naijacoaded

The League of Imams and Alfas in Yorubaland has officially announced that the holy month of Ramadan 1447 AH will begin on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, marking the start of the annual period of fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection for Muslims across Southwest Nigeria.

In a communique released following a meeting in Bodija, Ibadan, on Thursday, February 5, 2026, the Grand Mufti of Yorubaland, Sheikh AbdulRasaq AbdulAzeez Ishola, declared the decision based on precise astronomical calculations and longstanding international Islamic resolutions on unifying the Hijri calendar.

The statement highlighted that the astronomical conjunction (new moon) for Ramadan will occur at 12:01 PM UTC on Tuesday, February 17, 2026—corresponding to 1:01 PM local Nigerian time—on the 29th of Sha’ban 1447 AH. This timing makes sighting the crescent moon impossible on the evening of February 17, confirming Wednesday, February 18, as the first day of fasting.

The announcement draws on key historical precedents, including resolutions from the Unified Hijri Calendar Committee session in Istanbul (November 27-30, 1978), the International Fiqh Council, scholarly symposia in Paris (2012), and the major International Conference on the Unification of the Hijri Calendar in Istanbul (2016), attended by representatives from over 90 countries.

Emphasising unity, the communique quoted the Qur’an (3:103): “And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided.” It urged Muslims to strengthen brotherhood, perfect their fasting, prayers, charity, and good deeds, and seek Allah’s acceptance of their worship during the blessed month.

The declaration aligns with several Nigerian media reports and astronomical expectations for the region, where Ramadan 2026 is widely anticipated to commence on February 18 (with Tarawih prayers potentially beginning the evening before). While national moon-sighting efforts led by the Sultan of Sokoto continue, the League’s methodology—combining science and established fiqh principles—provides clarity for Yoruba Muslim communities in states like Oyo, Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Ondo, and Ekiti.

As the current date stands on February 6, 2026, preparations are intensifying: markets are stocking dates, prayer mats, and provisions; mosques are scheduling increased Taraweeh recitations; and families are renewing intentions for a month of mercy, forgiveness, and community support.

The League called on all Muslims to hold fast to faith and unity, praying that Allah makes this Ramadan a source of immense blessings. Insha Allah, the fast begins in just 12 days.

Lagos to enforce mandatory waste sorting at source

In a bold move to revolutionize waste management and harness the economic potential hidden in trash, the Lagos State Government has announced plans to make waste sorting at source compulsory for all residents and businesses.

This development was revealed by Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), during his appearance on “The Conversation,” a popular programme aired on Lagos Television (LTV) on Tuesday.

Dr. Gbadegesin emphasized that the initiative aligns with international best practices and will be reinforced by an ongoing review of the state’s legal framework. This review aims to establish robust regulations mandating the separation of waste right at the point of generation, transforming how Lagosians handle their refuse.

“No longer will waste be seen merely as a burden to dispose of; instead, it will be viewed as a valuable economic resource,” Dr. Gbadegesin stated. He highlighted the state’s commitment to advancing its waste-to-wealth agenda, with a strong focus on recycling and material recovery to drive a more efficient and sustainable system.

The policy shift supports Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s vision of moving away from reliance on landfills towards a model centered on recovery and recycling. This is expected to ease the strain on existing landfills, foster circular economy principles, and attract private investments into recycling facilities across the state.

To bolster service delivery, the government is exploring ways to aid Private Sector Participation (PSP) operators, including facilitating access to new compactor trucks. Recognizing the high capital demands of waste collection, this support is crucial for enhancing operational efficiency.

On the flip side, Dr. Gbadegesin warned of strict accountability measures. He disclosed that 22 underperforming PSP operators face sanctions after multiple warnings and performance evaluations. This comes on the heels of last year’s action where 27 operators were sacked for failing to meet standards.

As earlier reported by NaijaChoice News, LAWMA has been pushing for better waste practices, including calls for residents to avoid littering and adopt disciplined habits to keep Lagos clean. Dr. Gbadegesin reiterated that the success of this mandatory sorting hinges on effective regulations, upgraded infrastructure, active private sector involvement, and, most importantly, responsible behavior from citizens.

“Waste sorting at source is the cornerstone of building a cleaner, healthier, and more resilient Lagos,” he added, urging Lagosians to embrace the change for the greater good.

Environmental experts have lauded the move, noting that proper waste segregation could significantly reduce environmental pollution, create jobs in the recycling sector, and contribute to Nigeria’s broader sustainability goals. With Lagos generating over 13,000 tons of waste daily, this policy could set a precedent for other states in the federation.

The Lagos State Government, through hashtags like #AGreaterLagosRising, continues to promote initiatives that enhance urban living and economic growth.
