The Rotary club of Abuja Wuse Central is planning to expend N18.4 million on intervention projects in the federal capital city, Abuja.
Apart from infrastructure to be built the humanitarian club also planned to embark on tree planting and vaccination of residents of the city for the 2023/24 year.

“We would be looking into peace and conflict resolution because we all know that with peace in the society, things would be better so we would be looking at catching them young by speaking to children in secondary schools and get involved in peer mediation and then we would be looking at mental health and girl child education, these are areas we would be working on.
“We would also be renovating a PHC in Jahi, we would remodel their vaccination centre because since the Covid, vaccination is done in more spacious areas where its not crowded, we would be providing them with a model pharmacy and provide solar energy, all of these would be done within a year. The theme for this year is creating hope in the world so we intend to create hope where their is hopelessness, especially in our rural areas.”
Chairman of the investiture Committee and President Elect, 2024-2025 year, Dr. Tomola Emaleku said Rotary is a Humanitarian club that touches the lives of the poor, we go into the interiors to see what we can do to improve the lives of people. Rotary club of Wuse Central has been in existence for over 13 years and touched the lives of so many people.
He added, “We have gone to communities and given them schools, health centers, water. Last year we built a borehole and maternity center in Dakwa District and for this 2023, our star project is the building and renovation of a maternity centre, we already built it and bought a grnerating set for them and now we would sink a borehole for them.”

IBUAM: A New Chapter in University Education, Changing the Phase of the Aviation Industry
By: Balami Lazarus
The quest and search for knowledge by men is an unending process, a continuous tense as long as humans live here on the mother planet. Therefore, the quest and thirst for knowledge is like mwala in the Bura dialect, which simply means to dig continuously.
For some decades Nigerian educational space has experienced growth and progress in her university system. The emergence of universities to cater to the educational needs of the citizens is clear evidence that there are positive changes in the system. It has also brought improvements and innovations, walking like a giant with nobility robes in the gown of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom provided by the ivory tower.
Isaac Balami University of Aeronautic Management (IBUAM) is one university that was established recently in the bustling Centre of Excellence, Lagos. Registered and licensed by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
The aviation sector, I have observed, is what many lack understanding of. For some, it starts and ends with airports, aircraft, and pilots. But for Isaac David Balami, it begins with aeronautic and management knowledge provided by his university.
Isaac Balami University of Aeronautic Management (IBUAM) is the first of its kind in the aviation industry/educational landscape of our nation. IBUAM is beginning to change and impart on the aviation industry through academic courses offered at the university.
IBUAM disciplines are in aeronautics and management as its academic training. Its objective, therefore, is to train students in aeronautics, engineering, and aviation management and techniques. To further equip students with “skills in aviation operations and airline management.”
Some courses at IBUAM are aerospace engineering, mechatronics engineering, and aviation operations/airline management, among others.
Isaac David Balami is an aeronautic engineer, aviation expert, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. Isaac has also distinguished himself in union leadership of the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE).

The bandits were overpowered and fled into the bush, abandoning their mission. All six victims, Rabi Hamisu, Safare Musa, Abubakar Samaila, Shehu Umar, Sara’u Yahaya, and Ibrahim Babangida, were rescued unharmed and safely returned to their homes.
Intensive patrols continue in the area, while efforts to apprehend the fleeing suspects are ongoing.
