Neuropsychiatric Hospitals to Be Renamed
The Minister of State for Health, Dr. Tunji Alausa, announced that the Federal Government is preparing an executive order to rename all Federal Neuropsychiatric facilities as specialty hospitals. Alausa shared this update on his X handle on Thursday, explaining that the renaming aims to eliminate the stigma often associated with psychiatric hospitals, ensuring that Nigerians receive care without judgment.
He wrote, “The Federal Government is working on an executive order to rename all FNPH facilities as Specialty Hospitals to reduce the stigma associated with psychiatric care.” Alausa also highlighted his efforts to understand the capacities and infrastructure of Federal Tertiary Hospitals, noting the impressive work at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital in Kaduna, where he recently commissioned new facilities as part of the government’s agenda to improve healthcare governance.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
