The governor, while informing Wambai his desire to visit the Island to see things for himself, said that he had on several occasion discussed the issue of the island with the president and other relevant authorities on the need to make the people feel the presence of government in the area.

“I have discussed with Mr. President the condition of the people on the island when he came here to commission some of our projects. I have also discussed with the National Security Adviser and other relevant stakeholders on the need for Nigeria to make a strong presence in the island especially with the activities of our neighbouring country.

“Though the island can only be accessed through the water, I will visit the Island very soon to see things for myself and I would like you to make the trip with me”, Abiodun told the Naval Chief.

He, however, reiterated his request for the setting up of a Naval Base at the Olokola seaport, adding that the Nigerian Air force and the Customs Service have indicated interest to establish their presence at the state’s Cargo Airport, which according to him is undergoing construction with the first phase ready for commissioning on the second quarter of this year.

“Very soon, we will be announcing the commencement of our sea port, to that extent, you will be receiving a letter requesting for a full Naval Base in Ogun State and we will do everything to support the establishment of that base. Because if we are creating a port, it is also important for us to ensure that we have significant naval presence,” he noted

He explained that Ogun being the industrial hub of the country and the closest to Lagos, the nation’s economic capital, the state is poised to face security challenges.

He praised the inter-agency cooperation and collaboration with his administration which he said had engendered peace and security.

Earlier, Admiral Wambai said apart from assessing the condition of the Navy Secondary School in Abeokuta, his visit was to also look at ways security could be improved, taking into consideration recent happenings in the country.

The Flag Officer Commanding who had earlier inaugurated the observation post and embarked on familiarization tour of the school, disclosed that the visit was his first since he assumed duty

“Nigerian Navy Secondary School Abeokuta has been very wonderful; it has produced a lot of talents for Nigeria and produced excellent results. We are here to make sure that the standard which they are known for is maintained or even taken to the next level.

“The school so far is doing very well, it has been able to leave up to its billing, the infrastructure I have seen can be compared to most other secondary schools, even better than some and we will continue to do the best we can. The Navy as it were, will continue to put in its utmost best to make sure that whatever school it has, will continue to maintain very high standard both in character and learning,” he said.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
