He made the disclosure at the All Progressives Congress (APC) Kebbi South Zonal rally held in Yauri, Yauri Local Government Area of the state.

The minister said: “Before President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration in 2015, Nigeria was spending N1.5 trillion to import rice from Thailand and other countries annually, but the rice revolution introduced by the president put an end to that.

“Today, I am happy to inform you that Nigeria no longer import rice, instead, we export over 800 tonnes of rice annually, off course, this is a great achievement.”

Malami said that Kebbi people had no reason not to vote for APC at all levels, while citing Federal Government appointments to Kebbi indigenes to include; Executive Director, Sokoto River Basin, Managing Director, HYPPADEC, EFCC Boss and Managing Director, Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), among others.

He listed projects executed by the APC administration in the state to include; road construction from Sokoto to Kontagora, anchor borrower’s programme, social welfare scheme, youth empowerment and survival funds, among others.

The minister appealed to the people of Kebbi to vote for APC, urging, ”they should have trust in all the candidates of the party at all levels to enjoy more dividends of democracy in their respective areas.”

Gov. Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi appreciated the former governor of the state, Alhaji Sa’idu Dakingari for accepting to be the Director-General of the state campaign council.

This was due to what he described as fairness during the APC primaries at both state and national levels.

He reminded the people of Kebbi of the need to elect APC at all levels in view of various projects executed, listing them to include; Yauri-Gidan-Zurmi road, Koko-Dabai road as well as electricity project from Yauri to Zuru, among others.

Bagudu, however, acknowledged that there were security challenges bedeviling some areas, adding, ”yet, government has been doing its best to redress the ugly trend.”

In his speech, Dakingari said he rescinded his decision not to participate in politics in 2022 because of the APC gubernatorial candidate in the state.

He added: ”It was also due to the way APC conducted its primaries fairly and transparently at both state and national levels.

“In the case of Tinubu, northerners took an undertaking in 2015 and as Muslims, it is binding on us to fulfill such promise, this is a marriage between the Southwest and the North. Politics is about taking a decisive decision.”

The APC gubernatorial flag bearer, Dr Nasiru Idris promised to consolidate on legacies to be left behind by Bagudu in the areas of security, education, water supply and youths empowerment, among others.

While describing APC as a party to beat in Kebbi, the gubernatorial candidate urged the electorate to elect APC at all levels

Earlier, the Kebbi APC Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Kana-Zuru urged the electorate to elect APC in all positions to sustain the provision of the dividends of democracy.

He said that Bagudu’s administration had touched the lives of people in all segments, adding, ”hence, there is the need for people to reciprocate the gesture by voting for the party’s candidates at all levels.”

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
