The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) on Friday donated relief items to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Lagos State.

NIMASA

Dr Bashir Jamoh, Director-General, NIMASA, while presenting the items, said that the donation was part of the agency’s Corporate Social Responsibility.

Represented by Mrs Olamide Odusanya, Head, Internal Audit, NIMASA, Jamoh said that the items would alleviate the sufferings of the underprivileged, help them to become self- reliant and by so doing, eradicate poverty gradually in the society.

He noted that some of the things donated were items ranging from food to some empowerment equipment, tricycles, educational materials, health items and others.

“It is customary in the agency to donate and provide empowerment items to displaced victims of insurgency across the country and Lagos being our host community, we deemed it fit to extend hands of fellowship and gesture to existing vulnerable people.

“You will agree with me that corporate social responsibility and empowerment have been entrenched to becoming a standard practice and this has been integrated into the agency’s DNA and so the need to invest in communities all over Nigeria.

“Empowerment plays a vital role in building and developing a nation.

“Basic right such as education, nutrition, health are luxury for millions of people across the globe, hence the agency with the support of the director-general has deemed it fit to bridge the gap by assisting,” he said.

Jamoh noted that everyone was expected to play a role, which they had done and that of Lagos State was to ensure equal distribution of the items to the vulnerable in the society

He urged the beneficiaries to act in good faith and ensure appropriate use of the disbursed items.

“We have been to Enugu, Anambra, Kebbi and so many states. This is an ongoing exercise and we will continue until it goes round the 36 states of the federation.

“We are investing in people but we also want to invest in infrastructure to have growth and development. We want to do more.

“The little that we are doing now will go a long way to satisfy the basic needs of people,” he said.

Mr Gboyega Shoyowo, Deputy Chief of Staff to the Lagos State Government while receiving the items, appreciated NIMASA’s efforts on behalf of the Governor of Lagos State.

“I hereby accept all these items that vary from food items to some empowerment equipment, tricycles, educational materials and others for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Lagos state.

“We appreciate the director-general’s efforts in supporting IDPs around the federation and we hereby guarantee that these items will reach the designated people as planned,” Shoyowo said.

He said that all items received had been audited for proper disbursement and this would show accountability on their part.

Mr Babatunde Hunpe, Member, House Committee on Maritime while appreciating NIMASA for the gesture, asked for more from the agency.

According to him, Lagos is a coastal area and NIMASA’s work is centered on the coast and so they should consider Lagos in everything that they do.

“We need more than this but let me first thank you for this so that we will get more in future when we come for it,” 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
