Reps Commend INTELS, Lampoon Others.

Visiting members of the House of Representatives committee on privatization and commercialization have commended Integrated Logistics Services (INTELS) for excellent service delivery in its areas of operation and for adding value to the Onne terminals.
The committee which was led in the visit to Port Harcourt and Onne ports by its chairman Hon. Njidda Ahmed Gella had prior to touring INTELS facilities at Onne ports visited Port Harcourt port where it scored another terminal operator; BUA low in the operations of its concessioned terminal and threatened that failure to improve, the terminal will be short down.
On arriving at the INTELS terminal Onne, the committee and its members were shown a brand new 750 tons crane which had just been acquired  by the company and other developmental projects. The 750 tons handler is said to be the only one of its type in the whole of Africa.
The committee was also shown the recently concluded water project by the company that is capable of taking up to 6,300 cubic meter of water at a time. The company reportedly expended a whopping US$ 6.3 million on the hi tech equipment
Apparently overwhelmed by the facilities that the committee saw, its chairman rained commendations on INTELS management for the giant strides taken in developing the terminal and for adding value to its operations..
The committee had earlier visited the berths A and B at Port Harcourt being operated by PTOL and BUA respectively and the chairman did not hide his displeasure at the way the terminal are being run and the inability of the concessionaires to improve the terminal.
Other facilities which the committee visited included the Brawal terminal and Endorama; both in Onne port where the chairman companied about the level of insecurity.
At Endorama complex, the committee declared its displeasure over the conversion of an office structure into residential quarters without approved plan and environmental impact assessment (EIA), even as Hon. Gella queried the company for allegedly flouting an earlier directive on the matter
Speaking later to news men, the chairman said that part of the committee’s visit is to enlarge an enabling law that will shield investors in the country because before now there   are no such laws and that the investors are investing money at their own risk relying only on the agreement with NPA and the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE).

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
