The Vice Chancellor of the university, stated this last week during the commissioning of the training school in Lagos.

Ogundipe said that the university will collaborate with the training school in the area of Diploma programmes or Masters programmes, so as to make the best use of the facility.

He informed that there are customised courses that can be offered at the training school that will serve as an eye-opener for the maritime industry.

“Training is about development, exposure and it’s about opening one’s inner eyes, that where they call dry land you can still get something from it. I am excited concerning what we are doing today.

“I congratulate the MD of NPA, Bello Koko because what we are doing today is saving the country some funds that would have been used in sending people abroad for training.

“Secondly, you are bringing resources into play here where you can get some of our colleagues that will be able to teach and also expose staff in NPA to the recent development in the area of maritime and other related courses. I want to assure you that the University of Lagos is ready to collaborate with you in the area of Diploma programme or Masters programme , so that we will be able to make the best use of the facilities here , we are ready to collaborate with you in the area of customised programme” he said.

Speaking at the commissioning the managing director of NPA Mohammed Bello Koko, said s the decision to invest so much in the facility took cognizance of its former employees, some of whom he said although are retired, but actually not tired and as such, there is need to tap into their wealth of experience and institutional knowledge by inviting them as resource persons to train upcoming employees.

He noted that processes are also in the works to partner with the World Maritime University, the Nigerian Navy Hydrography Department. Nigerian Institute of Marine and Oceanography Research, the University of Lagos and other research and learning institutions in the area of curriculum development and capacity building.

Marine Engine/Auxiliaries. Buoyage Practical, Mooring and other marine-related competencies which are increasingly in demand; not just in-house but indeed in the industry.

He also urged sister agencies in the maritime sector that are desirous of a best-in-class training platform for their employees to make use of the NPA facility.

He said: “Let me therefore seize this moment to recommend this facility for patronage by sister agencies in the maritime sector and other industry players who are desirous of a best-in-class training platform for their employees.

“Sustainably providing efficient port service in safe, secure, and customer environment requires that we ensure and assure our skill preparedness and put in place a robust talent succession planning procedure that places emphasis on best practice as a culture.

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
