The Vice Chancellor of the Nigeria Maritime University (NMU), Okerenkoko, Prof Emmanuel Adigio praised the rector of the Academy, Commodore Duja Effedua (rtd) for his outstanding efforts at repositioning the nation’s premier maritime education and training centre to world-class in less than four years in office.

Prof Adigo who said this during the educational tour by NMU cadets to the Maritime Academy of Nigeria (MAN) Oron recently, also challenged Nigerian leaders to always justifying their first term mandate before jostling for a second term.

The VC, who was represented by the Dean, School of Maritime Transport and Logistics, Dr Victor Omoke, commended the rate of transformation in the Academy and classified the quality of educational and infrastructural facilities put in place by the rector in the Academy as second to none in Nigeria.

He hinted that the class of leaders in the likes of Commodore Effedua (retd) is what Nigerians desire, adding that Nigeria needed to replicate his likes in every sector of the economy for speedy positive changes.

‘I visited the academy a few years ago and it is nothing compared to what I have seen today, the transformation is massive. In fact, this is the kind of leader Nigerians have been praying for, I believe productivity, efficiency and transparency is a rare trait in leadership and should be lauded if found in any leader,’ he said.

‘In Nigeria, people crave for a second term even when they did not achieve much in their first tenure, I am of the opinion that second term should be considered on the strength of one’s performance during the first term, I want to add that from all indications you deserve a second term.’

Adigo explained that the aim of the educational tour was to expose their cadets to hands-on experience in the maritime industry and therefore expressed his management’s desire to collaborate with the Academy in the area of training since the academy has the required facilities that would help them achieve this objective.

In his remarks, the MAN rector who attributed his achievements in the academy to the cooperation of his staff and management said he was able to do much with the funds he got from blocking financial loopholes that existed in the system before his assumption in office.

Effedua also advised the NMU Cadets to shun acts of cultism and other vices inimical to their studies and future by extension, saying that they have to justify the confidence their parents reposed in them.

He stressed that considering the fact that both institutions have similar mandates, collaboration in the area of training would be a welcomed development since NMU cadets would have the opportunity of taking advantage of the state-of-the-art educational facilities in the academy to enhance their practical training.

He said that as part of its contribution to fast track the partnership process, the academy would offer free accommodation and reduced fees for NMU cadets who would take up Mandatory/Short Courses in the Academy.

‘Initially, when I was appointed the rector, I was ashamed because of how the academy was, but then we worked day and night and I am happy to say that we have made significant changes. Your school can take advantage of the facilities we have here, likewise mine, whatever we can do for your school to help develop the maritime industry would be done, our doors are open,’ 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
