The Centre for Human Rights and Accountability Network (CHRAN) has expressed dismay over poor funding and decaying infrastructure crippling the Akwa Ibom judicial system. CHRAN noted that effective administration of justice could be hampered if urgent measures were not put in place to address the flaws. The CSO called on Governor Umo Emo to urgently intervene by giving a face-lift to courts across the 31 local government areas of the state and as well recruit personnel to strengthen the system in the state. It added that adequate funding was necessary for judicial officers not to bend the course of justice. The group’s Director in the state, Mr Franklyn Isong, who made the call while briefing Journalists during a media parley to mark end of the year activities of the Centre, lamented that facilities in the courts have broken down and become obsolete. Isong listed faulty toilets, fittings and water system in those facilities as those requiring urgent government intervention. “The CHRAN drew the attention of the State administration to the issues of understaffing and poor state of infrastructure and facilities, including toilets, fittings, water, in the Courts spread across the 31 Local Government Areas in Akwa Ibom State. “The Centre appealed to the State administration to ensure the recruitment of personnel into the State Judiciary and also give a facelift to the Courts spread across the 31 Local Government Areas in Akwa Ibom State”. Isong, who was giving sectoral assessment during the media parley also drew the attention of the Governor to the abandoned Divisional Library which he noted was established by the military administration in the defunct South Eastern State. “CHRAN drew the attention of the State administration to the poor state of infrastructure at the Divisional Library, Udotung Ubo Street, Uyo due to abandonment by successive administrations in the State. “The Centre recalled that the Divisional Library at Udotung Ubo Street, which now harbours the Akwa Ibom State Library Board, Uyo, was built and stocked about half a century ago by the then military administration in the defunct South Eastern State,” he said. He further expressed concern on the closure of Calabar-Itu Highway due to the ongoing construction of Tabernacle Road and flood control project in the state, lamenting that the closure has brought serious economic challenges to residents and motorists plying the road. According to him, “The Center called for expeditious attention by the contractors and the supervising Ministry”. Isong also frowned at the dormant state of the multi-billion naira Ibom E-Library, adding that findings by the group had revealed that the place is no longer functioning as a library. “Findings by CHRAN indicate that the Ibom E-Library at Babangida Avenue, Uyo is no longer functioning as a library. The Centre urged urgent action to revitalise the Ibom E-Library and other public libraries in the State” Isong stated On Anti-open Grazing Law in the state, the director who lauded the enactment of the law by the immediate-past administration of Mr. Udom Emmanuel, however, lamented that the law is only been partially enforced in some parts of the state. He urged the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and the Ministry of Internal Security and Waterways to fully implement the law as a step to checking grazing of cattle on farmlands.TORRANCE, Calif., Dec. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robinson Helicopter Company (RHC), the world's leading manufacturer of civil helicopters, secured approval from EASA authority, Argentina, Japan, and India for its improved empennage on select Robinson helicopter models.

Atlanta United ’s Cinderella playoff run came to an end on Sunday in Orlando. The hosts walked away with a hard-fought 1-0 win to advance to the Eastern Conference final. Orlando City will face the New York Red Bulls in Orlando next Saturday. Orlando City scored in the 39th after center forward Ramiro Enrique pounced on a deflected ball inside Atlanta United’s penalty area. Enrique’s lunging shot beat Atlanta goalkeeper Brad Guzan from close range. Atlanta had spells of possession and even carried much of the momentum early in the second half. RAMIRO WITH THE SLIDING FINISH 🛝 pic.twitter.com/9L7fNfoW7n — Orlando City SC (@OrlandoCitySC) November 24, 2024 However, injuries to both of Atlanta’s strikers were challenges that interim manager Rob Valentino had to navigate. Jamal Thiaré exited the match in the 43rd minute with an apparent leg injury. His replacement, Daniel Ríos , was forced off the pitch after a head injury at the start of the second half. Valentino again tinkered with his tactics, moving winger Saba Lobzhanidze to a false 9 role. The chances for Atlanta increased, but Orlando stood firm in their defensive formation. Atlanta ended the match without a single shot on target. Advertisement For Orlando, the opportunity to earn their first-ever MLS Cup berth is now on the line. They had never qualified for a conference final until Saturday. Óscar Pareja’s side have at times looked the part of a contender. Inconsistent play and underwhelming outing have also been a characteristic of this Orlando team. Against Atlanta, Orlando put in a brave performance, securing a 1-0 win when history was not on their side. Atlanta’s remarkable run as the ninth seed and play-in match winner ended by the narrowest of margins. Their elimination was preceded by what many considered to be the biggest upset in MLS playoff history. Atlanta knocked out Inter Miami and Lionel Messi , the top seed in the East and the current Supporters’ Shield winners. This is the second straight year that a play-in team has reached and lost a conference semifinal. “I told (the players) I’m grateful for their effort and their work. It was tremendous. We’re not gonna stop until the whistle goes. But that is something that I would always like if I’m a coach anywhere. That’s a bare minimum, like, that’s the minimum requirement for a team that I want to be associated with,” said Valentino. The loss to Orlando means that Valentino’s stint as head coach will likely end. He has been in the running for the full time position, according to club president and CEO Garth Lagerwey. But it was understood that Valentino would need to reach the MLS Cup final and potentially win it to earn the job. Atlanta’s offseason of change will accelerate, as Lagerwey must hire a new manager and sporting director. The 1-0 loss also marked the end of Dax McCarty ’s MLS career. Over the summer, the 37-year-old announced that he would retire at the end of the season. McCarty started his fourth consecutive match in midfield on Sunday and will now walk away from his professional career after playing more than 500 MLS matches Required reading (Photo of Ramiro Enrique: Alex Menendez / Getty Images)State government can regulate mobile towers, levy fee: High court
