Total Solar Eclipse: A 4-Minute Peek into the Secrets of the Sun

Anticipation is growing as eclipse mania takes hold of millions throughout North America, with the prospect of around four minutes of complete darkness on Monday as the Moon blocks out the Sun's rays.

This brief period of darkness offers a unique chance to conduct scientific experiments that would otherwise be challenging or impossible. Scientists are gearing up to launch rockets into the eclipse's path, study animal behavior in zoos, send radio signals globally, and capture breathtaking images of the phenomenon with advanced cameras.

Involvement in these scientific pursuits is not restricted to experts only; amateurs and enthusiasts are also urged to partake in the excitement.

Nevertheless, despite thorough preparations, there remains a chance of unexpected obstacles. Variables like solar flares or even regular clouds could potentially disrupt these meticulously arranged plans, introducing an element of unpredictability to the event.

Gov Alia Approves Construction Of 16km Road To End Decades-Long Land Dispute

…The move comes after a meeting he held with a delegation from the Air Force, and the communities to resolve the dispute.

By Pius Angbo | February 23, 2024

The Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has approved the construction of a 16-kilometre road to end a 46-year-old land dispute between the Nigerian Air Force Tactical Air Command Makurdi, and its host communities.

The move comes after a meeting he held with a delegation from the Air Force, as well as representatives of Ugondo and Mbaivur communities to discuss ways to resolve the lingering land dispute.

At the meeting on Wednesday in Makurdi, the state capital, Governor Alia said the road would link the borders of Makurdi and Gwer-West, up to the Gwer-West boundary with the Gboko Local Government Area, to make the communities more accessible.

According to him, resolving the dispute will attract more Federal Government presence, thereby bringing more development to the state.
The Governor thanked the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar, for his efforts to ensure that the decades-long dispute was resolved, and reiterated his administration’s readiness to ensure that more developmental projects are brought into the state.

He added that the road would serve as a permanent boundary between the natives and the Air Force.

Earlier in his address, the leader of the delegation and the Air Officer Commanding Tactical Air Command, Nigerian Air Force, Makurdi, AVM F. O. Edahosa, noted that efforts made in the past to resolve the land dispute had failed.

According to him; the Chief of Air Staff has also shown interest in the resolution of the case, considering how strategic Benue State is.
He appreciated the Governor for his tireless efforts and desire to ensure peace in the state, pointing to some of the meetings the governor had held with the heads of different security agencies since he assumed office.

Governor Alia acknowledged the hardships faced by parents, recognizing that the cost of education could be a significant strain on household finances. "We understand the plight of you parents. This is why we decided to do this”, he affirmed.

The initiative is targeted at students enrolled in government-owned secondary schools across Benue State, aiming to ensure that financial constraints do not hinder their academic pursuits.

When you visits other states, you are a visitor in that place. When you come back to your Benue you are home here."
He stated further that " security reports has it in authority that some members in Benue community have gone out of their way to invite herders all the way from the Niger border to troop into Benue State, all in the name of bringing down the administration and creating some security hype; and this is very unacceptable.

Executive Governor of Benue State, H.E. Rev Fr Dr Hyacinth Iormem Alia has pledged the resolve of the state government to collaborate with the National Orientation Agency (NOA) towards fostering a new identity and value reorientation for the state and the country at large.

Governor Alia made this known Wednesday when he received the Director General of NOA, Mallam Lanre Issa Onilu who was in the state on an advocacy visit at the Presidential Lodge, Government House, Makurdi.

He said the Nigerian nation for years has been wallowing in negativity hence the need for reawakening of its ethical values.

Represented by the Deputy Governor Barr Dr Sam Ode mni, the Governor said "you will agree with me that lack of a clear-cut national focus and national identity for who we are have left citizens at a loose end".

He therefore expressed happiness that NOA which has been silent for years has now found its feet and would give Nigeria the ethical standard it deserves.

In a remark the Director General of NOA, Mallam Lanre Issa Onilu said he was in the Benue as part of his nation-wide advocacy and familiarization tour of the 36 states of the federation to alert the state government of the Agency's ongoing campaign tagged National Value Charter.

He described the Charter as a contract between the country and the citizens. The Charter, according to the Director General, expained in details what the country promises its citizens and also what is expected of the citizens to the country.

Mallam Onilu further disclosed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will soon unveil the Charter and thereafter the programme willl be stepped down to the states and local government areas in the 36 states of the federation, adding that "we will therefore be needing much from the state government to drive home the agenda".
