By Nzube Nlebedim, Nigeria Field Editor H.E. Macky Sall, President of the Republic of Senegal has directed (https://bit.ly/3tYWRUe) that information exchange in the oil and gas sector be improved, in order for all participants to be equally well informed. The President made this announcement in a meeting he chaired on 9 February 2021, in which talks were held to assess the state of oil and gas project execution in Senegal. “We need increased vigilance from the State, especially with regard to the men and women in the public sphere engaged in the execution and monitoring of oil contracts. We must understand that we are there to serve. There is a chain which turns with links, and each link in the chain plays its own important role,” he said. Additionally, in the meeting, the President called for the local content law to also be applied to the mining sector, and that the National Oil and Gas Institute (INPG) take on the function of issuing certifications.Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Africa Oil &#038; Power Conference.Africa Oil &#038; Power will unite leaders from Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Mauritania and the wider West Africa region with global energy dealmakers, for the first-ever MSGBC Oil, Gas &#038; Power 2021 conference and exhibition on October 26-27 in Dakar, Senegal.

Health authorities in Guinea today declared an outbreak of Ebola in the rural community of Gouéké in N’Zerekore prefecture after three Ebola cases were confirmed by the national laboratory, marking the first time the disease has been reported in the country since an outbreak ended in 2016. Initial investigations found that a nurse from the local health facility died on the 28 January 2021. Following her burial, six people who attended the funeral reported Ebola-like symptoms and two of them have died, while the other four have been hospitalized. Guinea was one of the three most-affected countries in the 2014–2016 West Africa Ebola outbreak which was the largest since the virus was first discovered in 1976. “It’s a huge concern to see the resurgence of Ebola in Guinea, a country which has already suffered so much from the disease. However, banking on the expertise and experience built during the previous outbreak, health teams in Guinea are on the move to quickly trace the path of the virus and curb further infections,” said Dr Matshidiso Moeti, the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Africa. “WHO is supporting the authorities to set up testing, contact-tracing and treatment structures and to bring the overall response to full speed.” During the West African outbreak, WHO and partners supported Guinea to build up its capacity to respond to Ebola and the country has developed crucial expertise. Guinean health workers played a key role in supporting the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) with its recent outbreaks, with teams of vaccinators helping to train health workers in the DRC. WHO staff are already on the ground. In addition to surveillance they will help with ramping up infection prevention and control of health facilities and other key locations and reaching out to communities to ensure they take a key role in the response. WHO is also supporting the country to procure the Ebola vaccine which has proven instrumental in controlling outbreaks in the DRC. Samples of the confirmed cases have been sent to the Institut Pasteur in Senegal for a full genome sequencing to identify the strain of the Ebola virus. With the epicentre of the current outbreak in a border area, WHO is already working with health authorities in Liberia and Sierra Leone to beef up community surveillance of cases in their border districts as well as strengthening their capacity to test for cases and conduct surveillance in health facilities. WHO is reaching out to Cote d’Ivoire, Mali, Senegal and other countries at risk in the sub-region. During the West Africa Ebola outbreak there were 28 000 cases, including 11 000 deaths. The outbreak started in Guinea and then moved across land borders to Sierra Leone and Liberia.Distributed by APO Group on behalf of WHO Regional Office for Africa.Media filesDownload logo

“We are holding our first referees refresher course after a whole year of no rugby to bring them up to speed with the protocols around the health of the players and the sport in general. We also want to see if they understand the COVID 19 SOPs in regards to resumption of rugby because they will be in control of the games.” Ramsey Olinga,World Rugby Educator The Uganda Rugby Union (www.UgandaRugby.com) today held a refresher course for referees at Kyadondo Rugby Grounds. The course was moderated by World Rugby Trainer, David Kirabira and World Rugby Educator, Ramsey Olinga. During the four-hour refresher course, the referees were given a test to examine their knowledge on the new World Rugby Laws which was later followed by physical demonstration of where the laws are applied. This session was moderated by Ramsey Olinga with reference from the Laws of Rugby app. The second session of the day covered preparation and planning of a referee ahead of the games. The interactive session moderated by David Kirabira included a self-evaluation moment where referees were tasked to rate themselves in terms of fitness, knowledge of rugby laws and  mental preparation ahead of the league starting on 6th March. David later asked the referees to write down their goals ahead of the league and also advised them on how best they can achieve them. He later assigned each referee with a mentor to monitor their progress ahead of the league. The third session was moderated by Ramsey Olinga who took the referees through the COVID19 SOPs before and during the games. This included what the rugby union expects from various rugby facilities like having hand washing equipment, availability of sanitizers and temperature guns at the grounds. He also encouraged the referees to be very observant towards the players and report any suspicious behavior in regards to signs of COVID19. The referees will undergo one more test which will be a determinant of who will officiate the various league games starting on 6th March 2021. This test will take place on 20th February 2021 at 11:00am at Kyadondo. He also emphasized that the successful referees will be chosen on merit.Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Uganda Rugby Union.Media Contact: Rugby@apo-opa.comMedia filesDownload logo

There will be a few climbs to deal with in the opening 100km of the race, but the final 75km back to Roquetas de Mar will be mostly flat and fast. A power lineup has been assembled around Nizzolo, with fast men Max Walscheid and Matteo Pelucchi also looking to play key roles in the late final. Carlos Barbero, Sean Bennett, Victor Campenaerts and Emil Vinjebo complete our 7-rider line-up.

We have competed in six Tour de France’s and notched up 7 stage wins, with Mark Cavendish wearing the coveted Yellow Jersey at the 2016 Tour de France. We are a multicultural, diverse team with bases in South Africa, the Netherlands and Italy. There are 19 nationalities represented across our World Tour and continental feeder team rosters. Our focus on developing African cycling has resulted in more than 55 riders from the African continent be given the opportunity to race on the world stage, since the team&#39;s inception. We race to help people to move forward with bicycles through our relationship with Qhubeka Charity. Through our work with Qhubeka, we have contributed to the distribution of over 30 000 bicycles in communities in South Africa. About Qhubeka: Qhubeka (Qhubeka.org) is a charity that moves people forward with bicycles. People earn bicycles through our programmes, improving their access to schools, clinics and jobs. A bicycle is a tool that helps people to travel faster and further, and to carry more. In the face of extreme and persistent poverty, bicycles can change lives by helping to address socioeconomic challenges at the most basic level – helping people to get where they need to go.  All images attached to the press release can be used with the respective image credit in combination to this release.
