New centre introduces advanced aesthetic medicine and premium aftercare as healthcare professionals, industry leaders attend unveiling

Dr Chidinma Akpa Pheoby, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CGE Healthcare, has officially launched a state-of-the-art medical facility at 9A Oladimeji Alo, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos on Wednesday. The unveiling event drew healthcare professionals, industry stakeholders, celebrities, business executives, and family members to witness what the founder described as a new era in patient-centred care and clinical excellence.

Guests at the launch were given an exclusive tour of the facility’s modern treatment suites and recovery spaces, which have been designed to international standards. The event featured complimentary consultations, goodwill messages from attendees, and a ceremonial ribbon-cutting led by Dr Pheoby. According to organisers, the new CGE Healthcare centre is built around principles of body security and premium aftercare for clients seeking aesthetic medical services.

The opening comes at a time when demand for safe and regulated aesthetic medicine is increasing among Nigerians seeking global-standard treatments locally. Industry observers say the facility’s focus on clinical excellence may set a new benchmark in Lagos’ competitive healthcare landscape.

Speaking at the launch ceremony, Dr Pheoby emphasised that the centre was established to address gaps in patient experience and safety. “CGE Healthcare was built on one simple belief: everyone deserves to feel safe, confident, and cared for. Every detail of this facility was intentionally designed to deliver excellence, compassion, and a patient experience that inspires trust. This is more than a clinic; it is a new home for confidence,” she said during her address at the event.

With the opening of this flagship location in Lekki Phase 1, stakeholders expect increased access to advanced procedures within Nigeria’s fast-evolving medical sector. As at press time, CGE Healthcare had not announced plans for further expansion but indicated commitment to maintaining high standards of care.

FHA Blames Developer for Port Harcourt Building Collapse After Extra Floor Added to Approved Plan

Federal Housing Authority officials say developer ignored three-floor limit as Rivers government launches investigation into collapse

Federal Housing Authority officials say developer ignored three-floor limit as Rivers government launches investigation into collapse

The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) has attributed the recent collapse of a four-storey building under construction along Odili Road in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, to the developer’s violation of the approved building plan. FHA officials visited the site on Thursday, led by Executive Director of Project Implementation, Oluremi Omowaiye, alongside the Rivers State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Edward Hart.

According to Omowaiye, the developer was initially granted approval to construct a three-storey structure but went ahead to add an extra floor without authorisation. He stated that this disregard for regulations likely contributed to the incident. A team of engineers from FHA headquarters in Abuja joined local authorities at the scene immediately after the collapse was reported to support rescue operations.

“The approval issued on February 20, 2024 was strictly for three suspended floors based on submittals by the developer,” Omowaiye said at the site inspection. “Adding another floor against what was approved is unacceptable and endangers lives.” The executive director commended Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State for his swift intervention and support in managing the aftermath.

FHA clarified that the building approval was granted before its current management took office. The agency stressed that it would not tolerate any further contravention of building regulations and called on all developers in Nigeria to adhere strictly to approved plans to avoid disasters.

Governor Fubara has since ordered a thorough investigation into the circumstances leading to the collapse and directed that the site remain sealed pending outcome of inquiries. Stakeholders have urged greater enforcement of planning laws as authorities continue search-and-rescue efforts at the location.

Move aims to speed up prosecution of suspects as state grapples with rise in cult-related violence and abductions

Move aims to speed up prosecution of suspects as state grapples with rise in cult-related violence and abductions

The Edo State Government has established a special court dedicated to handling cases of cultism and kidnapping, as part of renewed efforts to tackle insecurity in the state. The initiative, announced on Saturday, comes in response to growing concerns over the increasing rate of violent crimes in various communities across Edo.

The decision to set up the court was reached after a series of security meetings involving key stakeholders in Benin City. According to officials, the special court will prioritise the prosecution of suspects arrested for cult activities and kidnapping, with a view to ensuring speedy dispensation of justice and deterring further crimes.

Edo State has witnessed a surge in cult-related clashes and abductions over recent months, leading to anxiety among residents and calls for more decisive government intervention. Community leaders and civil society groups have repeatedly urged authorities to take stronger action against those responsible for these offences.

While announcing the measure, government representatives emphasised that the new court will work closely with security agencies and the state’s Ministry of Justice. “We are committed to restoring peace and order,” an official said. However, some legal practitioners have raised questions about the capacity of the existing judicial system to handle an influx of cases, stressing the need for adequate resources and fair trials.

With this development, Edo joins other states that have introduced specialised courts to address specific security challenges. The government has called on residents to support law enforcement efforts by providing credible information on criminal activities. Further details on the operational framework of the new court are expected in coming weeks.

Attack near Ahimeni sparks fresh security concerns as residents mourn loss of key community leaders

Suspected armed men have killed the Benue State chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Ardo Risku, and his son, Ibrahim, while they were returning from a peace meeting in Otukpo Local Government Area. The incident happened on Wednesday near Ahimeni in Okodu area shortly after both attended a dialogue aimed at fostering peaceful coexistence among local communities.

Security sources confirmed that the victims were ambushed by the assailants on their way home and killed at the scene. The peace meeting was intended to address rising tensions between farming and herding groups in the region, but the attack has now heightened fears among residents and stakeholders.

Benue State has witnessed repeated violent attacks in recent years, with thousands of residents displaced and many lives lost. This latest incident is seen as a serious setback to ongoing efforts at reconciliation between different communities. Community members described the killing as tragic, warning that it could undermine trust-building initiatives in the state.

Authorities are yet to issue an official statement regarding arrests or immediate security measures. Residents and local leaders are calling for urgent intervention by both state and federal security agencies to prevent further escalation. As at Thursday, tension remains high in Otukpo LGA and surrounding areas, with some residents expressing fears of possible reprisals.

The loss of the MACBAN chairman and his son underscores persistent insecurity challenges facing Benue State and much of Nigeria’s North-Central zone. Stakeholders say renewed commitment to dialogue, enhanced intelligence gathering, and prompt response from security agencies will be critical in restoring confidence among affected communities.
