BREAKING: Edo Broadcasting Service Returns to the Airwaves

The Edo Broadcasting Service (EBS) is back on air after a nearly decade-long hiatus.
The Ihievbe station’s FM 98.3 has been revamped and is now broadcasting again.
This announcement was made by the Managing Director, Edo Broadcasting Service, Sulaiman Aledeh.
In his statement, Aledeh said “I am thrilled to announce that EBS is back on terrestrial! We did it! There were those who said it was impossible and that we would need to change nearly everything, but guess what? We proved them wrong!
Recall that for over a year, EBS has incurred significant losses due to the absence of our terrestrial channel, amounting to millions of naira.
Aledeh also noted that, “Many in my team hesitated to tackle the issue, but armed with my intuition and extensive knowledge of the craft,”I sought out an external team.”
“After three fruitful trips to Benin, we achieved our goal—EBS is once again broadcasting on Channel 45!
Aledeh also thanked the state Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo for having faith and believing in him and his team.
“Working directly with you on this project has been challenging because I know that failure is not an option for you, and your unwavering belief in our abilities has been both motivating and daunting.”
Aledeh thanked the people of Benin
“For those in Benin City, please do tune in and search for us on Channel 45. A heartfelt thank you to our in-house team, who worked tirelessly alongside my “secret weapons,” Engineer Evelyn Isikhumen and her young, dynamic team. Bravo to everyone involved”.

16-year-old student swept away by flood

A final-year student at Government Day Secondary School, Samaru, Zaria, Kaduna State, Miss Praise Malachi, tragically lost her life to flooding while rushing home to check her SSCE results, which a friend had told her were excellent.
The 16-year-old had earned a scholarship from the Centre for Girls Education, Zaria, in recognition of her outstanding academic performance.
Her father, Emmanuel Malachi, recounted that around 6:00 pm after heavy rain, Praise’s friends informed her at his shop about her results. Excited, she hurried home to check them on her phone but slipped while crossing a small river formed by severe erosion and was swept away by the floodwaters. Her body was recovered the next day in Hunkuyi, Kudan Local Government Area.
Neighbors Danladi Mudi and Emma Yashi explained that the area’s worsening erosion has made it highly prone to flooding, with several children having lost their lives in similar incidents before.
Habiba Mohammed, Director of the Centre for Girls Education, described Praise as an exceptional student and expressed deep sorrow over her death. She urged authorities to address the erosion problem and build a bridge on the dangerous road to prevent further tragedies.

NAFDAC : Fake Cowbell Milk in circulation
Risks include foodborne illnesses, allergic reactions, and organ damage, and in severe cases, death.

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) advises Nigerians to be vigilant and avoid purchasing counterfeit 12g Cowbell “Our Milk” sachets circulating across the country.
In a statement issued on Friday, the agency explained that the counterfeit product imitates the discontinued Cowbell “Our Milk” packaging, which Promasidor Nigeria Ltd stopped producing in September 2023.
The legitimate product was replaced with Cowbell “Our Creamy Goodness.”
The fake sachets unlawfully bear the Cowbell brand name, NAFDAC registration number and packaging design, despite not being manufactured or distributed by Promasidor.
The counterfeit products currently in circulation are imitations of the discontinued ‘Our Milk’ packaging and are not manufactured or distributed by Promasidor,” the agency stated.
“They bear unauthorised use of the brand name, NAFDAC Registration Number, and packaging design.”
The regulator raised concerns over the health risks posed by the counterfeit product.
“Risk Statement: Consumption of counterfeit milk poses serious health hazards, including exposure to toxic chemicals, unapproved additives, or diluted ingredients.
Risks include foodborne illnesses, allergic reactions, and organ damage, and in severe cases, death.
Infants, children, pregnant women, and the elderly are particularly vulnerable,” NAFDAC warned.
