Oyebanji: SWAN appeals to KWSG for support
The Kwara state chapter of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) has appealed to the state government, under the able leadership of Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq to urgently assist the ailing former staff of the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA), Akinloye Oyebanji.
In a release jointly signed by the Chairman, Jimoh Bashir and Secretary, Olayinka Owolewa, the body also called on well-meaning Kwarans to also show concern.
Oyebanji hails from Oke-Obigbin, in Isin Local Government Area of the state.
Oyebanji is presently at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the National Hospital, Abuja, and requires being at the same hospital in India to survive.
According to reports, the illness has been on for almost four months now, and Oyebanji has been in and out of hospital, until it developed into the present state.
The report also added that the family has spent huge amount of money, and is in dare need of support to fly him abroad for more comprehensive treatment.
He would need the sum of $25,000 (Twenty-five thousand dollars) for both transportation and treatment for himself and two caretakers.
“Kwara SWAN, on behalf of the family, is appealing to the government and spirited Kwarans and Nigerians to come to the aid of ailing Oyebanji” the statement said.
Oyebanji was a strong member of SWAN, who worked with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) in various capacities.

NEDC Disowns Circulating MSc Education Support Fund Application
Joel Ajayi
The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has warned the public against a fake and unauthorised message circulating on social media about an alleged Education Support Fund for Master’s degree (MSc) students.
The Commission, in a disclaimer signed by its management on Friday, described the purported programme, including its stated requirements and the alleged submission point at the NEDC office in Polo, Maiduguri, as false and unauthorised.
According to the Commission, it is not currently receiving applications for any MSc Education Support Fund as contained in the circulating message.
NEDC therefore urged prospective applicants and other members of the public to disregard the information and avoid submitting personal documents to individuals or locations claiming to be acting on behalf of the Commission.
It specifically cautioned the public against releasing sensitive documents such as National Identification Number (NIN) slips, admission letters, identity cards and indigene certificates in connection with the purported programme.
The Commission further warned the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and the unauthorised use of NEDC’s name and identity to deceive unsuspecting applicants.
It advised members of the public seeking information on its programmes, interventions and opportunities to rely only on official NEDC communication channels and verified announcements issued by the Commission
