Tinubu’s Choice of #Shettima As Running Mate, Wise Decision — APC S/Africa—The South Africa chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lauded the party’s Presidential Candidate, Sen. Bola Tinubu, for picking Sen. Kashim Shettima as his running mate for the 2023 election.

The chapter in a statement jointly signed on Tuesday in Lagos by its Chairman, Mr Bola Babarinde and the Publicity Secretary, Mr Sanni David, said Shettima’s choice was a wise decision.

Shettima, a former governor of Borno, is the senator representing Borno Central Senatorial District.

The group said picking him as the vice-presidential candidate of the party was a decision made in respect of competency rather than “primordial sentiments like tribal or religious cleavages that have held our country back for long.”

The 55-year-old banker-turned-politician was described by the chapter as a man that has the character and intellectual capacity of a vice-president.

“The thought process in selecting such cerebral and loyal running mate should be appreciated and valued as religion cannot be considered over competence and ability to garner votes for the party,” it stated.

According to the chapter, Shettima has the intellectual capacity to turn things around in the management of the economy under a Tinubu presidency.

“Pcking Sen. Kashim Shettima, an Agricultural Economist with illustrious background in Banking and Lecturing coupled with experience in the public sector, will steer the economic team to bring about much needed socioeconomic development.

“APC South Africa wishes the standard bearer of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Sen. Kashim Shettima the best of luck in the run up to the elections.

“We hope to host them during campaign tour in South Africa before the elections,” the chapter said

EL-Lab Medical Diagnostics And Research Centre Secures ReAccreditation To ISO 15189:2022

EL-Lab Medical Diagnostics And Research Centre Secures ReAccreditation To ISO 15189:2022

EL-Lab, a leading Medical diagnostic centre in Lagos earns renewed Accreditation from the Nigeria National Accreditation System (NiNAS), affirming its continued technical competence in medical laboratory testing.

A medical diagnostic centre with branches across Lagos, EL-Lab is the First Indigenous medical laboratory in Nigeria to attain the ISO 15189 status in Nigeria ten years ago. Till date, Nigeria may have less than 50 medical laboratories in both public and private categories to meet this standard.

EL-LAB has maintained this accreditation status for ten (10) years and currently holds this qualification from two (2) accreditation bodies in Nigeria, namely Medical Laboratory Council of Nigeria (MLSCN) and Nigeria National Accreditation System (NiNAS)

This achievement of reaccreditation and transition to ISO 15189:2022 for Medical testing, following a rigorous reassessment by Nigeria National Accreditation System (NiNAS) confirms that EL-Lab continues to meet the requirements of ISO 15189:2022, the internationally recognised standard governing quality and competence in medical laboratories. It sets out requirements covering everything from sample handling and testing procedures to staff competence and quality management, giving patients, clinicians, and partner institutions confidence in the accuracy and reliability of results.

For a medical diagnostic laboratory, reaccreditation is no small feat. It requires laboratories to demonstrate, through an independent and thorough assessment, that its systems, processes, and personnel consistently deliver results in line with international best practice. NiNAS, as Nigeria’s national accreditation body, conducts these assessments to ensure that accredited laboratories maintain the standards necessary for both local and global recognition.

By retaining this accreditation, EL Lab reinforces its position as a trusted provider of medical testing services within Lagos and the broader Nigerian healthcare system.

Speaking on this, the Managing Director of EL-Lab, Dr Elochukwu Adibo mni said; “This achievement reflects the laboratory’s commitment to quality assurance, staff training, and process improvement, factors that lead to more reliable outcomes for patients and referring clinicians”.
