Beloved President Carter was known for living a life of service to others and for his faith, love of country, and family . Who was President Jimmy Carter? Jimmy Carter was the oldest living US President after the death of George H.W. Bush in 2018. Carter was born on October 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia - the same place where he ultimately died. According to his biography on the White House website: "Peanut farming, talk of politics, and devotion to the Baptist faith were mainstays of his upbringing." He was a naval officer for seven years and became a submariner. He rose to the rank of lieutenant before he left the Navy when his father died in 1953, and he saw it as his responsibility to take over the family farm. He soon jumped into politics after being elected to the Georgia State Senate. In 1970, with the help of his wife, Rosalynn, he was elected the Governor of Georgia. In 1976, Carter beat out then-President Gerald Ford for the Oval Office, which he occupied from 1977 to 1981. Most read in The US Sun During his presidency, Carter was known for his compassionate approach to politics. Domestically, he created 8 million jobs, many of which went to women, African Americans, and Hispanics. He expanded the national park system and created the Department of Education and the Department of Energy. Internationally, he soared and, in 2002, was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in helping to create the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. After his presidency, Jimmy and Rosalynn founded the Carter Center , a non-profit center that helps humanitarian causes around the globe. They also were heavily involved with Habitat for Humanity.

"The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honoring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” Carter, the beloved Democrat and Nobel Peace Prize winner, had experienced several health issues in recent years including melanoma that spread to his liver and brain. In 2015, he beat brain and liver cancer, but in 2019, his health began to suffer again. He chose hospice care over continuing medical treatment, the Carter Center announced on Saturday, February 18, 2023.

Governor Uba Sani has said his administration has taken steps to improve rural communities, enhance security, and drive economic growth in Kaduna State within less than two years of his assumption of office. The governor made this statement during an interactive session on Thursday at the secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), noting that the government has addressed security challenges and directed the state toward the much-needed road to economic development and growth. Sani, who was represented at the occasion by his Principal Private Secretary (PPS), Professor Bello Ayuba, explained that “no doubt, there has never been any administration in the history of Kaduna State that achieved so much within a short time and with limited resources like the present government.” According to him, in less than two years, the administration in Kaduna State has been rapidly transforming rural communities through massive infrastructural development, the revival and revitalization of the health and educational sectors, frontally fighting poverty, and strengthening partnerships with security forces to secure the state. Stressing the area of security, he noted that the government has forged a solid partnership with federal security forces to secure Kaduna State by giving them logistics support to enhance their operations, just as the government distributed 150 operational vehicles and 500 motorcycles to them and the Kaduna State Vigilance Service (KADVS) to boost their operations. Besides, he stressed, the state government has signed the Kaduna State Security Trust Fund Bill into law. He said, “The trust fund will raise funds for the acquisition and deployment of even more security equipment, personnel, and materials, as well as the training of security personnel. “Through the efforts of the Peace Dialogue Group established by the Kaduna State Government in collaboration with federal agencies and security services, peace has returned to Birnin Gwari. “On November 29, the governor reopened the famous and strategic Birnin Gwari Market, which had been closed for about 10 years, thus signaling the commencement of commercial activities. Above all, the long-abandoned Birnin Gwari Road has come back to life. Similarly, Kidandan Market in Giwa Local Government of Kaduna State, which had not been patronised for several years owing to insecurity, has been opened. Indeed, this marks the beginning of the return of peace and stability to Giwa Local Government. “Significantly, Governor Uba Sani has been embarking on massive rural development by extending infrastructure development to all local government areas, with the goal of supporting rural communities to achieve rapid economic growth and development. In this regard, the government has undertaken 68 road projects, covering a total of approximately 700 kilometers across the three senatorial districts.” The government further pointed out that human capital development is one of the pivots of the Governor Sani administration, and for this reason, it has improved access to education and revived the health sector. “So far, the Kaduna State Government has built 62 new secondary schools, comprising 39 junior and 23 senior secondary schools, across the three senatorial districts. Besides, approval has been given for the construction of an additional 50 secondary schools across the state. Upon completion, these new schools are expected to enroll over 100,000 students, further solidifying Kaduna State’s commitment to providing inclusive and accessible education for all. Also, 2,000 qualified teachers have been recruited, awaiting deployment to these newly completed schools. “In addition, the government has constructed 2,326 new classrooms, renovated 707 classrooms, supplied 30,742 two-seater pupil’s furniture, provided 3,704 teachers’ furniture, and constructed 918 VIP cubicle toilets and 51 hand pump boreholes in schools across the state,” he added. The Sani administration was also said to have placed agriculture at the center of Kaduna State’s development agenda, noting that in the last 18 months, Kaduna State has become a beacon of hope for smallholder farmers, an engine of economic growth, and a model of agricultural excellence. “Under the remarkable palliative programme, Sustainable Livelihoods through Social Interventions and Economic Empowerment, the Get Back to the Farm initiative has breathed new life into the agricultural sector. The government has distributed vital inputs—high-quality seeds, fertilizers, agrochemicals, and farming equipment—to 41,693 smallholder farmers and cooperatives across all 23 LGAs. This initiative is a game-changer for our farmers, restoring their livelihoods and driving increased productivity across the state. “Significantly, the Uba Sani administration undertook the largest free fertilizer distribution in Kaduna State’s history, with the distribution of 500 trucks of fertilizer from which 240,000 bags were given out free to 120,000 smallholder farmers. The government has also invested heavily in both mechanization and micro-mechanization of the agricultural sector. Indeed, the last time the state invested in mechanization through the procurement of tractors was in 2010, but this government has procured 12 heavy-duty tractors that can handle large-scale commercial farming and complex and difficult farming operations “Since assuming office in May 2023, Governor Uba Sani has placed a high premium on bringing succor to the poor, vulnerable, and underserved in Kaduna State. In this regard, he has been carrying out pro-poor measures to bring needed relief to Kaduna State citizens, first by signing an Executive Order on Financial Inclusion. By so doing, the governor has shown commitment to addressing the exclusion of the poor, underserved, and vulnerable from financial services and ensuring that they benefit from social intervention programs of Kaduna State and the Federal Government. “The aim is to empower people with tools like savings accounts, credit, insurance, and digital payment options, enabling them to participate in the formal financial system, manage their finances, and build economic resilience,” he added.
Trump urges US Supreme Court to delay TikTok ban US officials and lawmakers had accused ByteDance of being linked to Chinese government US president-elect Donald Trump speaking at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) on January 31, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois, US. — AFP WASHINGTON: US President-elect Donald Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to delay an upcoming TikTok ban while he works on a “political resolution”, BBC reported. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700472799616-0'); }); His lawyer filed a legal brief on Friday with the court that says Trump “opposes banning TikTok” and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office”. On 10 January, the court is due to hear arguments on a US law that requires TikTok’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the social media company to an American firm or face a ban come 19 January -- a day before Trump takes office. US officials and lawmakers had accused ByteDance of being linked to the Chinese government -- which the firm denies.WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump appears to be siding with Elon Musk and his other backers in the tech industry as a dispute over immigration visas has divided his supporters. Trump, in an interview with the New York Post on Saturday, praised the use of visas to bring skilled foreign workers to the U.S. The topic has become a flashpoint within his conservative base. “I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them," Trump said. In fact, Trump has in the past criticized the H-1B visas, calling them “very bad” and “unfair” for U.S. workers. During his first term as president, he unveiled a “Hire American” policy that directed changes to the program to try to ensure the visas were awarded to the highest-paid or most-skilled applicants. Despite his criticism of them and attempts to curb their use, he has also used the visas at his businesses in the past, something he acknowledged in his interview Saturday. “I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program," Trump told the newspaper. He did not appear to address questions about whether he would pursue any changes to the number or use of the visas once he takes office Jan. 20. Trump's hardline immigration policies, focused mostly on immigrants who are in the country illegally, were a cornerstone of his presidential campaign and a priority issue for his supporters. But in recent days, his coalition has split in a public debate largely taking place online about the tech industry's hiring of foreign workers. Hard-right members of Trump's movement have accused Musk and others in Trump's new flank of tech-world supporters of pushing policies at odds with Trump's “America First" vision. Software engineers and others in the tech industry have used H-1B visas for skilled foreign workers and say they are a critical tool for hard-to-fill positions. But critics have said they undercut U.S. citizens who could take those jobs. Some on the right have called for the program to be eliminated.
