-


West and Central Africa's largest airline Arik Air is renowned for Safety and the airline has come out  once again to reaffirm her commitment to safety urging her teeming customers to disregard any contrary report as it has a well stocked Spare Parts Store valued at over 250 million United States dollars to cater for her aircraft maintenance.

The Spokesman of Arik Air; Mr. Adebanji Ola said in a statement made available to the media yesterday that the airline not only adheres strictly to  international safety and operational standards but also deploys modern aircraft that are well maintained by world class Engineering Firms.

Arik Air says its safety culture has earned her four consecutive successes in the International Operational Safety Audit(IOSA) conducted by the International Air Transport Association(IATA)" with the last two audits cleared successfully without any findings"'
The statement continues"' This achievement has also earned Arik Air, EIOSA (Enhanced IATA Operational Safety Audit) making it the only airline in West and Central Africa region to have such certification"

While reiterating her commitment to observing optimum safety procedure, Arik Air said it "operates the youngest fleet in West Africa with an average hull age of 7.8 years and has an existing contract with world renowned maintenance providers such as Lufthansa Technik and Lufthansa Cityline under full “turnkey” maintenance service contracts and other leading maintenance service providers such as SAMCO Engineering, South African Airways (SAA) Technical and Ethiopia Engineering"

Arik Air says its Maintenance/Engineering department has been audited severally by external auditors who have attested to the airline’s provision of a safe and reliable aircraft operation.

The truth is that the Aviation Industry is highly regulated and for the global aviation regulatory body; IATA to certify Arik Air's flight operations and safety procedures over and over again, it shows that the airline is getting something right.

Along with the showers comes the risk of various diseases like food poisoning, diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera. Again, in rainy season, digestion is generally weak. Therefore, you should eat less. It is also essential to fast once a week or fortnight. People eat some incorrect food during this time and fall sick. To protect your health, follow this dietary guideline: •Avoid heavy, salty food, as it promotes water retention and bloating. It is better to have medium or low salt food •Eat foods which are drying in nature, the most popular being corn, and oats, among others. Eating watery foods like rice and watermelon creates swelling in the body •Maintain the general hygiene while eating out and definitely avoid roadside vendors, as very few people have the high immunity to handle the bacterial overload at such places •The milk is the better diet in this season. Drink butter milk, as it improves digestion. Oily food should be taken in less quantity •Eat li

Fibroids are the most common benign tumours in females and they occur during the reproductive years. They occur in up to 50 per cent of women. The exact cause of this tumour is unknown; but some factors are associated with increased chance of developing uterine fibroid. A family history is a factor. History of fibroid developing in women of the same family or race plays a role in a woman’s life. African women have between two and three times chances of developing fibroid than white women. Also, African women develop fibroid at a younger age, usually in their 20s and above, unlike white or caucasian women where fibroid may occur in their 30s or 40s. No pregnancy or low pregnancy rate increases the risk, just as early onset of menses may also increase the risk of developing uterine fibroid. Obesity, alcohol consumption, and hypertension may
