By George Dinga



The Rapid Intervention Battalion better known as BIR, has put smiles on the faces of the population of Bakingili in the West Coast area.

This was during a ceremony to handover the rehabilitation health centre of Bakingili and donation of medical kits to the centre that took place on May 12, 2020 at the esplanade of the centre.

During the duo ceremony that was presided over by the Divisional Officer for the West Coast Stephen Ngai Ngong, the commandant of the Rapid Intervention Battalion of ldenau Major Zongo Xavier reiterated that the role of the army is to take care of the population not only in terms of security but also in terms of social domains.

That the army is always ready to work in synergy with the population and that the donation shows the links that exist between the army and the population.

It should be noted that before donating to the Bakingili health centre, the Rapid Intervention Battalion had reconstructed and rehabilitate a primary school in Idenau and the ldenau beach.

The items donated included baby beds, carriers for patients, microscope to identify diseases, baby scale and that of women among others.


In his address the Divisional Officer for the West Coast Stephen Ngai Ngong thanked the BIR for the donation while mentioning that the BIR have been doing a lot to the community of the West Coast area. 

He called on them not to relent their efforts but to continue to think of their community.
The Divisional Officer called on the population to continue to encourage and collaborate with the BIR.

The representative of the chief of centre of the health centre of Bakingili, Gerald Gah Tezi used the occasion to extend his gratitude to the Rapid Intervention Battalion for the kind gesture.

He said the donation is timely taking into consideration the challenges face by the health centre. He promised to use the equipment judiciously for the purpose it deserves but as Oliver Twist; he said the health centre needs more.

The chief of centre called on the BIR to continue with the kind gesture to other centres in the subdivision.

What is Ukraine's offence? Why has Russia chosen to launch an offensive at this point and what exactly does it seek to achieve? What will happen next and where is the world heading? These and other questions have been attended to here. It may end up being a long piece but I appeal on you to exercise some patience and come along with me. On the international stage, states don't have permanent friends. Friendship lasts for only as long as the other party is still relevant to the fulfilment of their interests. It is common for them to share a bed with one party today and avoid them the next if their interests change and the fellow becomes irrelevant or too dangerous to stay close. Common i...
