= 1. I am Dr Margaret Chan, the director General of WHO (the World Health Organization), appointed by the World Health Assembly. =

2. Being the Director General my representation isn’t confined within a certain region. However, having the obligations I’ve been authorized, right now my endeavor shifts toward the Western coastal region. More specifically, in Nigeria. This western region borders the Gold of New Guinea between Benin and Cameroon. Nigeria isn’t necessarily categorized as an insufficient piece of land. Being a little more than twice the size of California, the total land ranges around 4050 km of land. Containing the generous amount of land it has, Nigeria’s geographic components vary. For instance, the climate alternates between equatorial, tropic, and arid due to the placement of the equator, compared to the placement of Nigeria. Depending on the disposition, some dimensions produce natural gases, tin, iron, coal, and even lead. Other dimensions may not be as equip as the fertile lands, resulting in soil degradation, and rapid air and water pollution. Nigeria is rich in Oil, but is long hampered by political instability, and poor macroeconomic management. The largely competent agriculture sector of Nigeria has ineffectively kept up with the augmenting population as a consequence of former military leaders formidably diversifying the economy away from overdependence. Encompassing the large population Nigeria acquires, economic budgets set strict boundaries for the living conditions of the people. However, with the population growth rate deliberately increasing, the economic magnitude is estimated to run in parallel with the population. In other words, both are thought to be slowly increasing. Being known for the most populous region in Africa, Nigeria is said to be composed of greater than 250 different ethnic groups. The Hausa and Fulani clans are summoned to consist of the most politically influential citizens, filling in for 29% of Nigeria’s population. 3. Before i received my position of Director General, I was a World Health Organization Assistant Director-General for Communicable Diseases. My enthusiasm has invariably been shifted toward health related aspects, notably world -wide. Inclusive with my assistance, Representing the Director-General for PandemicInfluenza was also a part of my collaboration. My work has not perpetually been with the World Health Organization; prior to my occupation at WHO, I fulfilled the position of a health director in Hong Kong. In the interim of my nine year occupation, exhibited the first human outbreak of H5N1 (Avian Influenza). In addition to my disclosure, I also inaugurated services to prevent disease, and promote better health hindering my conquest of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in Hong Kong in 2003.

4. The African Union, The United Nations, and Dr. Luis Sambo, World Health Organization regional director for Africa are supporting endeavors that reflect my ideas. Dr. Luis Sambo is a representative for my company, converging toward the provision of support more specifically in the African Region. Sambo reinforces strengthening of health systems based on the primary health care approach, as well as intensifying the prevention and control of communicable and noncommunicable diseases. The African Union was established on 26 May 2001 to promote the organization of African Unity. A major contribution to the concerns of the AU consist of working with relevant international partners in the annihilation of preventable diseases and the promotion of good health on the continent. The African Union pays close attention to the Nigerian region, especially in cases incriminating relevant international partners in the promotion of good health on the continent. Along with the African Union (AU), the United Nations (UN) is an International organization committed to maintaining international peace and security, developing social progress, and sophisticated living standards.The three references mentioned advocate my position as a Director General.

5. The place a person resides, to many people, gives a brief overview of the person. Residence could correspond with the culture one inhibits as well as minerals and agriculture; economic, and political health are also big correspondents of the accommodations one acquires. Just like in America appropriate shelter and property are two main factors concerning the health of an individual.If desires to rent or own land in Algeria occur, there are some guidelines essential to the education of the people in Nigeria. The same purchasing policy correlates in Nigeria. Contracts last for the duration of the payments. An option to renew with rent adjustment can be included in the contract. If the tenant pre-terminates a contract, no refunds are made. Subleasing may be included in the contract. Along with ownership of property, laws and rules against enforced trade of human beings for any means are severly enforced. This trade can be fairly categorized as human trafficking. Nigeria and it’s corresponding government have sustained law enforcements to combat the pursuit of trafficking. Trafficking is a result of lack of consideration for other humans rights. Sources say Nigeria's human rights record remains poor and government officials at all levels continue to commit serious abuses. This seems to be a lapsing problem in Nigeria, as it’s said that due to some election fraud, security forces motivated extrajudicial killings, including torture, rape and other degrading human acts. Contrary to the human trafficking, these acts have demanded laws of human freedom rights. Consistency of these rights include freedoms of expressions, assembly, and participation. Although miniscule amounts of change have occurred, it is generally concluded that Nigerians are at least able to express themselves freely in the context of Nigeria’s new political environment. Formerly to President Obasanjo’s government, decades of systematic human right violations were committed under military regard. An important transition from military to civilian government welcomed President Obasanjo into power. The present INEC (Independent National Electoral Commission) received inauguration on June 30th, later being described as a clear national consensus on the need for free, fair and credible elections in Nigeria. Diversification is strongly correlated back to the economic processes of Nigeria. Financially speaking, diversification is the act of reducing risk by investing in a variety of assets; a technique that practices manufacturing of a discrepancy of materials. As of current, diversification in Nigeria is an arising battle, headed toward success. Participants of a communique conference noted that export diversification is a key strategy for economic success, and continue to act upon their hypothesis. Being affiliated with The World Health Organization, laws and safety unite immensely to my current profession. Being a distinctive country, climate and terrain metamorphosis has major influence on the development of health.As being developed, safe water and food are key ingrediants to a healthy country. On the contrary, lack of clean drinking water and access to sanitation, generate contamination to many of those who currently reside in the region. Malaria is of the most common infectious disease among Nigerian people currently. Malaria is the culmination of a tiny little parasite called Protozoa. There are three main classes of parasites that can cause disease in humans: protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites. Protozoa are microscopic, one-celled organisms. They can range anywhere from innocent to dangerous depending on the organism. Protozoa have the ability to multiply, also being the genesis for a serious infection. Person to person contact, and fecal-oral routes, by tarnished food or water, are the main transmitters, promoting parasitic disease.The World Health Organization (WHO) concludes that Helminth parasites occur in more than 1 in every 4 people. These statistics can be terminated regarding regular access to clean water for drinking, cooking, and washing. Improved access to uncontaminated water, personal hygiene and food safety education, dramatically reduce the incidence of parasite-related illnesses. Due to the international ramifications, regional wars, and spreads of regional cultures, the boundaries for parasitic diseases are no longer perceptible. With the support and education of my sponsors, the WHO strongly agree Nigeria is in an upward spiral toward success.
