The need to consolidate and complete the development progress driven by the
Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) and ensure that no one is left behind led world
leaders to gather at the UN Headquarters in New York in September 2015 to adopt a new
program on sustainable development. The SDGs provide a more ambitious international
framework for driving progress between 2016 and 2030. A review of the MDGs
implementation in Nigeria reveals that the country registered mixed results across the
goals, geographic areas and gender groups. Even though, there are some progresses on
some indicators, many of the goals and targets were not met. This is in view of the fact
that the Nigerian Government did so many things in order to achieve the set goals. The
debates surrounding the SDGs have mainly concerned with the setting of goals and
indicators while less attention has been paid to discussing the roles and responsibilities of
different stakeholders towards achieving these goals, and how to best implement this
universal framework at the local level. Given the scope and ambition of the SDGs, it is
clear that governments alone cannot achieve the agenda. Therefore, building vibrant and
systematic partnerships with other stakeholders is a vital prerequisite for the successful
implementation of a transformative agenda to accelerate poverty reduction and
sustainable development goals. The objective of this paper is to explore the role of CSOs,
VOPEs, private sector and the media towards achieving the SDGs in Nigeria.

The incidence of inguinal hernia is very common especially in older individuals. Often patients are unaware of the presence due to absence of any symptoms unless detected accidentally or detected in those causing presence of pain or other symptoms. The anterior open inguinal hernia repair with mesh was described by Lichtenstein in 1989. This tension free operation has become popular. We in the present study operated on the patients with uncomplicated unilateral inguinal hernia with Lichtenstein tension free technique under Local Anesthesia and Spinal Anesthesia to evaluate their outcomes. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the Department of General Surgery, Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Naganoor, Karimnagar. A total of 74 patients admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of uncomplicated inguinal hernia were included in the study. They were divided into two groups Group I (LA) included 36 patients and group II [GA] 38 patients. The investigations required as routine for diagnosis and to test the sensitivity to the local anesthetic night before surgery. Lichtenstein tension free hernioplasty is performed irrespective of type of anesthesia. The postoperative pain was measured with the Visual analogue scale (VAS) at 4h, 8h, 12h & 24h. Results: Mean time taken for duration of surgery in LA group is 58.8 + 6.02 minutes & in SA group is 56.6 + 6.74 minutes. P = 0.246 not significant. Mean time spent in operating room in LA group is 68.1 + 6.35 minutes & in SA group is 76.4+6.52 minutes with a significant P value of <0.01. The mean VAS score at 4h, 8h, 12 h, & 24h for LA group was low when compared to the SA group. The maximum VAS score was observed at 8h in both the groups and less in LA group at 3.13 ± 1.26 as compared to SA group 4.31 ± 1.66 at 12 hours also VAS was less in LA at 1.97 ± 1.02 as compared to SA 3.15 ± 1.88. Conclusion: From our study it is observed that Lichtenstein tension free hernioplasty done under local anesthesia offers following several advantages over spinal anesthesia and it is Safer even in the patients with medical comorbidities and on antiplatelet therapy. Therefore local anesthesia may be considered as the anesthesia of choice for Lichtenstein tension free hernioplasty for an uncomplicated, primary, inguinal hernia

Abstract: The discovery of precancerous breast lesions has increased considerably with the generalization of screening. There are several classifications, the most used is that of Tavassoli and Al (adopted by WHO) which classifies intra-lobular breast neoplasia into three grades: LIN1, LIN2, LIN3. Lobular neoplasias are considered indicators of risk of invasive cancer. Progress in immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics and molecular biology, made it possible to better understand these lesions separating lesions that can be considered as simple breast cancer risk markers (LIN 1, LIN 2, LIN 3 type I) from those that correspond to true precursors of breast cancer (LIN 3 types II and III ). The management varies according to the histological type. The early diagnosis of these lesions thanks to the screening as well as a good management could help reduce the incidence of breast cancer.

Trauma remains one of the principal causes of mortality in the world,
especially among young adults. The most serious immediate life-threatening
complication following maxillofacial trauma is airway obstruction. The onset can be
sudden, as with foreign body aspiration, or following soft-tissue damage that can lead at
a later stage to airway-compromising edema. The medical literature regarding facial
trauma appears to support the hypothesis that maxillofacial trauma alone is rarely life
threatening or will not lead to life-threatening conditions unless associated with airway
compromise. There are some causes of life threatening complications following trauma
to the maxillofacial region such as massive bleeding or undiagnosed cervical spine
injury. However, there are some situations that may cause irreversible damage unless
immediate operation is undertaken. The almost complete lack of reports dealing with
death or irreversible damage in trauma involving the maxillofacial region prompted us to
review the mortality following trauma to the maxillofacial region.

The Freedom to Withdraw from Political Party Membership in the Ethiopian Law: A Case Based Analysis

10.36348/sijlcj.2018.v01i03.003
One of the fundamental rights the FDRE Constitution acknowledges is the freedom of political party membership. To this effect, the Revised Political Parties Registration Proclamation, which regulates the details of political party membership, allows a political party member to withdraw from membership at any time. It does not provide for any formality. However, the Cassation Bench of the Federal Supreme Court has decided in Unity for Justice and Democracy Party v Blue Party (File No.112091, decided on 06 May 2015 (Miyazia 28, 2007 E.C.) that a political party member cannot withdraw and be a member of another political party without notifying the former political party in writing. This case comment examines the appropriateness of this decision from the perspective of the right to political party membership. The case comment analyses the constitutional and legal provisions pertinent to the right to political party membership in Ethiopia. Relevant provisions of international human rights instruments are also explored. To share a lesson from comparative experience, the experience of the Israeli and Kenyan legal systems is examined. This author argues that the law does not require a written withdrawal notice. This enables a political party member to terminate his/her membership not only with written withdrawal notice rather by all other possible ways, including by taking new membership in another political party.
