UPDATED: NAF redeploys senior officers for operational efficiency

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on Friday deployed several senior officers in a strategic move aimed at enhancing operational efficiency, fostering greater synergy, and aligning the Service’s structure with the command philosophy of the newly appointed Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke.

This was contained in a statement made available to Defence Correspondents in Abuja by the Spokesperson of the Service, Air Commodore Ehimen.

According to it, the exercise, approved by the CAS, affected key appointments at Headquarters NAF, field commands, and units. It forms part of the ongoing efforts to optimise command effectiveness, improve decision-making processes, and reinforce mission readiness in line with the evolving security environment.

Some of the key appointments affected by the redeployment include several senior officers now assigned to critical command and staff positions across the Service.

Air Vice Marshal (AVM) Abubakar Abdullahi has been appointed Chief of Policy and Plans, while AVM Adeniran Ademuwagun assumes duty as Commandant, Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), Kaduna.

According to it, ‘Similarly, AVM Ibitayo Ajiboye has been named Group Managing Director, Nigerian Air Force Investment Limited (NAFIL) Group of Companies. AVM Precious Amadi takes over as Chief of Operations, and AVM Nnamdi Ananaba becomes Chief of Air Intelligence.

‘AVM Ebimobo Ebiowe has been appointed Superintendent of Standards and Evaluation, while AVM Ahmed Dari now serves as Chief of Training. The Transformation and Innovation Branch will be headed by AVM Mohammed Ibrahim, reflecting the Service’s growing focus on technological advancement and efficiency.’

It added that in the logistics and engineering domains, AVM Olufemi Ogunsina has been appointed Chief of Aircraft Engineering, and AVM Michael Onyebashi assumes command as Air Officer Commanding (AOC), Mobility Command. AVM David Pwajok is now Chief of Communication and Information Systems, while AVM John Ukeh takes charge as Air Provost Marshal.

Further reinforcing NAF’s administrative and welfare structures, AVM Simon Peter has been appointed Managing Director, NAFIL Housing and Construction Company, while AVM Chidiebere Obiabaka becomes Air Secretary. AVM Anthony Martins now serves as Chief of Administration, AVM Abubakar Sule takes over as AOC, Logistics Command, and AVM Abdulrasheed Kotun has been appointed Managing Director, NAF Farms.

The new Chief of Civil-Military Relations is AVM Edward Gabkwet, while AVM Osichinaka Ubadike has been named Deputy Commandant, AFIT.

Additionally, several other senior officers, including AVMs Ahmed Bakari, Albert Bot, Idi Sani, Muhammed Suleiman, Jibrin Usman, and Japheht Ekwuribe, have been redeployed to various defence and inter-service establishments in line with ongoing efforts to strengthen joint operations and national defence coordination.

The Nigerian Air Force described the reshuffle as a strategic measure to ensure balanced leadership, enhance institutional effectiveness, and sustain the momentum of transformation under the new administration of Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke.

With this new wave of appointments, the Nigerian Air Force is poised to consolidate its achievements and usher in an era of smarter, more adaptive air operations, one that reflects the CAS’s vision of a force built not merely for power, but for purpose, protection, and progress.

AA collapses structure into APC in Ondo

The Progressives Network for Tinubu (PNT) has reaffirmed its commitment to consolidating the progressive movement and strengthening grassroots participation in Ondo State politics following the formal defection of the entire structure of the Action Alliance (AA) into the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking during the defection ceremony in Akure, the Director-General of PNT, Pastor Olumide Obadele, described the merger as a strategic milestone in the group’s mission to unify progressive forces across the Southwest ahead of future elections.

Obadele commended the leadership of the APC in the state for maintaining internal cohesion and acknowledged the support of the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, whom he credited for fostering synergy and promoting development-driven politics.

He disclosed that the network was intensifying grassroots mobilisation with a target of delivering over one million votes for the APC in the coming elections through youth engagement, voter education, and community sensitisation.

Speaking during the defection, the former State Chairman of AA and the 2024 governorship candidate, Comrade Fred Akinuli, said the integration of the AA structure aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and PNT’s vision of inclusive political engagement.

Akinuli, who now serves as Deputy Director-General of PNT, said his defection was both ideological and personal, noting that it marked a new chapter in his 20-year political journey.

Receiving the defectors, the APC State Chairman, Engr. Ade Adetimehin, described the move as ‘a boost to the party’s strength and unity,’ urging the new members to return to their wards and work for the growth of the party.

He said, ‘APC is a progressive and welfarist party. We are one united family and open to people of good intentions who are ready to work for the success of the party and the development of our state.’

Adetimehin urged the new members to demonstrate loyalty, discipline, and commitment to the ideals of the progressive family, adding that the APC remains the only platform with a clear vision and structure to deliver sustainable development in the state and Nigeria at large.

He commended the defectors for taking what he described as ‘a wise and timely decision,’ assuring them of equal opportunities and inclusion in the affairs of the party.

According to him, the APC in Ondo State under his leadership will continue to strengthen internal democracy, reward dedication, and promote unity ahead of future elections.

He also called on party leaders at all levels to guide and integrate the new members to ensure smooth collaboration in grassroots mobilisation efforts.

The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, expressed optimism that Ondo State would deliver over 90 per cent of votes for President Tinubu in the next presidential election, up from the 68 per cent previously recorded.

Represented by the Director-General of the Asiwaju Mandate Group, Hon. Olumuyiwa Asagunla, he said the defection marks a fresh phase of consolidation for the ruling APC as it prepares for future electoral contests in Ondo State.

Other notable party leaders at the event included Mrs. Atinuke Akadiri, State Woman Leader; Hon. Agboola Kelly, party elder; Hon. Yusuf Ogunleye, Director-General of Grassroots Movement for Tinubu; and Hon. Dayo Awude.

Why I invited Akpabio for project commissioning Senator Natasha

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, says her invitation to Senate President Godswill Akpabio and other lawmakers to attend project commissioning in her constituency was in line with legislative protocol.

The lawmaker explained that she followed due parliamentary process by routing her invitation through the presiding officer, as required by Senate procedure, and requested that it be read officially on the floor of the chamber.

‘Today, as is customary for announcements of such nature, I wrote a letter to the Senate through the presiding officer to the Senate President to read on the floor,’ she said in a statement on Thursday.

Akpoti-Uduaghan, who marks her second year in office this week, barely two months after being reinstated from suspension, said the move was to ensure inclusivity and transparency in her activities as a legislator.

‘I put out the invitation so it wouldn’t seem like I was celebrating in isolation. I’m a progressive person. Even with ongoing court cases, I continue to carry out my duties in the chamber and follow proper procedures,’ she added.

She noted that her decision underscored her respect for institutional norms and commitment to due process, stressing that the commissioning ceremonies were about public service and community development, not personal recognition.

15% fuel tax: Tinubu insensitive to people’s suffering ADC

The African Democratic Congress has dismissed as false claim to economic patriotism the Bola Tinubu administration stance to discourage fuel importation amidst 60 percent shortfall in local supply.

The party in its response to a 15 percent import duty on petrol and diesel declared that the tariff will further deepen the economic hardship for Nigerians already burdened by the astronomically high cost of living.

A statement signed by Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, National Publicity Secretary of the ADC, maintained that ‘a government that cannot run its own refineries has no business taxing those who keep the country running with their sweat and blood.’

The opposition party submitted that while it supports private investments in the energy sector, policies meant to protect such investments must also protect the people and put their interests first.

The full statement read: ‘The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is deeply concerned by the recent decision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to approve a 15% import duty on petrol and diesel. Coming at a time when Nigerians are already suffocating under the weight of Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda,’ this fuel tax is both insensitive and misguided, and makes one wonder if the APC government ever considers the pains that its policies have continued to inflict on the people.

‘From all indications, this new levy is likely to push the pump price of petrol beyond N1,000 per litre. If this happens, life would become even more unbearable for families, commuters, transporters, farmers, and small businesses already struggling under the weight of fuel subsidy removal without social protection and currency devaluation without safeguards.

‘What has become clear is that the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda is, at best, a trial-and-error system and, at worst, a cynical, self-serving agenda that has no consideration for the ordinary people of Nigeria.

‘While the government continues to push the narrative of economic progress, food, rent, and transport not to talk of school fees continue to be priced out of the reach of ordinary Nigerians. If the government continues with this latest tax attack, it would further compound the people’s suffering.

‘The ADC therefore firmly opposes this ill-conceived import duty and warns the government not to push the people to the wall. We demand that it be reversed immediately. Nigerians deserve a government that plans, not one that panics. A government that cannot run its own refineries has no business taxing those who keep the country running with their sweat and blood.

‘President Tinubu must understand that economic patriotism cannot be enforced through pain. While we support private investments in the energy sector, we oppose any policy that could inflict more pain on Nigerians. If the goal is energy security and domestic refining, let there first be transparent investment in local capacity. Until then, any tax imposed to discourage import will only lead to people paying more for imported fuel, which still stands at 60% of supply a gap that cannot be substituted overnight.’

NAF redeploys 27 senior officers in major command reshuffle

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), has approved the redeployment of 27 senior officers in the rank of Air Vice Marshal (AVM) as part of a new command restructuring approved by the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke.

The reshuffle, which takes immediate effect, marks the first major reorganisation under Air Marshal Aneke’s leadership.

According to the Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, the move is designed to align NAF’s command structure with ongoing defence reforms and national security priorities while improving efficiency across operational and administrative levels.

Ejodame said the redeployment underscores the CAS’s focus on faster decision-making, improved mission readiness, and stronger accountability at all command tiers.

Under the new arrangement, AVM Abubakar Abdullahi becomes Chief of Policy and Plans at the Air Force Headquarters, while AVM Adeniran Ademuwagun assumes duty as Commandant of the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), Kaduna. AVM Ibitayo Ajiboye has been appointed Group Managing Director of the Nigerian Air Force Investment Limited (NAFIL).

In the operations and intelligence directorates, AVM Precious Amadi now heads Operations, and AVM Nnamdi Ananaba takes charge as Chief of Air Intelligence.

AVM Ebimobo Ebiowe will oversee Standards and Evaluation, and AVM Ahmed Dari now serves as Chief of Training.

AVM Mohammed Ibrahim leads the Transformation and Innovation Branch, reflecting NAF’s growing focus on technological advancement and digital readiness.

In the technical and logistics commands, AVM Olufemi Ogunsina becomes Chief of Aircraft Engineering, and AVM Michael Onyebashi takes over as Air Officer Commanding, Mobility Command.

AVM David Pwajok now heads Communication and Information Systems, while AVM John Ukeh assumes the role of Air Provost Marshal, overseeing internal security enforcement.

Administrative postings include AVM Simon Peter as Managing Director of NAFIL Housing and Construction Company, and AVM Chidiebere Obiabaka as Air Secretary at the headquarters.

AVM Anthony Martins becomes Chief of Administration, while AVM Abubakar Sule assumes duty as Air Officer Commanding, Logistics Command.

AVM Abdulrasheed Kotun now leads NAF Farms as Managing Director, and AVM Edward Gabkwet has been appointed Chief of Civil-Military Relations. AVM Osichinaka Ubadike will serve as Deputy Commandant of AFIT, Kaduna.

Other officers affected include AVMs Ahmed Bakari, Albert Bot, Idi Sani, Muhammed Suleiman, Jibrin Usman, and Japheht Ekwuribe, who have been posted to various defence and joint service institutions to strengthen inter-agency coordination.

Air Marshal Aneke described the redeployment as a strategic measure to promote leadership balance, enhance institutional stability, and sustain the momentum of ongoing reforms.

He said the reorganization will consolidate operational experience, improve cross-command collaboration, and help build a more adaptive, intelligence-driven force capable of responding to Nigeria’s evolving security challenges.

The announcement comes less than 24 hours after the Nigerian Army redeployed 27 senior officers, including 25 Major Generals and two Brigadier Generals.

Walson-Jack inaugurates committee for 2026 ICSC

The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HCSF), Mrs Didi Walson-Jack, has inaugurated the Steering and Local Organising Committees for the 2026 International Civil Service Conference (ICSC) in a strategic move to advance institutional reforms and build upon the success of its inaugural edition.

Speaking during the inauguration in Abuja, Walson-Jack said this was a critical step in the sustained mission to position the Nigerian Civil Service as a globally competitive and benchmarked institution.

Reflecting on the landmark 2025 conference, Mrs Walson-Jack acknowledged that it set a new standard for international engagement and knowledge exchange among public administrators.

She commended the previous planning committees and partners for their professionalism and dedication, which were instrumental to the event’s success.

Director, Press and Public Relations, Mrs Eno Olotu, in a statement on Friday, said the Head of Service further noted that the lessons learned from the 2025 conference have been systematically captured in a newly developed International Civil Service Conference Manual.

This comprehensive guide establishes standardised procedures, governance structures, and performance metrics to ensure consistency, transparency, and excellence in all future editions.

Outlining the committees’ structure, the HCSF stated that the Steering Committee, which she will chair, is tasked with providing high-level policy direction, oversight, and resource mobilisation.

Its core mandate is to align the conference’s objectives with national reform priorities and ensure transparent financial management.

The Local Organising Committee (LOC), chaired by Dr Deborah Odoh, Permanent Secretary of the Service Policies and Strategies Office (SPSO), will serve as the operational engine for the conference.

The LOC is responsible for translating strategic directives into actionable plans, managing logistics, stakeholder engagement, media and publicity, and the overall execution of conference activities.

Mrs Walson-Jack charged both committees to commence work immediately, emphasising the strategic and transformative nature of their task. She urged members to leverage their professionalism, dedication, and teamwork, assured by a clear institutional framework and the full support of her Office.

In her welcome remarks, Dr Deborah Odoh praised the HCSF’s visionary leadership, which she said has fostered a culture of creativity, inclusivity, and professional excellence within the Federal Civil Service.

She highlighted the ICSC as a unifying platform for civil servants across all levels to share experiences and demonstrate the strength of Nigeria’s public institutions.

Responding on behalf of the committees, the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation, Mr Chinasa Ogbodo, thanked the HCSF for the confidence reposed in them.

He assured that the committees would diligently uphold their mandates and the high standards set by the previous conference.

The ceremony concluded with a reinforced commitment among participants to the principles of transparency, collaboration, and service excellence that underpin the ongoing reform agenda of the Nigerian Civil Service.

Over 34 million Nigerians at risk of food crisis in 27 states by mid-2026 Report

About 34.7 million Nigerians across 27 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) are projected to face a severe food and nutrition crisis between June and August 2026, according to the latest Cadre Harmonisé (CH) food insecurity report released on Friday in Abuja.

The report, presented at the Results Presentation Workshop on the October 2025 Cadre Harmonisé Food and Nutrition Insecurity Analysis for Nigeria, revealed that an estimated 27.2 million people, including over 485,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs), are already in crisis or worse phases of food insecurity from October to December 2025.

The Cadre Harmonisé is a report by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security with technical support from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and other partners.

Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, Dr. Marcus Ogunbiyi, who declared the workshop open, described the findings as a wake-up call for urgent and coordinated action to prevent a deepening food crisis in 2026.

‘The results we are examining today go beyond data, they speak to the realities of millions of Nigerian households, especially those in vulnerable and crisis-affected areas. We must treat these findings as a call to sustained and coordinated action,’ Ogunbiyi said.

According to the CH analysis, while inflation and consumer price index (CPI) rates eased slightly in the current period, food insecurity remains widespread.

Over 55 percent of households that managed to maintain acceptable food consumption levels did so by eating fewer quality meals, reducing portions, or borrowing money to buy food.

The report attributes persistently high food prices especially for essential items such as vegetable oil, dairy products, meat, and condiments, which rose by over 35 percent to the naira-dollar exchange rate and high transport costs.

‘Even though staple food prices have stabilized somewhat, the cost of complementary food items and services such as food haulage remains high. This has increased household food expenditure and eroded purchasing power,’ the report noted.

The CH findings show that insecurity, high input costs, and weak rural economies continue to undermine agricultural livelihoods. Farmers across the North-East, North-West, and parts of the North-Central region faced restricted access to land due to insurgency, banditry, and kidnapping.

The report highlighted that the high cost of fertilizers and agrochemicals, which surged by 56 percent, discouraged many farmers from participating in the upcoming 2025/2026 dry season farming.

Government food import programs, while easing consumer prices, have also hurt local farmers, leading to heavy losses in the 2025 cropping season.

The nutrition situation in parts of Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Katsina, and Jigawa has reached alarming levels. The report classified most of the North-East and North-West as being in Serious (Phase 3) to Critical (Phase 4) nutrition conditions.

In Borno State, areas such as Maiduguri, Jere, and Mobbar are among those facing critical levels of acute malnutrition, while Katsina’s Jibia and Mashi LGAs have also crossed into the emergency phase.

Despite these grim realities, Benue State’s IDP camps in Makurdi and Guma recorded Acceptable to Alert nutrition levels, showing some improvement due to targeted interventions.

While most areas in the North-East and North-West recorded low mortality levels, the CH report warns that crisis-level deaths (Phase 3) have been observed in Central and Northern Borno, Southern Adamawa, and Eastern Sokoto, among others.

Emergency-level mortality (Phase 4) was also reported in Eastern Borno and Northern Adamawa, raising humanitarian concerns.

The report identifies four main drivers of the worsening food and nutrition crisis, which include insecurity with components such as insurgency, kidnapping, and banditry disrupting rural livelihoods.

Other key drivers are government food imports undermining local agricultural economies; climate shocks such as floods and prolonged dry spells distorting cropping systems; and high displacement rates resulting from both conflict and natural disasters.

The FAO Representative for Nigeria and ECOWAS, Dr. Hussein Gadain, commended Nigeria for a decade of commitment to the CH process but cautioned that the findings demand an immediate, multi-sectoral response.

‘Conflict, climate extremes, and economic pressures are undermining livelihoods and food systems across the country. The Cadre Harmonisé remains our most relevant early warning tool for guiding humanitarian and development responses,’ Gadain said.

He urged states yet to join the CH process to do so before the March 2026 cycle to ensure nationwide coverage and more comprehensive data.

Both officials reaffirmed that the CH data will guide the implementation of key government initiatives, including the National Agricultural Growth Scheme and Agro-Pocket (NAGS-AP) and the National Food Security and Nutrition Emergency Plan.

We’ve made prompt pension payment permanent culture Aiyedatiwa

Ondo Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has reiterated his administration’s commitment to the welfare of pensioners, declaring that the state has made prompt payment of pensions a permanent culture.

Aiyedatiwa, who made the declaration at the 2025 Pensioners’ Day celebration held at the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) State Secretariat in Akure, said retirees deserve peace of mind and regular income after years of selfless service to the state and nation.

Represented by his Chief of Staff, Mr. Olusegun Omojuwa, the governor described pensioners as custodians of collective memory and silent architects of the state’s public institutions, noting that their sacrifices laid the foundation for today’s development.

He said, ‘From day one, we took a solemn stand to bring humanity into governance. Every pensioner deserves peace of mind and regular income after years of selfless service. That is why we’ve made prompt payment of pensions a permanent culture’.

The Governor disclosed that his administration had released ?2.396 billion for the payment of gratuities to verified retirees of 2016 and 2017, in addition to ?2.2 billion paid in 2024 to cover retirees of 2015.

The governor added that over ?2 billion was recently released to clear outstanding arrears owed to local government pensioners across the state.

According to him, the state also approved an additional ?30,000 monthly allowance for retirees to cushion the effects of subsidy removal on senior citizens, describing the payments as acts of justice and compassion.

He said, ‘Every naira represents a lifetime of service. These payments are not acts of charity but of fairness and gratitude,’ he stated.

Aiyedatiwa assured that his government would continue to clear all outstanding arrears and integrate all registered pensioners into the Ondo State Contributory Health Scheme to ensure access to quality healthcare.

He also pledged to rehabilitate the access road leading to the NUP Secretariat as requested by the union, stressing that infrastructural improvements under his administration are designed to enhance the welfare and mobility of all citizens, including the elderly.

In his remarks, the State Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners, Comrade Johnson Osunyemi, hailed the Governor for what he described as an unprecedented commitment to pensioners’ welfare, saying Aiyedatiwa had ‘restored the dignity’ of retirees in the state.

Osunyemi said the administration had implemented the 30 percent pension harmonization, raised the minimum pension to ?30,000, and ensured that no pensioner earns below ?35,000 monthly.

He commended the government for consistent clearance of arrears dating back to 2010 and described Aiyedatiwa as ‘the pensioners’ loving governor.’

In appreciation, the pensioners conferred on Aiyedatiwa the title of Grand Patron of the union the first time such an honour would be bestowed on a sitting governor in the state.

The Minister of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, who chaired the event and was represented by former member of the state House of Assembly, Hon. Ifedayo Araoyinbo, lauded the contributions of retirees to national development.

The ceremony, which featured cultural displays and goodwill messages, was attended by hundreds of retirees, government officials, and labour leaders, including the Special Adviser to the Governor on Union Matters and Special Duties, Comrade Bola Taiwo, and the State Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Ademola Olapade, who all commended the governor’s record on pensioners’ welfare.

Anambra guber: APC will end APGA’s 19-year-old leadership Yilwatda

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has said that the party would end the 19-year-old reign of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra state in the forthcoming November 8, 2025, governorship election.

Yilwatda, who stated this on Friday at the All Saints Anglican Church Cathedral, Onitsha, during the party’s national governorship campaign rally for its candidate, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, said APC is a messenger of hope, and he is in Anambra to deliver that message of hope.

He said, ‘APC will uproot APGA within the remaining eight days and 196 hours to end their reign in this state. We in the APC cannot afford to allow APGA to continue to govern an important state like Anambra as an adopted son when we have our own son in the person of Ukachukwu.’

In his speech, Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, said APC, being the party at the centre, cannot afford to lose Anambra, a state with industrious citizens, this time around, adding that he would like the state to become the 25th APC-controlled state this time around.

Ukachukwu, the governorship candidate of APC, expressed optimism that the party will soon replace ‘APGA’s deceitful non-performance in the state’ with a high level of development in the near future.

He said, ‘We will soon replace insecurity, multiple taxation, corruption and non-performance and boasting with adequate security, steady power supply, industrial development and agricultural chain’.

Governor of Imo state and Chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum, Hope Uzodinma, assured the electorate in the state that their votes must count this time around.

Chief Basil Ejidike, State Chairman of APC and Hon. Arinze Awogu, national coordinator of Ikemba Front, one of the political structures of APC, in their separate remarks, expressed optimism that APC would take over Anambra Government House.

5 simple exercises to strengthen your pelvis and improve core health

The pelvis plays a vital role in stability, posture, movement, bladder and bowel control, and overall core strength.

Weakness in this region can lead to urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, back strain, and discomfort during exercise.

Health experts say that strengthening the pelvic muscles not only improves stability and reduces the risk of injury but also supports recovery after childbirth, enhances posture, and contributes to overall sexual health.

Here are five simple exercises that can be done at home to build pelvic strength safely and effectively:

1. Kegel Exercises

These involve contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder, bowel, and uterus in women. Kegels help with urinary control and core stability. Beginners can start with short contractions of 3-5 seconds, gradually increasing to 8-10 seconds.

2. Bridges (Glute Bridges)

By lifting the hips while lying on the back with knees bent, bridges strengthen the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back, all of which support the pelvis and reduce discomfort.

3. Squats

A compound move that activates muscles around the pelvis, thighs, and core.

Squats improve stability and strength while supporting bladder control.

4. Seated Abdominal Bracing

This exercise engages deep core muscles, reducing back pain and enhancing pelvic stability.

It involves sitting upright, drawing the belly button gently toward the spine, and engaging the pelvic floor.

5. Pelvic Tilts

Performed by lying on your back with your knees bent, this exercise improves the flexibility and mobility of the pelvic and lower back muscles, helping to alleviate posture-related strain.

Experts recommend performing these exercises regularly, at least 3-5 times weekly, for noticeable results.

However, correct technique and consistency are crucial. If discomfort or pain occurs, it is advisable to consult a health professional.
