One Good Tenure Deserves Another: Educational Revival – How Rt. Hon. Obi Aguocha Rescued A Failing System

One Good Tenure Deserves Another: Educational Revival – How Rt. Hon. Obi Aguocha Rescued A Failing System

National Assembly, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Education
EDUCATION REVIVAL: HOW RT.HON.OBINNA AGUOCHA RESCUED A FAILING SYSTEM For many years, the education system in Ikwuano Umuahia Federal Constituency was in a state of deep neglect. Dilapidated school buildings, poorly equipped laboratories, and the inability of students to sustain academic progression painted a bleak picture. In some communities, education had almost lost its value, as generations of students were unable to complete basic secondary schooling due to financial constraints. It is against this troubling backdrop that the intervention of Rt .Hon. Obinna Aguocha)Ogwumabiri Ibeku) stands out as both timely and transformative. Without exaggeration, the region’s education sector was on…

Our Best For Abia North 2027: Rt. Hon. Uko Nkole By All Standard Has Shown Humility, Charisma, Capacity, Pedigree And Experience Above Others

Abia North, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Personality, Politics
The Nkole We Believe In...We Rally Around (Part 2) One vital thing that matters to me, as well as most discerning minds are the objectives pursued by most people, especially political leaders. The aims, objectives and agendas pursued by a political leader affects the way the people from the wider world perceive the led...the constituents. It affects the way people from other climes view or define you. Whether you are in the community, in the city, in the diaspora and any place at all, most times, your friends, colleagues, associates and those that know you well always place you from…

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance
EKE O AKO CAUGHT BY HIS OWN NUMBERS: 2023–2025 ‘OTTI MARGINALISATION’ POST SAYS ZERO WHERE ITS OWN TABLE RECORDS MILLIONS A viral post by Eke O Ako, published on 28 September 2026, asks whether Governor Alex Otti is “marginalising Ukwa-Ngwa” and presents selected capital-expenditure figures for 2023, 2024 and 2025 as proof. But the argument runs into a basic problem: some of the strongest claims in the write-up are contradicted by the figures displayed in the same post. FIRST CONTRADICTION: UGWUNAGBO Eke O Ako writes: “Ugwunagbo got absolutely nothing.” Yet the graphic attached to his own post lists: Ugwunagbo —…

Politics Without Barriers: Otti Orders Unhindered Campaign Access In Abia- By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
POLITICS WITHOUT BARRIERS: OTTI ORDERS UNHINDERED CAMPAIGN ACCESS IN ABIA By AProf. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke As Nigeria gradually moves deeper into the political season preceding the 2027 general elections, one of the more consequential questions will not simply be who contests, but whether those who contest will be permitted to campaign freely, peacefully and on substantially equal terms.
