Abia State, Good Governance, News Flash
INDEED, FAILURE IS AN ORPHAN By Kazie Uko The social media space has been fouled with jaundiced opinions and spurious accounts by glory seekers since the successful inauguration of the Geometric Power plant in Aba, the commercial nerve of Abia State, on February 26, 2024.
