For Akpabio, A Word Should Be Enough For The Wise - By Azuh Arinze In my own estimation, Godswill Obot Akpabio, Nigeria's Senate President, should be the luckiest politician ever from Akwa Ibom State. An average lawyer before politics beckoned, he has since gone ahead to serve as a commissioner, governor, minister, and now the No. 3 citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Power Struggle: Aba’s Factories Light Up But Can’t Afford the BillsDespite Geometric Power’s grid, 88% of Ariaria manufacturers battle soaring tariffs—will Governor Otti flip the switch? Aba, April 1st, 2025 — A groundbreaking field report on Ariaria Market’s manufacturers reveals a stark paradox: while the Geometric Power Plant has stabilized electricity supply, 88% of small-scale factories now face crippling tariff hikes, with monthly bills soaring by 35–50%. We advice that without some kind of state intervention, Aba’s famed “Japan of Africa” industrial ecosystem risks collapse.
