Why Some Abians Do Not See A Strong Economy Nor Trust The Government – By Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Economy, News Flash
Why some Abians do not see a strong economy nor trust the government Abia State's economy is also influenced by psychological factors, national trends and development strategies. A decade-long stagnation in teachers' motivation due to unpaid salaries and sometimes zero compensation for retiring colleagues cultivated economic uncertainty, and diminishing trust in government support.

UKA LA AGADI IFU: A DECEITFUL TALE OF A FAILED BID TO HAVE HIS BROTHER IMPOSED AS COUNCILORSHIP CANDIDATE Our initial attitude was to ignore Mr. Chinedu Obilor (Iyierioba) and his poorly made video, but on a second thought, we felt that we should set the records straight.
