Governor Otti's example of rejecting awards while in office, a cheering decision worthy of emulation By Charles Ogugbuaja, Ph.D The issue of plaque tilted awards giving is becoming bastardized in Nigeria. In the United States where such activity was mostly copied has test of the time ratings. It is not also, incessant as we have in this country.

But two years on, many of us can now best describe him as 'a miracle' worker on account of what we now see as a spectacular Infrastructure quiet revolution…

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Politics
A Rebuttal to Baseless Accusations and Myopic Detractions It is with profound disdain that one must address the specious allegations and febrile invectives hurled against His Excellency, Governor Alex Otti, a leader whose governance is demonstrably anchored in transformative progress rather than the petty politicking of those who mistake cacophony for discourse.

Yet, for the sake of intellectual rigour and the sanctity of factual discourse, a measured demolition of these baseless assertions is warranted. The Empirical Foundation of GovernanceThe…
