Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Infrastructure
Governor Otti's Efforts to Address Years of Ukwa Neglect Ebere Uzoukwa, Ph.D Abia State's journey to redemption began on May 29, 2023, when Governor Alex Chioma Otti OFR took the reins, marking the end of the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) 24-year rule.

For nearly two and a half decades, the PDP's administration prioritized personal interests over the welfare of the people, leaving a trail of devastation and despair in its wake. Ukwa West's contribution to Abia's status as an oil-producing state is…

Breaking News!!!: Governor Otti Reportedly Struggling – By Dr. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Economy, Good Governance, Politics
Breaking News!!!: Governor Otti is reportedly struggling The rapidity of the Governor of Abia State on fostering collaboration between banks, financial institutions, and local businesses in Ohafia, Aba, and Umuahia, is amazing and the media isn't focusing so much attention on it.

Go, Akpabio Go – By Dr. Engr. Odo Ijere (Okpotemba)

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, National Assembly, Politics
GO, AKPABIO GO. Much to my earlier predictions and warnings on the ongoing Akpabio Natasha scandalous debacle at the Senate, the Senate President has now been dragged before the International Parliamentary Union by Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan. The stench of the Akpabio defecation is reeking internationally now as we speak. Akpabio's disgrace has become our collective disgrace.

Not for anything serious as usual with…
