Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Crime, Good Governance, News Flash, Security
Political Critique: Is Governor Otti's Inaugural Promises a Far Cry from Reality in terms of Security?

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Politics
Revisitng the Abia pension debacle: The dramatic U-turn, half-truths and blackmail By Eagle Okoro Brief Background History of Abia Pension Crisis The crisis of irregular payment of pensions to Abia retirees can easily be traced to the inglorious, dark days of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and, precisely, toward the winding down of the eight-year administration of former Gov. Theodore Ahamefula Orji, alias Ochendo, sometime around 2014. The strange development was dumbfounding to the affected retirees, who, naturally took it with incredible equanimity, confident that the experience was going to be shortlived.

Abia State: Matters Arising: The Opposition We Urgently Require – By Dr. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, News Flash
Abia State: Matters Arising: The Opposition we urgently require I have spent ample time reading, re-reading opposition materials on the spirit, motive and style of govenrernanace in Abia State. I came to a conclusion that more needs to be done. There seems to be a lack of creativity and imagination in their dear camp. Need I say more? Of course, I will. We all agree to the fact that Abia State, located in southeastern Nigeria, has its unique set of challenges and opportunities. In judiciously studying opposition articles scattered on every social media page, I have also come to the…
