Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance

THE EAGLE HAS FINALLY LANDED IN ABIA STATE From the look of things, it seems like the Eagle has finally landed in Abia State which means that Abians can now breathe a sigh of relief after suffering for over 24 years due to bad governance.Regardless of our political affiliation, any Governor that performs well in the South Eastern part of Nigeria must be showcased and appreciated.

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OLD AND THE NEW ABIA IS THAT: In the Old Abia, hoodlums and thugs were used to carry out demolition of property, whereas in the new Abia, authorised professionals and officials of government agencies are used for such tasks. The Old Abia had no room for dialogue and round table conference or engagements. No room to feel the pulse of the people and no room for professional assessment, documentation and compensation. In the New Abia, there is consideration, compassion and compensation, and of course, projects are executed, but in the Old Abia, people were beaten up,…
