Abia State, Ohafia, Opinion, Politics2023, Abia State, Next Level, Nigeria, Politics, Ukpai Iro Ukpai

I have volunteered myself for the service of HUMANITY and to salvage my State - Abia from the shackles of bad leadership, disjointed governance system and distorted political cum administrative brouhaha. I have been trying to generate answers that I will give to my children and generations yet unborn at the end of time, when they will ask me: Dad, Grand Dad, where were you when our God's Own State was being governed by career politicians without compass and with defective bearing, to the extent that Abia State had been consigned to the gabbage heap of forgotten states? In order…

By Awa Kalu I first met the late Professor U.U Uche, when I was a young lecturer at the University of Lagos. Prof, as I later learned to call him, had recently returned from his stint in various capacities overseas. He had just established legal practice with late Chief Ojo Maduekwe( who himself later flourished in various capacities) in the firm name, U.U Uche & Associates. That first meeting was occasioned by the late Emeka Ezera, who as a postgraduate student at Harvard University, had come on a visit to Nigeria. Emeka walked into my office while I was reading…

Good governance is a function of individual traits and their peculiar dynamism - the psychological, mental, social, intellectual, spiritual and other make ups of…
