“Dangote Is An Institution, How We Treat Him Will Determine How Outsiders Will Judge Us” — VP Shettima Warns PENGASSAN

Vice President Kashim Shettima has called on Nigerians to respect and protect the multibillion-dollar investment of Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, describing it as essential to the nation’s economic stability and growth.

When Aides Become An Embarrassment To Governance: The Case Of Abia’s Financial Illiteracy

When Aides Become An Embarrassment To Governance: The Case Of Abia’s Financial Illiteracy

Abia State, News, Opinion, Politics, ,
By Obinna Oriaku The Deputy Speaker was absolutely right when he stated that Abia State receives about ₦38 billion monthly, according to the state’s own Quarter 2, 2025 Budget Performance Report.

The Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) disbursement represents only funds shared from the federation account. However, total revenue goes beyond FAAC, it includes…

Press Release The attention of Abia State government has been drawn to a trending video that contained a statement made by the House of Representatives Member for Bende Federal Constituency and Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon Benjamin Kalu wherein he made some spurious allegations over the performance of the Alex Otti government and further made infantile comparison between the Governor and his two immediate predecessors.
