By Nigerian Academic Excellence 



The Director General of Imo State Consumer Protection Council, CPC,  Hon. (Mrs) Obioma Okafor, Tuesday, destroyed fake and expired products seized by her Council at Avu Junction dump site, along Port Harcourt Road, Owerri.


Speaking on the occasion, Hon. Okafor stated that the agency will never relent in its efforts to ensure that Imolites are not shortchanged by shylock and mischievous traders that sell fake and expired products to unsuspecting consumers.



Mrs Okafor, who was accompanied by staff of the CPC, thanked the Governor, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, for giving her the opportunity to serve the people assuring that she will do her utmost to carry out the statutory obligations of the CPC effectively.


She said that the destruction of fake and expired products, which is the fourth since she assumed office will continue because it is the aim of the CPC, which she described as a spiritual agency, to save Imo lives.

WHY OHAKIM LOST RE-ELECTION AND WHY IT IS TIME FOR OWERRI ZONE TO PRODUCE THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF IMO STATE

By Ben AHANONU  Of late, there had been boisterous noise or rather bombastic postulations and imputations that are more like emotional outpouring than factual attestations from some quarters and by some notable individuals about why Chief Ikedi Ohakim (whose emergence as the Governor of Imo State under the banner of Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA), a party founded and funded by former Governor Orji Uzor Kalu, was like an act of providence due to the failure of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to produce a candidate for the election) lost the 2011 gubernatorial election despite the advantage of incumbency - yet I know that such subjective claims are smartly pointless and to no avail. You may recall that the then ruling PDP expelled Senator Ifeanyi Ararume, who won the party’s primaries after which the  PDP, in obedience to the Supreme Court ruling affirming Ararume’s candidacy, withdrew from the election thus paving the way for the realignment of forces that eventually bro...

By Ben AHANONU  The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is a mandatory, post-tertiary education scheme, established by Decree No. 24 of May 22nd, 1973,  by the military administration of Gowon as a post-civil war initiative aimed at promoting national unity and integration.  Since 1973, graduates of Nigerian universities, and polytechnics under the age of 30,  have been required to take part in the National Youth Service Corps programme for one year and Ahmadu Ali served as the first Director-General (DG) of the NYSC until 1975. The NYSC was established to promote national unity and patriotism, foster self-reliance, inculcate discipline, provide practical experience, and encourage community development among others but the question is to what extent has the aims been achieved in more than half a century of its existence? Objectively,  the concept of NYSC is fantastic but in practical terms, it is a disaster, given the fact that the scheme is bedevilled by system...
