 By Cajetan Duke In an august gathering with the presence of no fewer than four state governors, deputy governors, high-ranking government officials, top captains of industry, as well as entrepreneurial giants., which was marked by an aura of significance and importance, and  serving  as a confluence of political, administrative, and corporate luminaries, who gathered at the instance of the board, management and staff of the New Telegraph Publishing Company Ltd, the publishers of Daily Telegraph newspapers, for her 2023 Award ceremony.

By Ben AHANONU  One of the hallmarks of a great leader is his/her ability to identify the needs of the people and conceptualize policies, development projects and programmes towards solving those needs. In addition, creation of employment opportunities in robust partnership with the private sector is a top priority for nearly every people - oriented government, especially in countries with large unemployed and underemployed youth populations; while, the main economic objective of every purposeful country or state is to generate, supply and distribute enough electricity to power its economy. However, irregular power supply and skyrocketing cost of electricity are hurting businesses in Nigeria - impacting negatively on the economy and invariably hampering the ability of the government and the private sector to create meaningful employment opportunities. In fact, it cannot be overemphasized that businesses need electricity to function, grow, create employment and other opportunities f...

  By Ben AHANONU  " Iro-na Hope oru, iga amamma di egwu, mana igba Hope okwu, igadi nkirikankrika, nkirikankrika, mgbe ahu ijoor njo di egwu, iyie chimpanzee." The foregoing popular Igbo chorus often sang at political gatherings (and which when translated into English means that those who work for Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma are fortunate and always blessed while those that work against him are eclipsed and attenuated by poverty and tormented by hardship to the point they look like chimpanzee), lends credence to the mystical quality of Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma and part of what stands him out as a great and visionary leader. The word mystic is always misconstrued by some people especially the make-believe "puritans," religious fanatics and so-called "rapturables," whose acts and deeds make them so heavy to fly for the rapture. Mystic or mystical within this context is not related to magic or having magical powers, especially of a secret, ...

  ..Rolls out 15-point agenda The Governor of Imo State, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, has vowed to leave a legacy of sustainable prosperity, development, peace and industrialization by the end of his tenure that will stand the test of time. Governor Uzodimma stated this during the valedictory session with his expanded executive council and other appointees of the government in Owerri recently. He assured Imo people that his administration will continue to deliver dividends of democracy and called for their support in the efforts to move Imo forward. Recall that Governor Uzodimma recently dissolved his cabinet for the first term of office in keeping with the provisions of the Constitution. In a similar vein, Governor Uzodimma has rolled out a 15 - point agenda for his second term of office. His words: "My priority areas going forward will be on 15 critical sectors needed for the sustainable development of Imo State.This will be in tandem with my 3R mantra and the 10-year De...

                       Gov. Uzodimma  By Ben AHANONU My attention and indeed that of numerous loyal appointees of the Shared Prosperity Administration of Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, especially the Special Advisers (SAs) that were appointed earlier this year, have been drawn to the false, defamatory, loathsome and objectionable main story in the Friday, July 7, 2023 issue of the Trumpeta tabloid newspaper. Ordinarily, I would have ignored that poorly written story because it is clearly a mere fabrication by the opposition - People's Democratic Party (PDP) in conjunction with sworn enemies of the Shared Prosperity Administration but for the sake of unsuspecting Imo people, who might be misled by such grievous disinformation, I felt compelled to issue this rebuttal. One thing incontrovertible about the story is that it is as useless as trash, speculative posturing, part of an integrated smear campaign of the implodin...

  By Ben AHANONU  In the long and somehow checkered history of humanity on Earth, every great accomplishment started with a dream and when the Americans talk about "American Dream," it is about their desire to rule and subdue the world by mastering uncharted paths and creating something out of nothing through uncommon ingenuity.  That was how the United States of America became the first country in the world, to conceive and manufacture "atomic bomb," though with dangerous consequences but efficient enough to end a raging Second World War that wanted to exterminate normal human existence on Earth as the defeated Nazis and their allies like fascist Italy and militarist Japan then wanted to enslave humanity. It was the same "Dream," that landed the legendary astronaut Neil Armstrong on the Lunar surface. On July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM) pilot Buzz Aldrin became the first human beings to land on the Moon, and the next day they spent...
