  Igbo-Etiti Council Chairman Flags Off Fertilizer, Farm Inputs Distribution. The Chairman of Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area, Dr. Eric Odo has flagged off the distribution of fertilizer and other farm inputs to farmers in the council area. Speaking during the flag-off ceremony on Monday in Ogbede, Odo commended Governor Peter Mbah for initiating the programme aimed at supporting farmers in rural communities.  He noted that the intervention will help boost agricultural productivity and enhance food security in the state.

 Enugu North APC group seeks ministerial slot, decries 26 years of exclusion. The All Progressives Congress (APC) Frontiers in Enugu North Senatorial Zone has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to appoint an indigene of the area as minister, lamenting that the zone has never produced one since Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1999. In a statement titled “A Humble Request for You to Break the Jinx” jointly signed by the group’s National Convener, Ejikeme Ugwu (Agunechemba), and National Secretary, Sydney Eze, the group described the situation as “a clear manifestation of marginalization and lack of fairness.” According to them, while Enugu West has produced four ministers (57%) and Enugu East three (43%) since 1999, Enugu North has had none, despite constituting over 52 percent of the state’s population. The group argued that their zone has consistently supported the APC and nurtured the party’s growth in Enugu, stressing that many qualified professionals, technocrats, and loyal memb...

In every generation, certain individuals stand out not only because of their professional excellence, but also because of their amazing selfless service to humanity. Dr. Eric Odo is one of such rare individuals whose actions always speak louder than words by his practical demonstration of true love to all and sundry. His story is not just about success in medicine or leadership; it is about compassion, brotherhood and genuine concern for the welfare of others. My personal encounter with Dr. Eric Odo revealed who he truly is beyond the walls of his profession. It all began when my younger brother (Chiedozie Aniaku) was involved in a ghastly road accident in Aku, our hometown, in Igbo Etiti Local Government Area. It was a moment of fear, confusion, and urgency to save his life.  From Aku, we were referred under emergency to Parklane hospital, Enugu. And from there, we were transferred to Merfyms hospital, Enugu. And finally to UNTH (University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital) Enugu. The...
