Chief Ekene Ekpete: Happy Independence Day Celebration



Happy Independence Day to the good people of Enugu, especially my fellow citizens of Aninri Local Government Area. Today, we commemorate 65 years of Nigeria's independence, and it's a momentous occasion to reflect on our journey as a nation.


As we celebrate, let's remember the sacrifices of our forebears who fought tirelessly for our freedom. Their legacy serves as a reminder of our responsibility to build a better Nigeria for ourselves and future generations.


To my fellow citizens of Aninri, I urge you to embody the spirit of patriotism by supporting the administration of His Excellency Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah. Let's work together to drive progress and development in our local government area.


By embracing these values, we can build a stronger, more prosperous Aninri Local Government Area. I wish you all a happy Independence Day, filled with hope and promise for a brighter future.


From Chief Ekene Ekpete Onodugo 1 of Ohaofia Ndumeze Kingdom Oduma.

Odumegwu Ojukwu University VC appointment: Where Is Justice, Where Is Merit in Soludo’s “Light of the Nation?

By Ekene Okoye The Anambra State government prides itself on being the “Light of the Nation”, a shining symbol of justice, fairness, and merit. Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, the state’s chief advocate of reform, often stresses transparency and integrity as guiding principles of his administration.

That exercise, meant to produce three Senate representatives for the Joint Council/Se...
