Beyond School Resumption: Building Apt Environment For Learning

By Fred Nwaozor The last time I checked, the schoolchildren across Nigeria had graciously returned to their respective classrooms after the long vacation.

Enugu House members defect to APC

Ken Akpan

After the 2023 general elections, the LP won seven of the eight House of Representatives seats in Enugu State, while the PDP secured one.

With the latest development, the APC now controls the entire Enugu caucus in the Federal House.
