Ebonyi First Lady Uzoamaka Donates 3-Bedroom Apartment Each To 26 Widows
Ebonyi first lady Uzoamaka donates 3-bedroom apartment each to 26 widows. Mrs Nwifuru said, “This is in fulfilment of BERWO objective to uplift the lives of widows in the society. I am happy it’s achieved.’’
Twenty-six widows are to receive a three-bedroom bungalow from the Ebonyi State Government under its Widows’ Housing Project.
The gesture is through the governor’s wife, Uzoamaka Nwifuru’s foundation, Better Health for Rural Women, Children and Internally Displaced Persons (BERWO).
The projects provided the new homes to two widows in each of the 13 Local Government Areas of the state.
Two of the widows, Josephine Ekoyo from Ndiegu Azu Echara in Ikwo and Cecilia Ogbuinya from Amagu Onicha village in Abakaliki LGAs on Saturday during inauguration, lauded the programme.
Mrs Ekoyo, who received a key to the newly built home, told journalists she had lived in a shanty for several years.
“For years now, the old house fell and was rebuilt by friends and family members, until today,” Mrs Ekoyo said.
She thanked Mrs Nwifuru and the state government for their unconditional love towards vulnerable people in the state.
Another widow, Ogbuinya who lived in a shelter, lost six of her children.
Mrs Ogbuinya, also a new homeowner, could not hide her joy and thanked the governor’s wife for championing and rebuilding the lives of vulnerable women in the state.
Speaking during the event, the wife of the governor described the projects as a “dream come true” and a fulfilment of her pet project’s objective.
She expressed satisfaction towards the completion of the projects and reaffirmed her commitment to restoring hope and security to the widows.

Mr Ori added that the project was targeted at the most vulnerable groups in society.
He lauded the governor’s wife for her people-centred interventions and vision towards alleviating the plight of the downtrodden.

ADC Is Nigeria’s Only Reliable Political Party, Others Brought Insecurity, Hunger, Says Atiku
ADC Is Nigeria’s Only Reliable Political Party, Others Brought Insecurity, Hunger, Says Atiku
ADC is Nigeria’s only reliable political party, others brought insecurity, hunger, says Atiku. Former Vice-President Atiku Abubukar says the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is the only reliable political party in the country, noting that others have brought insecurity, hunger, poverty and unemployment.
Speaking in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba state, during the official opening of the ADC state secretariat, Abubakar said the party is ready for a 2027 victory but urged Nigerians to unite to rescue the nation.
He also asked Taraba residents to take part in the ongoing continuous voter registration exercise, adding that their participation is crucial to reversing Nigeria’s worsening hardship.
“I am in Taraba to inaugurate our new party office of the ADC, and I want you to hold the party with integrity,” Channels Television quoted Atiku as saying.
“Do not allow anybody to deceive you with any other party, because we have tasted other political parties, and they brought nothing but insecurity, hunger, poverty and unemployment. “The youths and women should know that we are doing this for them to have a better future, and I am holding on to their promise. “ADC will win Taraba state and win Nigeria as the only reliable political party.”

ADC Is Nigeria’s Only Reliable Political Party
Abubakar, who formally joined the ADC on Monday—17 months before the 2027 general election—said his experience across political platforms convinced him that the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other parties lack the capacity to rescue the country.
He resigned from the PDP on July 16, citing “irreconcilable differences” within the opposition party as his reason for leaving.

Akwa Ibom governor pledges commitment to tourism, blue economy development… commends Editi Effiong for projecting State’s tourism potentials
As part of his effort to encourage tourism and enhance the State’s blue economy, Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has reiterated his administration’s commitment to encourage and reward young professionals who are willing to collaborate with his administration in promoting the positive image of the State through the ARISE Agenda.
The Governor made this known while fielding questions from Government House correspondents shortly after embarking on inspection of a locale of a movie, “The Black Book 2” (Old Scores), at Ishiet Beach/Market in Uruan Local Government Area.
He commended the movie Producer and Director, Mr. Editi Effiong, for his talent, vision, inspiration, and creative ability to project the tourism potentials and boost the economy of the State.
Governor Eno charged young Akwa Ibomites to shun divisive tendencies, be inspired, and emulate the creative effort of successful Akwa Ibom sons and daughters by joining hands to develop the tourism and blue economy of the State.
“The impression is amazing, seeing that we have one of our own trying to pull the world down here.
“I would love to thank and encourage him, and to let our young people see that Akwa Ibom has what it takes to drag the world’s attention.
“It depends on what you see. Someone can see this place and write one story about a swamp that has been abandoned and make all the noise. Another person sees this place and makes a great movie out of it that will market this place to the world and is able to attract the attention because of the work he has done here,” he said.
The State Chief Executive pledged his encouragement, support, and collaboration with Editi and other young Akwa Ibomites to enable them rise to the zenith of their calling.
“We are going to work with him. Editi is a young man I have known very well. This is one thing I say to our people in the diaspora, let’s partner. Come back home, whatever you see out there, bring it back here, and let’s work together.
“I think that is the story, and I am really impressed. If you know the number of people that have visited this State in the course of this film, the talents, and the caliber of artists that have been here, then this young man deserves an award and our support,” he added.
