And where there is consumption, there is demand, and there should be commensurate local production. Incentivising production and creating the enabling environment for businesses to thrive are indispensable for sustainable economic growth and job creation. Since he assumed office, President Bola Tinubu has taken ingenious decisions to…

SENATOR NED NWOKO One hand feeds with palliatives, swift and small, A quick balm tossed like crumbs that fall. A bit of rice, a fleeting gift, Given to keep but never to lift. Take this, stay steady, until the next round. But bound in its comfort, you’re still tightly bound.

What’s certain about these people occupying the upper land of Delta state could be, that they seem to now understand the need to rekindle their self determined future, sustained development and a unified cultural heritage. Before now, the…
