Abia State Settles ₦72 Billion Inherited Debt Without Borrowing – Governor Alex Otti

Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has revealed that his administration has cleared ₦72 billion of the ₦138 billion debt inherited from previous governments, without securing any new loans.

Speaking during a monthly media briefing at the Government House in Umuahia, Governor Otti said data from the Debt Management Office (DMO) confirms that Abia’s debt profile dropped to ₦66 billion by the end of 2024. This represents a significant reduction, achieved within just over a year of his administration.

“We’ve paid down ₦72 billion of inherited debt and have not added a single kobo to our debt profile,” the governor stated.

Otti credited this financial milestone to prudent management, transparency, and the administration’s credibility in negotiations. He emphasized that every naira of Abia’s funds is now being accounted for, promising that wasteful spending would not be tolerated.

He also hinted that the state’s true inherited liabilities could be higher than official records indicate, noting that the DMO figures do not reflect unpaid salaries, pensions, and contractor debts left by past administrations.

The governor reaffirmed his commitment to responsible governance and economic stability in Abia State.

News Update: GTBank Hikes SMS Alert Charges to N6 Effective May 1

Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) has announced an upward review of its SMS transaction alert fee, increasing the charge from N4 to N6 per message. The new rate will take effect from Thursday, May 1, 2025.

The increment, which affects customers who receive real-time transaction notifications via SMS, is part of a broader adjustment in service charges across the Nigerian banking sector, amid rising operational costs and inflationary pressures.

In a message to customers, GTBank clarified that the revised fee applies only to SMS alerts and does not affect email notifications, which remain free. Customers who wish to avoid the SMS fee are encouraged to opt for email alerts or use the bank’s mobile app for transaction updates.

The bank's decision follows similar moves by other financial institutions in recent months, as banks seek to align their service fees with the current cost of telecom and messaging services in Nigeria.

Customers are advised to review their notification preferences and reach out to GTBank’s customer service for further clarification.

Labour Party Bigwigs Return to PDP in Enugu, Cite Mbah’s Performance as Reason

In a major political realignment in Enugu State, two prominent Labour Party figures, Titus Odo, the state publicity secretary of the party, and Emeka Mamah, former Commissioner for Chieftaincy Affairs and state coordinator of Peter Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign, have defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The duo, who had left the PDP for the Labour Party during the 2023 general elections, were officially received back into the party at the PDP state secretariat on Wednesday by the party chairman, Martin Chukwunwike.

Chukwunwike welcomed the returnees with optimism, stating that their homecoming was in line with Governor Peter Mbah’s directive to reconcile with former members. “We are happy to have them in our midst, and God has set this party on a good foot, as 2027 is already assured,” he said, urging party unity ahead of the next general elections.

Speaking on his defection, Mr. Odo expressed satisfaction at rejoining his former party. He credited Governor Mbah’s “giant developmental strides” across the state as a key reason for his return, alongside the recent defection of his former principal, Labour Party governorship candidate Dr. Chijioke Edeoga.

Odo also praised Igboeze North council chairman Uchenna Ogara, noting his transformation of the local area “into a township.”

Mr. Mamah, in his remarks, thanked the PDP’s leadership at all levels for welcoming him back and commended Governor Mbah’s leadership style and outreach to former party members.

The defections are seen as a strategic boost for the PDP in Enugu ahead of the 2027 elections, signaling what could be a wave of reconciliation and reorganization within the party.

Tree Trouble in Calabar: Windstorm Uproots Calm, Smashes Cars and Property

A sudden windstorm in Calabar on Tuesday turned the city into a scene of chaos as massive trees came crashing down, damaging cars, rooftops, and public property.

The storm, which struck without warning, uprooted trees along busy routes such as Marian Road and Murtala Mohammed Highway. Several cars parked along these roads were crushed, while traffic was temporarily brought to a halt in affected areas.

Eyewitnesses described it as “nature’s surprise attack,” with branches flying and tree trunks blocking entire sections of road. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported so far.

The State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) has since deployed response teams to clear the debris and assess structural damage. Officials are also inspecting other trees across the city to prevent future incidents.

Residents are advised to avoid parking under trees and to report weakened or leaning trees to authorities as the rainy season intensifies.

Suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Pens Scathing Satirical Apology to Senate President Akpabio

In a dramatic twist to the ongoing tensions in the Nigerian Senate, suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has published a satirical apology letter aimed at Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The letter, shared publicly on her verified social media page, was dripping with sarcasm and thinly veiled criticisms of legislative politics under Akpabio’s leadership.

Akpoti-Uduaghan, who was recently suspended over what has been described as "unparliamentary conduct," accused the Senate leadership of prioritizing compliance over competence, vanity over vision, and personal interests over the people's mandate. Her letter mocked the "ancient art of compliance" and lamented the bruising of egos "so large they require their own postcodes."

In a particularly stinging remark, she wrote: "Please find it in your magnanimous heart — somewhere buried deep beneath layers of entitlement — to forgive this stubborn woman who mistakenly believed that her seat in the Senate was earned through elections, not erections."

The satirical apology highlights deeper fractures within the Senate and casts a spotlight on what Akpoti-Uduaghan portrays as a culture of entitlement and political patronage. Her refusal to back down, despite her suspension, signals that the battle lines within Nigeria’s upper legislative chamber remain sharply drawn.

The Senate leadership has yet to officially respond to the letter.

Akpoti-Uduaghan signed off her letter pledging "eternal resistance," describing herself as "Unafraid, Unbought, and Unbroken," further underlining her defiant stance against what she suggests is a corrupt and self-serving legislative culture.

The unfolding situation is expected to escalate tensions further in the Senate, with political observers warning that the public spat could have lasting implications for Senate unity and legislative efficiency.

Enugu Airport Cleared for Takeoff: Flights Resume Monday, April 28

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has announced that flight operations at Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, will officially resume on Monday, April 28, 2025, following the completion of emergency runway repairs.

The airport had been temporarily shut down on April 18, 2025, after a sudden and significant rupture appeared on the asphalt surface at a critical section of the runway, prompting urgent safety concerns. Rehabilitation work commenced swiftly on April 22, with an initial reopening date set for May 6. However, accelerated repairs allowed FAAN to clear the runway for landings and takeoffs ahead of schedule.

In a statement signed by Mrs. Obiageli Orah, Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, FAAN expressed appreciation to airport users and stakeholders for their patience and cooperation during the disruption. The Authority assured the public that all actions were taken strictly in the interest of safety.

With the runway now fully rehabilitated and certified safe, airlines are expected to resume regular flight schedules, restoring a crucial travel link for the Southeast region.

Travelers are advised to check with their airlines for updated flight information and plan for early arrivals at the airport to ensure smooth boarding procedures.

FAAN reiterated its commitment to "Safe Skies, Secure Airports, Seamless Travel."

FG Moves to Cut Power Costs at A*o Rock with Solar Energy Project

The Federal Government has begun the process of transitioning the A*o Rock Presidential Villa to solar energy in a bid to reduce its soaring electricity expenses.

Speaking on the move, the Director General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, Mustapha Abdullahi, revealed that the Villa currently incurs an unsustainable annual electricity bill of about ₦47 billion. In response to this alarming figure, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved ₦10 billion for the installation of a solar power grid at the Presidential Villa.

According to the DG, the shift to solar energy is part of a broader effort to reduce dependence on the national grid, ensure sustainable power supply at the seat of government, and promote renewable energy solutions across federal institutions.

The solar project is expected to significantly cut operating costs and set an example for energy reforms nationwide.

FCT Workers Protest Non-Implementation of ₦70,000 Minimum Wage, Demand Immediate Action

Civil servants across the six area councils of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have staged a mass protest, decrying the government's failure to implement the recently approved ₦70,000 minimum wage.

The demonstration, which drew hundreds of primary school teachers, administrative staff, and local government workers, highlighted growing frustrations over months of unpaid salary arrears and broken promises. The protesters accused FCT Minister Nyesom Wike of backtracking on previously agreed terms and showing a consistent lack of accountability.

Despite repeated assurances from both local authorities and the Minister, the workers claim that no concrete steps have been taken to address their grievances. They pointed to multiple ultimatums and warning strikes that have yielded no tangible results, further straining the already fragile trust between civil servants and the area council leadership.

Union leaders representing the workers have vowed to escalate industrial actions if their demands are not met in full—these include the immediate payment of all outstanding arrears and full implementation of the ₦70,000 minimum wage. They are calling for urgent intervention from the federal government to resolve the deadlock and restore normalcy to council operations across the FCT.

As tensions rise, the situation continues to disrupt public services in the affected areas, signaling potential long-term implications if swift action is not taken.
