IBAS ADVOCATES TAILORED SOCIOECONOMIC PROJECTS TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY NEEDS

Port Harcourt, Nigeria, July 29, 2025 -- The Administrator of Rivers State, His Excellency Vice Admiral (Rtd) Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, has emphasized the critical need for a strategic, community-driven approach to socioeconomic development in Nigeria.

Speaking during a courtesy visit by the Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA) led by Executive Secretary Dr. George-Kelly Dakorinama Alabo at Government House, Port Harcourt, on Tuesday, the Administrator called for an end to the imposition of projects that do not reflect the genuine priorities of local communities.

Vice Admiral Ibas highlighted the inefficiency of current development practices, where projects are often introduced without adequate consultation with the people they are meant to serve. He stressed the importance of aligning interventions with the actual needs of communities to ensure sustainability and meaningful impact.

"I believe this country is so well endowed and rich to be able to bring even development to everybody. We have numerous development agencies and international donors supporting Nigeria’s growth. However, one key challenge remains—the lack of coordination in delivering development based on the people’s needs," he stated.

While commending the BCDA’s efforts, the Administrator urged greater synergy among development agencies and donor organizations. He also advocated for the inclusion of neglected communities beyond Nigeria’s immediate border regions, ensuring no area is left behind in national development plans.

Vice Admiral Ibas expressed support for the BCDA’s 69 projects earmarked for Rivers State in 2025, comprising 43 constituency projects and 26 core capital initiatives. He called for close collaboration with relevant state ministries to maximize their impact and pledged the state government’s assistance, including the provision of office space for the BCDA’s Zonal Office in the South-South region.

In his remarks, Dr. Alabo explained that the projects were selected following a nationwide needs assessment targeting border communities—both land and maritime. He identified key intervention areas as water supply, education, healthcare, agriculture, power, and social services, particularly in underserved regions disconnected from the national grid.

Dr. Alabo noted that over 26 million Nigerians reside in border communities across 21 states and 105 Local Government Areas. He thanked President Bola Tinubu for significantly increasing the BCDA’s funding, which has risen tenfold compared to previous allocations, enabling more impactful interventions.

Additionally, he appealed for a permanent BCDA office in Rivers State to strengthen operations in the South-South zone.

The Rivers State Government reaffirmed its commitment to fostering inclusive development and working with federal agencies to ensure projects are demand-driven, sustainable, and transformative for all communities.

COMRADE TAMUNOIMAMA WOSELY BAGS MOST DISTINGUISHED HEAD OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT (HPM) AWARD IN RIVERS STATE
“The growth and stability of the economy is in strengthening the institutions.” – Comrade Wosely

By Ikechi Akpuh – Veteran Legendary Media Forensic Czar

The Director of Administration, General Services, and Head of Personnel Management (HPM) of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area in Rivers State, Comrade Tamunoimama Wosely, has been honoured with the prestigious Niger Delta Journalists Award as the Most Distinguished HPM of the Year.

Presenting the award, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Niger Delta Journalists Forum, Mr. Joseph Asomeji, noted that Comrade Wosely was selected after a rigorous evaluation process. This included assessments of her administrative competence, staff relations, employee engagement, and the quality of service delivery.

Also speaking at the event, Deputy BOT Chairman, Mr. Kennedy Wedeh (Jnr), emphasized the organization's ongoing philanthropic efforts, including the distribution of educational materials like exercise books to schools and other impactful outreach activities.

In her acceptance speech, Comrade Wosely highlighted the critical role of institutions in nation-building. She asserted that no sustainable economic growth can occur in a society where government institutions are weak or ineffective.

“All over the world, it is the viability of institutions that regulates the economy and human behaviour,” she stated. “It is regrettable that in Nigeria, individuals often wield more power than the institutions meant to guide governance and accountability.”

She also called on journalists to remain conscious of the solemn responsibility they bear, stressing that their work directly influences public policy, governance, and societal values.

While expressing gratitude to the association for the honour, Comrade Wosely pledged to collaborate with them in their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects aimed at uplifting the community.

A native of Ogu Kingdom in Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area, the seasoned, unblemished career civil servant described the award as a further call to deepen her commitment to charity—an area she said has always been close to her heart.

The event took place on Monday, July 28, 2025, at her office in the Obio/Akpor Council Secretariat. It was well attended by council staff, colleagues, and well-wishers.

Highlights of the ceremony included:
Official presentation of the award plaque
Goodwill messages from her immediate staff
Solidarity songs
Presentation of a booklet of collated achievements

Decoration and group photographs

DO WOMEN REALLY BELONG TO KITCHEN?
What's your take on this???

It appears there’s no credible evidence—photos, video, or official statements—that Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, celebrated the Super Falcons’ WAFCON victory specifically “on her kitchen TV.” Instead, all reputable reports show that she joined Nigerians nationwide in celebrating their dramatic comeback win during the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations final, but not from a domestic kitchen broadcast.

TVC News released multiple photos of the First Lady celebrating publicly her country’s Super Falcons’ 10th WAFCON victory over Morocco, describing it as a national celebration rather than a private kitchen moment

Punch Nigeria also provided pictorial coverage and commentary on the First Lady’s participation in the broader national festivities, without any mention of a “kitchen TV”

In short: while the celebrations were real and widespread, there’s no reporting on her watching or celebrating the win via a kitchen television broadcast.

OKRIKA TO THE WORLD

Acclaimed Nigerian-Irish actress and filmmaker Ibinabo Fiberesima is set to premiere her new historical drama film, *Amanyanabo: The Eagle King*, in London this August. The premiere will take place on Friday, 29 August 2025, at Odeon Greenwich, with additional cultural venues under consideration.

This powerful feature film tells the story of an Ijaw monarch who chooses humility over hostility in a time of conflict, highlighting values of peace, resilience, and leadership. The event is expected to draw significant attention from the African diaspora, film enthusiasts, and advocates of diversity in cinema.

*Amanyanabo: The Eagle King* will feature a red-carpet reception, film screening, and an interactive Q&A session with Ibinabo Fiberesima, offering audiences a chance to explore the cultural and historical foundations of the story.

"I am excited to bring this story to London and share a part of our heritage through the lens of powerful storytelling," says Fiberesima. "This film is not just about the past, but about timeless lessons for leadership, identity, and unity."

The event is supported by members of the UK African cultural community and aims to foster cultural exchange, promote underrepresented narratives, and inspire dialogue through film.
