Pls, help Amplify the menace happening in Owerri. Transport Unions are compulsory two passengers at the front seat of the mini bus in Owerri. This is wrong as we've engaged several of their unions to no avail. We must stop them now. Front seat should be for one person, not two!

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) wishes to inform Nigerians and stakeholders in the electoral process that all 22 registered political parties have successfully submitted their membership registers to the Commission in compliance with the Electoral Act 2026.

The Commission is pleased to note that all registered parties submitted their registers as of 8th May 2026, two days before the extended deadline.
Following a meeting with political parties, the Commission, in a press statement issued on the 27th of March 2026, adjusted the deadline for the submission of party registers from 21st April 2026 to 10th May 2026 to align with the provisions of Section 77(4) of the Electoral Act 2026 and the actual dates fixed by political parties for their primaries. Political parties were accordingly allowed to conduct their primaries within the approved period from 23rd April 2026 to 30th May 2026, while the register of party members was required to be submitted to the Commission not later than 21 days before the conduct of their respective primaries.

Imo is writing a new chapter in its digital story. The Imo Digital City, one of the most ambitious tech projects under Governor @Hope_Uzodimma1 is now 90% complete.
Speaking during the state’s X-Space session, Commissioner Dr Chimezie Amadi explained that global technology partners are already working with the state to shape what will become a hub for digital learning, innovation, and startup growth.
With advanced ICT labs and creative studios, the centre is set to empower young people with global-standard skills and attract investment. As completion draws near, Imo is positioning itself as a new digital powerhouse in Nigeria.
Cervical cancer elimination is within reach if we act now, together. It is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers when detected early, yet it remains a leading cause of cancer deaths among women.
The FAAN National Aviation Conference reinforced my conviction that Nigeria’s evolving aviation landscape is central to national growth. The conversations on air connectivity, inter-modal integration, and public-private partnerships highlight the urgency of building an aviation ecosystem aligned with global standards of safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
In my goodwill message at the conference, I noted that these principles guide our approach in Imo State, where aviation is a core economic enabler. By upgrading the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport (SMICA), we are positioning the State as a regional logistics hub. Coupled with the Orashi Special Energy Free Trade Zone, this creates a seamless investment corridor linking energy, agriculture, and digital services to global markets.
With modernized infrastructure, improved power reliability, and streamlined land administration, Imo offers an environment ready for scale. I see immense opportunity for investors to join us in shaping a future of accelerated, aviation-driven growth.

PHOTOS: Umuahia streets empty as residents observe IPOB’s sit-at-home
Umuahia, the Abia State capital, was quiet on Friday as residents observed a sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPoB) in remembrance of fallen Biafran heroes.
Streets were largely deserted with only a handful of tricycles and private vehicles seen moving around.
Shops remained closed, and commercial hubs such as markets and motor parks were completely shut down.
Banks and financial institutions did not open their doors to customers, while both public and private schools suspended academic activities for the day.
With normal life at a standstill, some youths took to the empty streets to play football, while small groups of residents gathered at the fronts of their homes, engaging in quiet discussions.
There was no visible security presence across the city, and no reported clashes or disruptions involving law enforcement or enforcers of the order.
