Governor Rochas Okorocha has ordered payment of three months salary arrears to Imo State civil servants. With the governor’s directive, workers will get April,May and June salaries at once.

The governor said they could get more, depending on the revenue profile of the state at a particular month. Meanwhile, Okorocha also disclosed ...

Chief James Ibeka is the spokesperson, Movement for Change, a pressure group in the  All Progressives Congress (APC), in Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State. In this interview he speaks on the activities of the group and other issues. What is your assessment of Governor Akinwumi Ambode’s one year in office? Governor Ambode has really done so well. There is no doubt about that. These are part of the process of democracy whereby the citizens could always have their dividends, which our party has been canvassing. The former governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola did so fantastically well but I am so impressed with the current governor of Lagos State.
