After 23 Years of Neglect, NDDC Constructs First Ever Tarred Road to Edo State Polytechnic, Usen,

By
After 23 Years of Neglect, NDDC Constructs First Ever Tarred Road to Edo State Polytechnic, Usen, By EgbemaVoice  For over twenty-three years, Edo State Polytechnic in Ovia-South West Local Government Area existed without a functional road network. Not a single metre of tarred road served this academic community. I listened to accounts of how students and staff endured clouds of dust in the dry season and waded through mud whenever it rained—all in their pursuit of knowledge and service. That reality was unacceptable to me. In alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I am proud that the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), in strong collaboration with the Edo State Government, has decisively changed that narrative. Under my leadership, the Commission has delivered a total of 4.8 kilometres of asphalt pavement within this institution—comprising 4.59 kilometres of internal road network and a 205-metre dual ca...

JUST IN: Court reject bid to halt David Mark _ Led ADC's convention progresses

By
JUST IN: Court reject bid to halt David Mark _ Led ADC's convention progresses  By EgbemaVoice, The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday, declined an application seeking to restrain the African Democratic Congress, led by Senator David Mark, from holding conventions, congresses or meetings to elect or ratify members of its executive bodies and other party structures. Justice Emeka Nwite, in a ruling, refused the motion ex parte filed by a former Deputy National Chairman of the ADC, Nafiu-Bala Gombe, holding that granting such an application without hearing from the other parties would amount to overreaching. “I have listened to the submission of the learned counsel for the applicant and have also gone through the affidavit evidence with exhibits thereto along with the written address,” the judge said. Justice Nwite noted that the court had earlier, on September 4, 2025, ordered the defendants to show cause why an interim order restraining them from acting as leaders of the...
