  News   The Coalition of Abia Health Unions (CAHU) has issued a 15-day ultimatum to the Abia State Government, demanding immediate payment of the reviewed Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS) for health workers in the state and local government areas. This follows the expiration of an earlier 21-day ultimatum on March 26, 2025, which the state government allegedly ignored without engaging the unions in any formal discussion.

  Economy   The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has debunked a viral claim suggesting the introduction of new ₦5,000 and ₦10,000 banknotes, labeling it as fake news. Taking to its verified Facebook account, the apex bank clarified: “This content is NOT from the Central Bank of Nigeria.

  Politics   Umuahia, Abia State – The Abia State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Elder Abraham Amah, has assured party members that the recent defection of the Honourable Member representing Isiala Ngwa North State Constituency will serve as a lesson rather than a setback. In an open letter to party faithful, Elder Amah acknowledged that the defection did not take the State Working Committee (SWC) by surprise, as they had been aware of the underlying factors leading to the move. He attributed such developments to past missteps, including the sidelining of true grassroots politicians in favor of individuals who lacked commitment to the party’s ideology but saw the platform as a means to personal advancement. Despite this, the PDP chairman expressed optimism about the party’s future, stating that the loss of such members today would pave the way for a more resilient and principled PDP in the days ahead. “First fool no be fool, but second fool na proper fo...
