GOVERNOR Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State has set aside about N600 million to rehabilitate  structures and provide facilities at the state-owned unity secondary schools. Mimiko, who made an unscheduled inspection visit to St Peter’s Unity School, Akure expressed sadness over the decay of facilities in the school, including hostels, dinning hall and classrooms among others. The Governor, who was conducted round the school by the Commissioner for Education, Pius Osunyikanmi, pledged to make public schools in the state conducive for teaching and learning, with a view to producing competent and proud future leaders for the country

THE immediate past Speaker of the fourth session of the Abia State House of Assembly, Chief Agwu U. Agwu, may be returned as Speaker of the incoming, all Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member House for the fifth session that will commence on June 10, 2011, reports have indicated.

His possible return followed the status quo already adopted by the PDP nationwide in line with its zoning of offices.

It was also sequel to Governor Theodore Orji’s reaction to a question put to him on the matter on Saturday evening.

When he returned to Umuahia from Abuja where he attended a retreat, Orji said “the status quo has been maintained in the PDP all the way”.

However, the Governor said this would not imply that some other changes would not be effected.

His words: “Who becomes the Speaker is the business of the members of the House. They can make changes if they want to make any change but the status quo has been maintained in PDP all the way.”

Three re-elected state legislators from the three Senatorial districts of the state,  in separate chats with The Guardian, also commented on Agwu’s possible return on condition of anonymity.

They all described him as a competent leader of the House who diligently piloted the Assembly’s affairs and deserved re-election.
