Good Governance is About Accountability, Not Arrogance of Titles, GSM Advocates to Umahi We have taken note of the recent statement attributed to the Honourable Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, in which he described himself as “senior” in both governance and engineering, and further claimed to be “an ‘A’ student in mathematics.” While the Minister is entitled to assert his credentials, it is imperative to clarify certain points, uphold the sanctity of public discourse, and defend the dignity of those governed. Do we need to remind Mr Minister that titles and seniority do not confer infallibility? Public service is not an arena for self-praise. The notion that one becomes automatically correct by virtue of claiming seniority is a weak substitute for concrete evidence. In governance, authority is validated by performance, transparency, and measurable outcomes, not by boasting about who holds a longer résumé. As history has repeatedly s...

TEACHERS ARE PILLARS, SAYS OYO STATE APC GUBERNATORIAL ASPIRANT, DR ADEWALE KOLAPO KAREEM AKK. I have been a teacher all my life. I have spent the biggest part of my adult years in classrooms, guiding young people and helping them build strong values. It has taken several strategies and structures; from basic to leading more advanced groups, this work has shaped who I am, and I feel proud. I love teachers and what they do because it is indeed opening doors for others in ways that last a lifetime. I feel reminded of the simple joy in seeing a student grow, and it keeps me connected to the heart of this profession.  The job of a good teacher is tough but rewarding. It means planning carefully, adjusting to each student's needs, and going beyond normal hours to make sure they understand. Teachers push themselves to connect ideas, solve doubts, and boost students' confidence, often using their own time and energy. Teachers deprive themselves of ...
