First Lady Tinubu Honoured with Chieftaincy Title as Imo Traditional Rulers Hail Renewed Hope Agenda By Vivian Iwu  *** Owerri — Owerri, Imo State The Eze Imo Palace in Owerri played host yesterday to a moment steeped in cultural pageantry and political symbolism, as Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, National Chairman of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), was formally received by the Imo State Council of Traditional Rulers during an official working visit to the State. The courtesy call, which drew traditional rulers from across Imo's ancestral stools, formed part of a broader itinerary that saw the First Lady engage directly with the custodians of Igbo culture and governance — a gesture widely read as both an acknowledgment of the monarchs' social influence and a reaffirmation of federal government ties with the South-East. In a display of the region's enduring respect for ceremony, the Council conferred upon the First Lady the chieftaincy title "...

Uzodimma Hailed as "Worker-Friendly" Even as Commission Disciplines Staff By Rose Dijiugbor  *** IMO STATE – Governor Hope Uzodimma is being praised for his pro-worker policies, even as his administration’s commission cracks down on the very staff benefiting from those policies. The monitoring team’s tour, which included stops at the Isiala Mbano council, served as a reminder that benefits come with responsibilities. Commission Chairman Dr. Obinatu described the Governor as "worker-friendly," citing a long list of achievements: the prompt payment of salaries, the conversion of qualified staff, and the clearance of stagnation that had seen some workers stuck at the same grade level for up to 17 years. He also pointed to the upward review of the minimum wage as evidence of the administration's goodwill. However, in a direct address to the workers, he urged them to "reciprocate this gesture with greater commitment to duty." The juxtaposition was clear: th...

"You Are on Notice": Imo Commission Declares War on Absentee Staff, Warns of Mass Sackings By Adolphus Nwaru  *** ISIALA MBANO, NIGERIA – In a sweeping move to restore discipline to the local government system, the Imo State Local Government Service Commission has issued a stark ultimatum to workers: show up or risk losing your job. During a high-stakes monitoring visit to the Isiala Mbano Local Government Area, Commission Chairman Dr. Obinatu (addressing staff alongside Chief Ethelbert Nwachukwu and others) laid down the law, describing the rampant absenteeism as "morally indefensible." The commission has zeroed in on a particularly brazen practice: staff members who have left the country but continue to receive monthly salaries, with colleagues illegally covering for them by signing attendance registers. "Those involved could lose their jobs," Dr. Obinatu warned, adding that this "loitering" culture during official hours would not be tolerated....

Imo Bets on German Medtech Alliance to Rewrite State's Healthcare Story By CAVIMAGES Media  *** Owerri, Imo State — There is a particular kind of hospital delay familiar to millions of Nigerians: the referral letter to Lagos, the flight ticket to Delhi or Dubai, the GoFundMe page, the funeral that follows anyway. For years, that has been the quiet backdrop of healthcare in Imo State. Governor Hope Uzodimma says he wants to change the ending of that story — and he's betting a chunk of his legacy on a partnership with a German hospital-solutions firm to do it. Uzodimma made the case while receiving a delegation of doctors and specialists from Integromed Germany, led by the firm's Managing Director, Dr. Suleiman Ibrahim, who arrived in Owerri as the partnership moved from paperwork to practice. "When we amended the Imo State Hospital Law, our focus was to address the age-long medical deficiencies bedeviling Ndi Imo and lay the foundation for a more responsive and sustaina...
