  By: NDUKA ANYANWU APGA Candidate, Ahiazu and Ezinihite Mbaise Federal Constituency / SA Media to the APGA National Chairman Sixty years of consecrated life is far more than a milestone. It is a profound testimony of unwavering faith, personal sacrifice, uncommon discipline, and a lifetime wholly devoted to the service of God and humanity.

Paulinus Ezeokafor, Bishop of Awka Diocese. The lives of the two celebrants stand as shining examples of what it truly means to answer ...

  Written by Nduka Anyanwu APGA Candidate House of Representatives, Ahiazu and Ezinihite Mbaise Federal Constituency, Imo State  *One* of the mistakes Nigeria must overcome is measuring development by the _number of projects commissioned rather than the value those projects create._  1. A road that deteriorates shortly after construction is *not* sustainable development. 2. A water project without a maintenance plan is *not* sustainable development. 3. A school building without adequate learning facilities is *incomplete* development. 4. A healthcare facility without equipment and personnel *cannot* deliver the intended health outcomes.
