Humble   you rselves in t he   sight of t he   Lord, and   he   shall   lift   you   up . James 4:10 It has always been said by men of old in our local parlance that "... Nsuhoridem ebem ubong iso... " and it is true as evident in the life of Engr. Nyauko.

PROACTIVE LEADERSHIP A RECIPE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ..... The Victor Udofia example Sustainable development is the pathway to the future we want for all. It offers a framework to generate economic growth, achieve social justice and strengthen governance. One of Nigeria’s biggest problems is its lack of good leadership, leadership sensitive enough to the yearnings and aspirations of the people on whose mandate they rode to power. Leaders in this part of the divide due to selfishness are grossly unable to set in place systems capable of securing economic prosperity for the people, governing effectively, and protecting their citizens. In the absence of patriotic and charismatic leadership, power drunk elites model the state to serve their narrow interests, instead of the interests of the citizens. Against this backdrop emerged Rt. Hon.Victor Udofia, the ever smiling, passionate, dogged and tenacious representative in tune with his people and fully committed to their well...
