THE teachers’ strike is not a national emergency. The best the Federal Government has done, after leading the teachers into believing it was to issue a circular for their new pay scales, was to claim it never had such powers. [VANGUARD]
Killing the tyre industry
Dunlop was until the announcement, the only remaining tyre manufacturing company in the country that was producing. The rest of them have closed shop, on account of several reasons including inclement business environment, mostly the energy crisis, policy summersaults and product dumping from other economies, where production infrastructure are taken for granted.

LAST week, the convoy of Theodore Orji, Governor of Abia State was attacked by suspected hoodlums on the Aba-Port Harcourt Expressway. The attack took place at 7.45a.m. in a village, Ngwanyiekwe in Abia State. [GUARDIAN NEWSPAPERS]
