The gospel according to St. Badamasi – By Abraham Ogbodo
I guess there is nothing more to discuss about the IBB’s book. It is now eight days since the book, titled: A Journey In Service, was presented in Abuja. The reviews are as varied as they are many. We have had more reviewers than the pages of the 420-page book.

UPU and Delta State 2023: To be or not to be – By Abraham Ogbodo
