It would be recalled that Hon.

The latest of the Executive Chairman's leadership prowess finds better expression in his magnanimity which saw to the payment of severance allowances to elected and appointed council officers who served the LGA between 2017-2020, a gesture which has gone a long way in uplifting the economic status of the beneficiaries and salvaged them from the pangs of years of hardship.
Hon. Ibiam is our contemporary Bentham. His leadership hallmarks are philosophically anchored on the promotion of the greatest happiness of the greatest number of the good people of Afikpo North LGA.
