Celebrating an icon at 63: the enduring legacy of Chief Gabriel Ogbuife Chukwubuikem Ajah, Ph.D., MNI — the Generalissimo of Enugu State Civil Service By David E. Ajah Thursday, 24th July 2025, marks a milestone in the life of one of Enugu State’s most distinguished sons, Chief Gabriel Ogbuife Chukwubuikem Ajah, Ph.D., MNI, affectionately known far and wide by his commanding initials, GOC. At 63, Dr. Ajah’s life story stands as a testament to divine purpose, tireless dedication, and unshakable faith. For many, the name GOC is not just a convenient set of initials.

...Insists no justification to keep Band A at N209/kWh in Enugu State The Enugu State Electricity Regulatory Commission, EERC, has clarified that its recent order that led to reduction of electricity tariff for Band A from N209/kWh (per kiloWatt) to N160 kwh, did not tamper with the prevailing cost of power generation in the country in any way. The Commission maintained that based on MainPower's costs, there was no justification to keep the price of electricity for Band A at N209 per kWh in the tate. EERC made the clarification following concerns raised by some sections of the power sector stakeholders, including the generation companies (GenCos), to the new tariff order that was issued by the Commission to MainPower Electricity Distribution Limited, the subsidiary of EEDC for electricity distribution in the state.  The tariff order led to the reduction of the tariff for Band A customers to N160 kWh, and the freezing of the tariffs for the other bands effective from Aug...
