  PDP SOUTHWEST VICE CHAIRMAN ENGR ADEDEJI DOHERTY CALLS ON SECURITY AGENCIES TO INVESTIGATE THE ILLEGAL PRODUCTION AND SALES OF THE 2027 PDP ELECTION FORMS BY THE WABARA PDP TEAM  The controversy that has ravaged the Peoples Democratic Party for awhile now is believed to have come to an end with the Supreme Court verdict on the warring  fractions. The recent developments obviously signals a different tale as major stakeholders are still not satisfied with the Supreme Court verdict where different groups are left to interprete the judgement to their favour. The fractional BOT Chairman Sen. Adolphus Nwabara who is believed to have taken over and called every warring  fraction to a round table talk is not acceptable to the fraction  led by Sen Mao Ohuabunwa's group who vehemently believe, that the former BOT members which include the likes of Chief Olabode George have been compromised, pointing out discrepancies even in the so called Olive branch speech issue...

  EDUCATING NIGERIA, ONE COMMUNITY AT A TIME: INSIDE UNION BANK OF NIGERIA'S APPROACH TO CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY Nigeria's economic ambitions, whether higher productivity, a more competitive private sector, or stronger household resilience, all eventually run through the same bottleneck: the quality of the country's human capital.

The customers, entrepreneurs, and employees of the next two decades are sitting in classrooms today, and many of those classrooms are under-resourced. It is in that context that Union Bank of Nigeria has built its corporate social responsibility agenda around one of its major pillars – education.
