I DID MY BEST FOR BENUE - SUSWAM

By
The immediate past governor of Benue State, Rt. Hon. Gabriel Suswam challenged his accusers to stop pointing accusing fingers and get down to work. The governor made this position known in his recent post on his personal facebook page. Hear him:

"I did my best for Benue, I can only aspire to be better always and that's what leadership entails. When I assumed office as Governor of Benue state in 2007, there were obvious lapses, there were debts, unpaid salaries, contractual obligations, dilapidated infrastructure, a weak and an under enumerated civil service etc I didn't make excuses, I took it head on and in a short while there were visible changes in and around every urban centre, the new Ministry of rural development and cooperatives we created made impact in the rural areas by providing electricity to over 100 communities in the first year alone. The economic crunch unfortunately caused the hardship people faced towards the end of our administration, I wasn't happy about it but I couldn't change it either. The task of leadership is enormous. The new government must move from here to the next level and they can only do that with a sustained commitment to satisfy the wishes of the Benue people not chasing frivolities or making excuses to failures or achievements of the past."

EFREN PENAFLORIDA - SOCIAL WORKER AND TEACHER

By
Efren’s Penaflorida – Social Worker and Teacher Efren Peñaflorida, Jr. sports no cape. He has no superpowers. You would neither throw him a second glance nor even notice him in a big crowd. There is really nothing special about Efren except his unparalleled dedication to reforming kids in their poverty-stricken community in Cavite, Philippines.Efren Peñaflorida, Jr.’s sanity was questioned when people first saw him going around the neighborhood pushing his improvised cart loaded with food, books, paper, pencils, and other things you would commonly see in a classroom. Why, Efren goes around the neighborhood pushing a mobile classroom to peddle the love for education. He left his well-paying job as a private school teacher to devote all of his time and effort to his Kariton Klasrum project while his neighbors mock him.To make matters worse, his parents and brother did not see the point in his earnestness to get out-of-school youths interested in going back to school. For a family s...
