FULL TEXT Of The Distinguished Personalities Lecture by Gov Peter Mbah, Today at ESUT Permanent Site. Instructively, the most impactful policies are not necessarily those that create the biggest buzz. But they offer the clearest indices of human development. Nothing transforms lives and paves a path to a promising future like quality education. It is the reason why one-third of Enugu State’s total annual budget went into funding education. This translates to roughly twice UNESCO’s recommended benchmark of 15%-20%. What this means is that for every 100 Naira spent, 33 Naira goes to the education budget. This funding has enabled us to implement both infrastructural and pedagogical overhaul of our education system. Our will has enabled us to begin a transition from a system where pupils seemed, to all intents and purposes, to be merely going through the motions of learning, to an ecosystem of Experiential Learning Through our Basic Education Smart Green Schools, we have introduced the “cu

SAD! Woman Found Dead in Freezer After Reporting Suspicions About Alleged Killer

Image
Authorities are investigating a disturbing case in Las Vegas involving the death of Monique Gilbertson, 68, whose body was discovered in a freezer weeks after she reportedly raised concerns about her former roommate, Daniel Roush. Roush, 37, who identifies as Jazzlynn Roush, now faces a second-degree murder charge in connection with Gilbertson's death.   The sequence of events began when Gilbertson, who lived in a 55-and-older community near Nellis Boulevard and Vegas Valley Drive, allowed Roush to move in after meeting him at a store. Roush initially assisted Gilbertson with household tasks, but tensions arose over cleanliness.

A Digital Dawn For Enugu: Barr. Steve Oruruo's Appraisal On Gov Peter Mbah's Innovative Smart School Projects

Image
   Long foretold, the world has finally gone fully digital. How did we get here? First came the modern binary system in 1679, thanks to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Then George Boole’s work in 1847 on mathematical logic opened the door to universal computation. Decades later in 1954, General Electric installed UNIVAC I, demonstrating the first business use of a computer in the United States. In 1956, IBM developed the first computer storage system based on magnetic disks and practically invented RAM. Fast forward to 2007 when Estonia became the first country in the world to use internet voting in a parliamentary election. And now, in 2024, Tesla is sailing the ship of digitization and technology through uncharted waters, leveraging the ‘superhuman’ power of artificial intelligence. If Tesla’s genius in the design of electric autonomous vehicles including spacecraft is not impressive enough, what about Optimus, a robotic humanoid Elon Musk recently showcased to an intrigued audience, whic
