As we step into a new month and as the festive period begins to bloom, I am reminded of the power of service, and the bond of community and the light that it brings. This season brings a renewed sense of togetherness and is a gentle reminder that progress is built not just through policies but through empathy, shared effort, and the simple act of showing up for one another. This season is more than just a celebration, it is a time to reflect, reconnect, and recommit ourselves to the values that strengthen our society. As the festive spirit warms our homes and our hearts, may it also inspire us to serve with purpose and lead with humility. May our days be filled with joy, clarity, and meaningful celebrations. Here’s to a month of progress, gratitude, and festive cheer. Oluebube A. Chukwu, PhD., mnipr Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Abia State on Due Process
