The story of professor Charlse Dokubo could be likened to Amalanze the cat,that  great wrestler whose back never  touched the ground.

As expected we will soon begin the process to elect a new set of leadership to pilot the affairs of our flagship the ijaw  youth council .

As we enter the period of change of baton I want to admonish and encourage both to understand the primacy of our collective greater ob...
