Governor Ugwuanyi,
who stated that his action was a subset of his determination to tackle the
accommodation problems of low-income earners in the state, personally presented
the keys of the flats to the beneficiaries.
As the
recipient of apartments were rejoicing, Gburugburu, as the governor is
popularly known as, revealed that his administration had shown an indisputable steadfastness,
tenacity and doggedness to assist civil servants through the payment of 30 per
cent equity contribution for the beneficiaries.
In his own
words: “I have promised to provide a fair opportunity
for every citizen to make a living and create wealth so that everyone can enjoy
life in a peaceful and secure environment. The welfare of workers will always
be of concern to this administration and this we have demonstrated by handing
over the keys to the beneficiaries. The 100 beneficiaries were selected through
an open lottery in which all civil servants from grade levels 01 to 10 were
free to participate.”
Tectono Business Review also
gathered that 18 patrol vans were equally presented to security agencies during
the ceremony in order to enhance their operational efficiency and ability to
respond timely during distress calls. Similarly, 20 tractors were given to
farmers in the local governments to enhance their capacity for food production.
Kudos to Gburugburu.
While speaking
with newsmen, the Enugu State Head of Service, Mr. Chidi Ezema, stated that not less than 600 workers took part in
the ballot that produced the winners, adding that out of the project cost of
N350 million, the state government had paid 30 per cent to make the re-payment process
easier for the workers. According to him, the repayment period for the mortgage
arrangement was 20 years.
