Rt. Hon. Chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Governor, Enugu State. |
Gburugburu,
as the governor is popularly known as, directed the state commissioner for
Health Dr. Samuel Ngwu to ensure
that the child was taken to the University Teaching Hospital for the needed
surgery as government would foot the bill of two million naira.
Tectono Business Review gathered
that the same day, Chief Ugwuanyi visited a Cheshire home inhabited by the
physically challenged. While chatting with newsmen there, he stated that he was
committed to the service to humanity which had brought about his desire to meet
the less privileged in the state to mark this year’s Independence anniversary.
In
Gburugburu’s own words: “Today is Nigeria’s anniversary
day. I have come to identify with your plights, to let you know that you are
part of this government. The government of Enugu State has you in mind; my due
is to serve you well, to render selfless service to people of the state irrespective
of their social strata. Government will always do the needful to ensure that
the dividends of democracy are felt in every part of the state.”
Chief
Ugwuanyi, who is an erstwhile stockbroker and Ex-President of Rotary Club, Emene
Branch, reiterated his commitment to serve the people of Enugu with the fear of
God, adding that Enugu people would get the best from the present
administration in line with his campaign promises.
In his response,
the Chairman of Cheshire Home Skills Centre, Enugu, Mr. Vincent Uzodike extoled the governor for his kindness and
commitment to the general good of all in the state. He pointed out that the governor
had been into such charity work for the upwards of 15 years and above, adding
that the state was in for better days.
We gathered
that Rt. Hon. Chief Ugwuanyi also presented cash gifts to all the centres he
visited which included the Red Cross and Holy Child Babies Homes, Mother of
Christ Specialist Hospitals and Enugu Cheshire Home Skills Centre, and crowd also
gathered on sighting him, singing and dancing, expressing their joy as they
said that they had never had it so memorable in the recent past. God bless
Gburugburu.
