| Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi |
In a
statement by IPAC’s state chairman and secretary, Barrister John Nwobodo, and Mr.
Ken Onyekaonwu respectively, the organization said that they were highly
impressed with the way Gov. Ugwuanyi has “managed with prudence, integrity,
transparency and accountability the state’s lean resources” to pay workers’
salaries and retirees’ pensions and execute numerous capital projects across
the state, among others. IPAC also commended the governor for the judicious and
transparent utilization of the Paris Club refunds to the state; approval and
payment of 13th month salary to civil servants as Christmas bonus as well as
provision of free transport to registered Enugu State indigenes returning home
for the festive season.
The
organization scored Gov. Ugwuanyi “very high” on the implementation of his
administration’s 4-point agenda, noting that “the
education sector has received tremendous boost with the employment of over one
thousand primary school teachers and the recruitment of another batch, ongoing.”
The
political parties also appreciated the governor for the massive rehabilitation
of urban and rural roads in the state, including the over N1.4 billion road
projects recently awarded by his administration, saying: “This is a very heart-warming development. Gov. Ifeanyi
Ugwuanyi has bestridden governance like a colossus and stands tall among his
peers exhibiting candor, humility and simplicity in his approach to governance.
We commend him for his open door policy, inclusion and accommodation, which
have endeared him to the people. Without mincing words, we would say that the governor
has elevated governance to a higher pedestal in Enugu State.
“We recall vividly part of His Excellency’s inaugural speech where
he narrated how a political associate of his told him that this was not the
best time to be a governor. However, it is obvious he was not scared by the
realities of the time. All we have seen in the governor is a man who believes
that tough time doesn’t last but tough people do. It is delightful how the
governor is turning the nation’s economic challenges into huge blessings in
Enugu State.”
While
felicitating with the governor, the government and people of Enugu State on the
season of Christmas and New Year celebrations, the body prayed God to “see us
all through the season in happiness and merriment and usher us into the New
Year (2018), adding: “We will continue to give maximum
support to the governor to enable him remain focused in delivering good
governance”. (VANGUARD)
