University of Education: Ugwuanyi’s Aide Appeals For Understanding Over Citing of Varsity
http://www.hrlnews.com/2019/04/university-of-education-ugwuanyis-aide.html
The Special Assistant to the Governor of Enugu state on New Media
Matters, Mr. Emmanuel Jonathan, has appealed for understanding over the
citing of Enugu State University of Education at Ihe, Awgu Local
Government Area of Enugu State.
He said Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is a man who believes in the leadership of inclusion, equity, justice and fair play.
Speaking with newsmen in Enugu on Wednesday, Jonathan said Governor
Ugwuanyi had come to change the leadership paradigm in the state.
It would be recalled that Governor Ugwuanyi performed the
ground-breaking ceremony for the administrative building of the first
University of Education in South-East geo-political zone in Ihe, Awgu
Local Government Area of the state on Tuesday.
The development sparked off criticisms on the social media.
The Governor’s aide said Gov Ugwuanyi was aware of the needs of every
part of the state, and will tackle all of them, adding, “the governor
still has four years ahead to bring people oriented programmes and
projects across the state. He is just rounding up his first term.”
Jonathan said that from the way the governor had piloted the state,
“it is evident that this is the major reason there has been tranquility
leading to the state being recognized as the safest for doing business
and investment in the country.
“I want to assure all the social media commentators that the governor
will definitely accommodate every zone of the state with landmark
projects that will not only address issues of employment generation and
empowerment of the people of the areas, but also meet the aim of
establishing the projects.
“I share the sentiments of a majority of the commentators on social
media who are of the opinion that the governor should have cited Enugu
State University of Education in any of the local governments in Enugu
North Senatorial District to ameliorate the problems of underdevelopment
ravaging the zone due to long time neglect by past leaders.
“I also want to state that the governor has not rested on his oars to
make Nsukka zone an urban city. He made it clear in his inaugural
speech shortly after his swearing-in and Ndi-Enugu are aware of the
underdevelopment ravaging the zone. Many projects are ongoing and many
are in the pipeline towards upgrading Nsukka Zone to its supposed
status.”
“It is very pertinent to inform us that the governor has not lost
focus in upgrading Nsukka zone but while doing that he has the
obligation to also touch other zones of the state. I therefore appeal
that patience be exercised as the governor will meet the demands of the
people of Enugu North Senatorial Zone and the other zones of the state.”
He explained.
Jonathan called for prayers and continued support to the Governor from the good people of the state.
