BJAN HONOURS OHAKIM The governor of Imo state, Dr Ikedi Ohakim has bagged yet another meritorious award of excellence as most Visionary and Brand Friendly Governor, by Brand Journalists association of Nigeria [BJAN]. Speaking during the award ceremony, the chairperson of the organization, Mrs. Neta Nwosu described BJAN as an affiliate body of the Nigerian Union of Journalists that saddled itself with the responsibility of bringing to the spotlight few distinguished Nigerians who have succeeded in cooperating visioning and branding in public in public governance; and expressed delight in the fact that some states are taking branding seriously. Mrs. Nwosu disclosed that BJAN monitored the developmental and transformative stride of various state governments in Nigeria and captured something extra-ordinary in Imo, occasioned by the paradigm shift Ohakim embarked upon, hence the decision to honour him as the Most Visionary and Brand Friendly Governor. Speaking also, the chairman of the occasion and former Minister of Information and Communication, Dr Alex Akinyele thanked BJAN for taking the initiative to honour two deserving global brands in the persons of governor Ikedi Ohakim and Prof. Dora Akunyili, adding that such gesture will spur other well meaning Nigerians to work harder, especially public office holders. Chief Akinyele who described Ohakim as a role model for Nigerian youths and an icon, prayed God to bless his second term bid to enable him continue his visionary and pacesetting leadership. In her speech, the guest speaker, Karen Post, who spoke on the theme: Incorporating Visioning and Branding in Public Governance” captured Ohakim’s Clean and Green Initiative as a product of branding that has taken Imo state and its brand-friendly Governor to international wave length. Karen, who advised individuals and governments to brand, stated that branding creates loyalty, attracts ambassadors, keeps right talents, instills trust in stakeholders and fosters public governance. Responding, Governor Ohakim noted that BJAN Award has vindicated him, regarding the effort to transform Imo into a modern model state; adding that his administration has removed bureaucratic red-tapism and god-fatherism; as well as used upwards of three years to emancipate Imo state from infrastructural decay, filth, youth employment, substandard education, lack of good road network, child and maternal mortality, lack of federal presence and backwardness in the face of 29 litigations, name calling and campaign of calumny. Governor Ohakim promised to take Imo state to greater heights in his second term. The award ceremony was well attended by distinguished Nigerians from all walks of life. |
