Another accolade for Gov. Ugwuanyi as Independent Newspapers name him Grassroots Development Governor of the Year 2018

The Management and Board of Editors of Independent Newspapers Limited, publishers of Daily Independent, Saturday Independent and Sunday Independent have nominated Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State as Governor of the Year 2018 for Grassroots Development.

It would be recalled that the Sun and Vanguard Newspapers have also recently named Gov. Ugwuanyi as the “2018 Sun Governor of the Year” and “Vanguard Governor of the Year 2018”, respectively, for entrenching peace and good governance in Enugu State.

Presenting the letter of nomination to Gov. Ugwuanyi on Tuesday, at the Government House, Enugu, the Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of Independent Newspapers Limited, Mr. Ade Ogidan, stated that the selection committee took the decision based on “the pragmatism, commitment and courage” the governor has exhibited since he assumed office in transforming “the state to the cynosure of all eyes as regards infrastructural and grassroots development.”

Mr. Ogidan added that the governor has through his purposeful and responsive leadership “positively improved the socio-economic condition of the people in the state, despite the dwindling resources at the disposal of the state government”.

The managing director said that they were impressed “that peace and security in the state have continued to thrive, with Enugu listed as the state with the least criminal cases compared with other states of the federation”, disclosing that “the attention of the nation has been shifted to the historical state”.

He pointed out that the media outfit was also delighted at “the steadfastness and multi-dimensional approach of your administration in addressing issues that affect the people of the state”, especially those in the rural areas.

Mr. Ogidan also highlighted the governor’s achievements in creating jobs for the teeming unemployed youths and other empowerment programmes, qualitative and affordable healthcare delivery at the grassroots, and sports, among others.

His words: “Worthy of note is your administration’s efforts in getting the youths engaged through job creation. Only recently, 750 youths were trained for 12 months on various skills by the Enugu State Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) office.

“Within the same period, the office of the Special Assistant to the Governor on Youth Affairs trained and retrained thousands of youths in various skills/trade in agriculture, soap making, cosmetology and digital technology.

“The health sector of the state has come alive with the construction of district hospitals and training of 400 volunteer workers for health intervention programmes in rural communities.

“Certainly, Your Excellency’s commitment to empowerment programmes aimed at alleviating the suffering of the people and aiding the youth and women to be self-sufficient have remained one of the focal points of this administration.

“It is for the foregoing reasons that we have bestowed on you the richly deserved award of Independent Newspapers Limited Grassroots Development Governor of the Year 2018”.

The award ceremony, according to the managing director, is scheduled for January 12, 2019, at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Enugu State is truly in the hands of God! #amokelouis

Hahahaha bought award, he is only developing the grassroots on billboard.

sullivan chime who can be called the father of modern day Enugu never needed this type of PR campaign. Ugwuanyi should be the last political governor Enugu should have. Even chimaroke is better. We need working technocrats and business men like Peace mass transit owner....and even smart Anambra people like alo aluminium who now call Enugu home. Not fat man with low IQ. Enugu is not benue biko.

Enugu is the capital of South East...while onitsha is the commercial city and owerri is the flexing city...aba is the 2nd commercial/industrial city and abakaliki is gradually becoming the new industrial hub.

God bless Igboland

yes i agree...but...aba is also commercial...like onitsha. Nnewi is more industrial and less commercial...abakaliki is becoming more industrial...with almost zero commerce

God will punish these cheap propagandists laundering the image of this clueless man. Enugu has never had it this bad.

THE IGBO NATION SHOULD PREPARE GOVERNOR IFEANYI UGWUANYI FOR THE PRESIDENCY COME 2023.

He is a material for the post of President of Nigeria.

He is broadminded man with a free mind much more better than even PETER OBI. ( Atiku running mate )

The only edge Peter Obi has over him is just the money management experience and banking/economics management skill.

But who care? That can equally be sorted out when the chips are down.

Governor Ugwuanyi can make the difference if considered for the post of President of Nigeria.

Some don't know that there is more to governance than road construction

Ugwuanyi is an illiterate incompetent local champion, who has failed even as a governor. Please don't mention that dumb clown anywhere near a renowned technocrat like Obi. You wawa people are just mediocres. That was the same reason Ekweremmadu was pushed aside when Atiku/PDP needed a VP from the SE.

Just look at how the incompetent failed governor is moving around buying newspaper awards just for election instead of using the same funds to work in his failed state. You guys sux.
