Recently, the chairman, House of Representatives committee on public accounts, Rt. Hon. Wole Oke, who represents Obokun/Oriade federal constituency of Osun State, gave a good account of the policy thrust of the administration of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State and its positive impact on the lives of the people of the State.
Attributing the governor’s uncommon leadership style to his administration’s success story, the public accounts committee chairman maintained that, “that is why Enugu has remained a peaceful State and has witnessed the level of progress we have seen in the rural areas, unlike what we have in other states where a governor will concentrate development in the state capital”.
Ugwuanyi, in spite of the nation’s daunting economic challenges, the state’s lean resources and recent security challenges, has remained undaunted and resolute in his sustained efforts to build the Enugu State of the founding fathers’ dream, where peace, harmony, inclusive governance and rapid development hold sway.
In clear terms, the landslide victory, which was unprecedented in spite of the fact that it was the first time the State went to the polls as an opposition political party to the ruling party at the national level, was indeed a referendum on the governor’s outstanding performance. It was indeed a deliberate step anchored on the core values of justice, equity and fairness in an uncommon zeal to “take up the gauntlet of the struggle for the emancipation of the Wawa man from where our heroes past stopped”.
In keeping with its commitment to zero tolerance for potholes on roads built by past administrations and maintenance of existing infrastructure, the state government, acting on professional advice, has announced plans to commence fixing of potholes created recently by persistent rainfalls, once the rains subside.
Besides the foregoing, the following were among the development projects successfully delivered to standard by Gov. Ugwuanyi’s administration in the last four years. The 49km Udenu Ring road linking over 10 adjoining communities with three bridges equally stands out as one of the legacy projects of Ugwuanyi’s administration in the rural areas.
Others include, the Secretariat Road, G.R.A, Enugu; Court Avenue by New State Secretariat, Enugu; Ibuza Street at Independence Layout, Enugu; Isi Uzo Street at Independence Layout, Enugu; Owerri Road, Poly Clinic Road, Carter Street, Ogidi Street and Onyeama lane in Asata, Enugu; rehabilitation of Okwuosa Bridge, Ogui, Enugu; renovation of the Enugu State House of Assembly Complex and rehabilitation and re-asphalting of the popular Michael Okpara Square, Enugu, etc.
