Moses Oyediran, Enugu

Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has informed all council chairmen and councillors living outside their local government areas to relocate back to their respective domains and promote effective local administration and development.

Gov. Ugwuanyi spoke at the Government House, Enugu, when he met with all the public office holders in the local government areas, namely, the council chairmen and their deputies; the councilors; supervisors; administrators and members of the development centres, among others.

The governor, who thanked God for His blessings and a peaceful and successful transition, stated that the essence of the meeting was to charge public officers at the grassroots to rededicate themselves to their responsibility of rendering service to the people at the rural areas, in line with his administration’s rural development policy.

He noted that his administration was highly committed and determined to fulfill the promises it made to the people during the campaign, stressing that it is only when those who were elected and appointed at the grassroots reside there with those who elected them that government’s programmes will be fully actualized.
