Governor Ugwuanyi pays an unscheduled inspection visit to some
council areas and school
The Governor of Enugu State, Chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has sent warning
signals to government officials, local government council chairmen and
their staff on the need to be punctual at duty posts and discharge
their duties creditably.
Governor Ugwuanyi sent the signals today, 3rd June 2015 when he paid
an unscheduled inspection visit to Awgu and Aninri local government
areas of the state.
The Governor who was accompanied by the deputy, Hon. Mrs. Cecilia
Ezeilo, the State Chairman of PDP, Chief Ikeje Asogwa, Mr. Victor
Atuonwu also visited Saint Vincent Secondary School Agbogwugwu.
At Awgu local government council, the governor and his entourage
arrived the headquarters at about nine O’clock in the morning only to
discover that principal officers of the council including the
chairman, Mr. Mathanus Nnanna Nze were not in the office to receive
him.
Most of the offices of the council were under luck and key with very
few staff mostly security men and cleaners.
The story was the same at Aninri local government council
headquarters, Ndiabo where the governor and his team arrived at about
9.50 a.m.
Apart from the Chairman’s office where the governor met a security man
on duty and two supporting staff Nneka Ndubisi and Judith Nwafor and
some youth corpers, the entire offices had not been opened.
On enquiry, the staff in the council area could not give satisfactory
explanation on the where about of the Chairman, Mr. Nwabueze Nwobodo
and his principal officers.
At Saint Vincent Secondary School Agbogwugwu, the story was different
as the Principal of the School, Mr. Silas Okafor and his staffs were
there to receive the Governor and his entourage.
The school was in full session and both teachers and the students were
in their classes doing their job. The Governor took special interest
in one of the classes and decided to stand by the students and listen
to the mathematics teacher deliver her lesson.
Addressing the students, Governor Ugwuanyi told them that the visit
was to inspect the school, interact with the students and teachers
with a view to identifying their problems.
He explained that his administration will give priority attention to
education development and will do every thing possible to ensure that
students in the state were given the best education as future leaders
of the state and Nigeria.
The governor took notice of three students who did not appear in their
school uniforms, Master Okafor Chisom, Kenneth Chukwuka and Udowo
Gideon and promised to assist them and also address the problems of
the school.
The Principal of the school, Mr. Okafor and some students drew the
attention of the Governor to some of their problems which included
poor office accommodation for staff, lack of classrooms, science
laboratories, library, toilet facilities and items of furniture,
repair of their Corpers’ Lodge that was gutted by fire, among others.
They therefore thanked the Governor for the visit to meet with them
and appealed to him to come to their aid and address their problems.
