Acting in full conviction and satisfaction with the peaceful disposition of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, the Correspondents’ Chapel of the
Nigeria Union of Journalists , Enugu State Council, led by its Chairman, Mr. Lawrence Njoku, on Friday, conferred on the governor, the award of the “Most Peaceful Governor in Nigeria”.
They stressed that Gov. Ugwuanyi is a widely acknowledged peacemaker and a great achiever, stating: “His administration since May 29, 2015, has clearly achieved phenomenal landmarks, stunning mileages, and set unparalleled records in the annals of governance of states in Nigeria. “Yet, his administration has within so short a time become a lesson in massive infrastructure development that is gradually taking parts of the state by storm and graduating semi-urban areas to new urban areas while effecting a growing mass movement for opening up of rural areas of the state.
“Hence, in its rarest verdict in recent times on the stewardship of an elected governor in the country, the Nigeria Labour Congress described Ugwuanyi as a governor clearly with a magic wand, singling him out among all the 36 state governors in the country as the best in that wise.” The governor pointed out that he holds the Chapel and its members in high esteem and reckons with the utility of their services in building an informed society through the collection, preparation and dissemination of news.
“From its inception, our administration entrusted Enugu State to the Hands of God and we have continued to see His Hands in all we do. ‘Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you…’ is a biblical verse that highlights the fact that Peace comes from God. We have only been willing vessels of honour in the Hands of God.
