A Civil Society Organization, Coalition of Civil Society and Media Executives for Policy Stability (COCMEP) has attributed at least 80% regular physical presence of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi in Enugu State as the secret behind good governance and development strides in the state.
The statement issued by National President of COCMEP, Comrade Innocent Ebirim Okadigbo stated that the regular presence of the Governor in the state and his constant touch with the people has made him to understand their needs, preserved resources and launched holistic and realistic approach in governance and development.
Okadigbo remarked that COCMEP has monitored the Governor’s activities in the past one year and half on monthly basis and discovered through recording of his trips that he has scored about 80 percent presence in the state.
If one puts any enquiry about the Governor’s presence; the frequent response is that he is in Enugu and other responses show that he is either just leaving Enugu or just coming into Enugu.
COCMEP President stated that the list of the Governor’s strides is inexhaustible but mentioned infrastructure, road networks, educational facilities, tourism, trade and investment, transportation, health projects, economic empowerment projects, workers welfare, peace and security, agriculture, rural development as some of the sectors Ugwuanyi has recorded remarkable achievements in less than two years in office.
COCMEP blamed frivolous and frequent trips outside the state and globetrotting as distraction and big drain on states’ resources and governance and therefore commended Ugwuanyi’s modest trips outside the state as worthy of emulation by other leaders in the country.
