Press Week: Enugu journalists honour Gov Ugwuanyi with ‘Most Peaceful Governor award’
By Adeleye Kunle
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 (NUJ), 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”.
The Enugu NUJ Correspondents’ Chapel bestowed the award on Gov. Ugwuanyi during its 2022 Press Week/Annual Lecture in Enugu, with the theme: “2023: The New Electoral Act and The Media”.
Profiling Gov. Ugwuanyi’s uncommon leadership qualities and remarkable achievements in spite of the nation’s economic, security and public health challenges, the correspondents said that the governor “has demonstrated in clear terms that successful governance of a people, especially the provision of the proverbial democracy dividends can only be achieved in an atmosphere of peace,” disclosing: “That explains why Enugu today, stands tall as the most peaceful state in the country.”
They stressed that Gov. Ugwuanyi is a widely acknowledged peacemaker and a great achiever, stating: “His (Ugwuanyi’s) 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.
“And indices of these abound, especially in the novel manner Governor Ugwuanyi has continued to warm himself into the hearts of the people by opening his doors at a level that no other governor across the country would do.
“In the management of the economy of the state, for instance, he has already earned uncommon commendations for his outstanding frugality, the latest of such coming from the hall of ambassadors of countries serving 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
