He is also not a rabble<br \/>\nrouser. He is an achiever par excellence who talks less and does more.<\/p>\n<p>In the last four years, Gov. Ugwuanyi has taken Enugu State to a different<br \/>\nlevel, focusing more on hitherto abandoned areas and touching the lives of<br \/>\nthe people. He is definitely not called Gburugburu for nothing. He is<br \/>\nindeed the man for all Enugu people.<\/p>\n<p>His infrastructural development is second to none in the history of Enugu<br \/>\nstate. From Nike Lake road; the Abakpa Nike road; the Opi-Nsukka dual<br \/>\ncarriage road; the Amaeke-Ngwo-Nsude- 9th Mile bypass; the<br \/>\nAmankwo-Amaeke-Amah Brewery Junction-9th Mile bypass; the Ohom Orba<br \/>\nJunction-Imilike Ani- Ezimo Uno- Ezimo Agu-Imilike \u2013Ogbodu Aba-Obollo<br \/>\nEtiti-Amalla-Obollo Afor ring road; the Enugu Road Junction-Umuezebi-Nru<br \/>\nJunction-University Gate road; the Post Office Roundabout- Odenigbo<br \/>\nRoundabout- Ogurugu Road-Ikenga road; Obeachara road; In just about four<br \/>\nyears, Ugwuanyi has indeed written his name in diamond in the history of<br \/>\nEnugu State.<\/p>\n<p>Ugwuanyi has opened up rural areas, developing and building road networks<br \/>\nto ease the pains farmers go through in transporting goods to the urban<br \/>\nareas. That,ont its own, is economic empowerment.<\/p>\n<p>Not only has he done infrastructure. The welfare of the people especially<br \/>\nworkers has been priority to the soft-spoken, easy going born-again<br \/>\nchristian.<\/p>\n<p>The payment of workers\u2019 salaries which has been a major priority for his<br \/>\nadministration, Civil servants, according to confirmed reports, receive<br \/>\nalerts on the 23rd of every month. This is aside from the 13th salary<br \/>\nevery December usually on the 13th.<\/p>\n<p>IGR is 13% of total revenue, NLC\/TUC part of utilization of state funds,<br \/>\n6000 ghost workers off the books, there is a &#8216;pay workers first&#8221; policy,<br \/>\nEnugu doesn&#8217;t use its share of Paris Club fund to pay salaries and<br \/>\npension.<\/p>\n<p>He has also found a way to connect with traders at the popular Okpara<br \/>\nSquare market through an empowerment scheme that allows them to win N50,<br \/>\n000 monthly for business expansion. Pensioners have a steady release of<br \/>\nN100million through which they get their gratuities.<\/p>\n<p>He is also in right standing with many political heavyweights, including<br \/>\nopposition figures who credit him for not being antagonistic. The PDP\u2019s<br \/>\ncampaign train has basically thrived on endorsements by critical<br \/>\nstakeholders in the state, especially artisans, traders, market women,<br \/>\nyouth organizations and ethnic nationalities.<br \/>\nIt is a high bar.<\/p>\n<p>Ugwuanyi aside from all his achievements in building the state, he has<br \/>\nalso maintained a very cordial relationship with past leaders of the<br \/>\nstate. This has promoted political peace in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Pointblanknews.com is deeply proud to nominate Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi<br \/>\nas GOVERNOR OF THE YEAR for his giant accomplishments in keeping Enugu<br \/>\nState as the true capital of the Eastern Region.
