Ugwuanyi, who reiterated his administration\u2019s commitment to continue to advance good governance in the state through honest, accountable governance and optimal service delivery, also charged the new appointees to \u201cat all times show this sensitivity in the conduct of government business\u201d.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The governor disclosed that the essence of the retreat was to share the policy directions of his administration, facilitate the appointees\u2019 understanding of governance processes, secure their buy-in and build consensus on the state government\u2019s mission to continue to alleviate the sufferings of the people, saying: \u201cNdi Enugu expect nothing less from us\u201d.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Declaring that \u201cthe season of politics is over\u201d, Gov. Ugwuanyi noted that \u201cunder my watch, the governance mode is fully activated\u201d and \u201cour oath of office is to serve to the best of our ability and give fair and equitable treatment to all manner of persons irrespective of one\u2019s partisan interests, fashions and propensities. Therefore, this administration will not tolerate undue politicking\u201d.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The governor, who re-emphasized his administration\u2019s sense of urgency to deliver on its mandate within a short time, disclosed that it has assembled very competent resource persons who are well schooled in public sector management and governance issues to facilitate the policy and governance dialogue.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>According to him, \u201cyou will be assigned portfolios at the close of the retreat and thereafter we expect you to hit the ground running while fully utilizing the sectoral ad-hoc committees\u2019 overarching and sector-specific recommendations which constitute our strategic architecture for transformative governance.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cI recognize the inalienable rights of individuals to avail themselves the political process, but persons who are so inspired will have an opportunity to step aside and further their aspiration by half-time of this tenure during which we will inevitably reshuffle and rejig our administration. It is therefore my expectation that you will be guided appropriately.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cI enjoin you to maximize the benefits of this retreat by fully applying yourselves to the tasks ahead. I charge all of you to work as a team and to complement rather than compete with one another.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cI thank the team led by Prof. Chidi Onyia and other resource persons from our foremost Development Partner, UK-DFID, for their abiding support and solidarity\u201d.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The three-day retreat will end on Saturday, September 28.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Enugu State is in the hands of God.##<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, on Thursday, declared open the three-day retreat for the newly sworn in Commissioners and Advisers, charging them to hit the ground running and raise&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":69441,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
