Enugu Youths Hail Ugwuanyi’s Governance Style

Youths of Enugu State have expressed gratitude to Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for galvanizing them to get involved in governance.
The youth also applauded the governor for his administration’s youth-friendly policies and programmes in the state which have brought the young ones together to chart a new course for their future.
Speaking during the unveiling of a book on “Power Shift”, held at The Base Landmark, Enugu, the author, Nonso Nnamani, stressed that Gov. Ugwuanyi has helped them to get involved in governance.
Nnamani, who is passionate about good governance, with wealth of political wisdom, explained that “the Power Shift we are talking about is not just power shift to the people; we are also advocating that people should get involved to see that governments at all levels succeed”.
He pointed out that when people are involved in politics, their actions and inactions would go a long way in shaping the future of Nigeria.
“So this conversation is that we shouldn’t just leave the responsibility of governance to people in power alone, there is what we can do, we can get involved in security; we can get involved in human development; we can become active participants in politics. That is what this conversation, Power Shift, is all about.
“We are grateful for your (Ugwuanyi’s) involvement in bringing people together and helping us to get involved in governance”, Nnamani said.
Also present at the event were the member representing Ezeagu Constituency, Hon. Chima Obieze, the Governor’s Special Assistant on Students’ Affairs, Comrade Chidi Ilogebe, and his Youth Affairs counterpart, Hon. Johnpaul Anih, among others.
In another development, many people have been reportedly killed while others were seriously wounded when some yet to be indentified hoodlums attacked Opanda village in Limbo Community in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State at the early hours of last Monday.
It was gathered that the unidentified persons used machetes to inflict different degrees of injuries on many people in the village, a development that allegedly led to the death of some of the victims.
Reliable Sources further disclosed that the villagers were still searching the bushes for more victims of the attack on Monday morning.
The Tide also learnt that about eight persons who were in critical condition have been taken to Enugu the state capital for medical attention.
