Although there are many identifiable positive attributes of the man, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi but one distinctive nature of his personality is his character of building and sustaining bridges of understanding and harmony amongst the political class in particular and the wider society in general. Nothing could explain better this unassuming personality in an era where humility is a scarce commodity among the ruling political class. Nothing yet explains a true leader who works round the clock to ensure the good of his subjects, yet remains cool headed and refusing to take the credit for himself or his government but in humility attributing every achievement to the grace and guidance of the Almighty God.
Ugwuanyi is a man with uncommon attribute marked for leadership. This uncommon quality of pursuing harmony without raising dust have had to rear it’s positive head for the umpteenth time in the course of his six year sojourn in the Lion Building. The latest being his right effort to launch Enugu State in the league of states designated as oil bearing states.
Governor Ugwuanyi while advocating for equity and fairness in the consideration of oil bearing states noted that it is only right that Enugu should join her neighboring states of Anambra and Kogi since they share same oil basin at same location, two of which have already been designated as oil bearing states.
Displaying his signature gap dentition in his characteristics peaceful mien, Ugwuanyi called on the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) to expedite action on the process of formally designating Enugu as an oil-bearing state in the country while proposing a 50-50 revenue sharing formula among Enugu/Anambra/Kogi states in the spirit of understanding, equity and fairness.
While receiving in audience the Commissioners and top management team of RMAFC led by the Chairman, Indices and Disbursement Committee, Mr. Chris A. Akomas at the Government House, Enugu recently, Gov.Ugwuanyi displayed his goodwill as usual while calmly demanding for equal and an egalitarian society where everyone would be happy to cohabit and enjoy God given resources without quarrel. Let’s give it to this rare gentleman of a leader who is sufficiently wired and have all it takes to lead a new generation society. If he has done this much in Enugu State, Nigeria as a nation would definitely have a generous dose of his good character if he is given the chance to lead our country in the next dispensation. It is possible! It is doable. May God who rules in the affairs of men, perfect this to His own glory, Amen…
Enugu state is still in the hands of God.
Bibian Anekwe News added – “Leadership is the ability to guide others without force into a direction or decision that leaves them still feeling empowered and accomplished.”.”
