Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi administration’s support and active collaboration in the execution of Development Partner Assisted Projects in Enugu State has received commendations. Leaders and members of the ‘Development Partner-Family,’ operating in the state and their beneficiaries, trooped out en masse to the Government House, Enugu, to thank the governor for being behind the success story of their projects.
The Development Partners’ Family said they are satisfied and impressed that Ugwuanyi’s administration, in keeping with its policy thrust, leveraged and maximised the assistance of many development partners to make positive changes in the socio-economic development of Enugu State, especially in the rural areas.
They added that besides leveraging the Development Partners’ interventions, the remarkable achievements recorded were predicated on Ugwuanyi administration’s cardinal policy of institutionalisation of transparency, accountability, traceability and strict adherence to due process.
Speaking at the event, the Coordinating Officer of the Development Partners’ Project Implementation Units in Enugu, Uche Nnadi, said the governor’s attention, aided by the establishment of the State Focal Office for Development Partner Assisted Projects/Programmes, has reduced, to its barest minimum, operational and financial impunities in the sector.
Commending Ugwuanyi for his steadfastness and immeasurable support, Nnadi expressed optimism that the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State, Dr. Peter Mbah, who was present at the event, will take the governor’s efforts “a notch further towards attainment of the desired objective by attracting and sustaining more Development Partner Assisted Projects/Programmes, and effectively managing their operations transparently and accountably.”
