Amb. Nzeribe Okegbue, a philanthropist and Security Expert, has applauded Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State over the appointment of Commissioners and re-constitution of five different agencies/parastatal boards.

In a statement, Okegbue said the governor has shown leadership and commitment to the people of the state.

He, however, pointed out the need for the governor to ensure equity in his appointments.

While congratulating the appointees and encouraging them to do their best in ensuring improvement in the living standard of Abians, Okegbue stressed that from news reportage, out of twenty-seven appointed Commissioners, some Local Government got three to four slots while Ikwuano LGA only got one in favour of Prince Obinna Okey and that even the newly re-constituted agencies/parastatals boards have no Ikwuano indigene included.

“This does not show equity at all, considering the economic contributions of Ikwuano LGA to Abia state, including human capacity,” he said.

Continuing, Okegbue stated that even the popular markets in Ikwuano, namely Ariam market and Ndioru markets generate revenue for the government and could generate more if properly reconstructed and standardised.

“Ikwuano also have a voting strength of about sixty thousand, with a Federal Root Crops Research Institute, and Federal University of Agriculture located in the area.

“These institutions one way or the other contribute to the state and Federal Government Gross Domestic Product” he reiterated.

Okegbue, therefore, urged Ikpeazu to look include more of Ikwuano people in his administration.
