Governor Nwifuru: A Trailblazer Whose Policies and Programs Are Proven Solutions

In his unwavering commitment to develop Ebonyi State beyond the condition he inherited, and in his sincere determination to improve the standard of living, create jobs, and open the state to investors, *the Executive Governor of Ebonyi State, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru,* has once again demonstrated prudence and proficiency by scoring yet another remarkable feat in infrastructural development.

His recent announcement to complete the long abandoned 10-storey building located at Presco Junctionafter 18years of abandonment is nothing short of monumental, historical, and exemplary. Governor Nwifuru, widely adjudged as a jinx-breaker for clearing gratuity backlogs dating from 1996 to Date, is now on the brink of another historical achievement. While many leaders struggle to complete projects initiated by past administrations, Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru is proving that true governance lies in continuity.

The economic significance of the 10-storey Trade Fair Centre, once completed, cannot be over emphasised, it is huge and immense. No wonder John Adams once said, “I must study politics and war, that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.” This deliberate embrace of continuity has, in no small measure, advanced generational progress, allowing each leader to build upon the legacy of their predecessors.

In just twenty-four months, Governor Nwifuru has earned the trust and admiration of Ebonyians in high measure. He has shown that wise leaders do not abandon the visionary paths laid before them, they walk those paths further so that others may one day complete the journey.

It is on this note that we, the members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ebonyi State Chapter, profoundly appreciate Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru for his outstanding leadership style, inclusiveness, and dedication. His exceptional leadership acumen is the reason APC continues to record successes in the state. His vision and mission have elevated Ebonyi to an enviable status.

Today, in Nigeria, when one speaks of a state that pays salaries and gratuities promptly, has one of the lowest crime rates, boasts well-equipped and functional general hospitals/healthcare centres, and ranks among the fastest developing states in the country, Ebonyi State stands proudly. This progress is thanks to a Governor who has rolled up his sleeves to ensure Ebonyi stands tall among the comity of economically progressive states in the nation.

Your Excellency, you have not only made our party proud in Ebonyi State but have also earned admiration of our Party (APC) at the zonal and National levels.

We thank God for anointing you as the Governor of Ebonyi State at such a time as this. We also reaffirm our unflinching loyalty, support, and dedication to actualizing all your noble aspirations for Ndi Ebonyi.

God bless Your Excellency!
