The Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, on Monday said residents are happy with the exemplary performance and visionary leadership of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State.
Mbaka said: “We, the Enugu State people and residents, are happy with Governor Ugwuanyi’s performance so far.”
He said this during the Holy Mass organised to inaugurate the 2016/2017 Legal Year of the state Judiciary held at his ministry.
The cleric noted that it is instructive that Ugwuanyi’s administration had enthroned peace across the state and united diverse political interests.
He said: “I will implore everybody in the state to continue to support his administration because it has been anointed by God to do the right things.”
Mbaka noted that the governor’s leadership style has fostered development especially in this period of recession.
He said: “I am always praying to God to grant him the grace to expand infrastructural growth to sub-urban communities to link up such areas with the urban centres.”
Describing the new legal year as “a year of favour”, Mbaka advised lawyers to have the fear of God and eschew corruption in the discharge of their responsibilities.
He also enjoined the younger generation of lawyers to imbibe the ethics of hard work and discipline that would enable them to rise to the zenith of their career.
Mbaka stated: “I pray that the new session will usher in a turnaround in their career.”
Commenting on the nation’s economy, the cleric advised the Federal Government to look inward to find ways of diversifying the economy to create jobs and empower the youth.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Ugwuanyi and most of his aides attended the mass.
Other dignitaries included the acting Chief Judge of the state, Justice Priscilla Emehelu; the President of Enugu State Customary Court of Appeal, Justice George Nnamani; and the state’s Commissioner for Justice, Chief Mellitus Eze.
