Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, has inaugurated a 17-man committee on conflict resolution, chaired by Dr. Uchenna Ogbu.
Ugwuanyi, inaugurating the committee, said the body is saddled with the responsibility of reconciling individuals, communities and institutions.
The governor said his administration, in the past five years, has “strived to build an Enugu State of our dreams, where there is peace and common brotherhood.”
He pointed out that the committee was set up in recognition that in every community, there are bound to be conflicts because of individual differences.
Ugwuanyi, therefore, urged the committee to ensure conflicts are resolved through dialogue and reconciliation, thereby helping government to discharge its responsibility.
Reiterating his administration’s resolve in setting up other institutional and legal frameworks for dispute resolution, the governor stated that “Enugu State is the first state in the whole of Southeast to set up the Multi-door Court House in 2018 and the third in the country after Lagos and Abuja”.
Responding on behalf of others, Ogbu thanked the governor for finding them worthy to serve in the committee, assuring him of their commitment.
Members of the committee include Hon. Donatus Okechukwu Uzogbado, Hon. Dr. Emeka Ogbuabor, Hon. Mrs. Dame Lydia Nkechi Omeje-Ogbu, Hon. Matthew Erochukwu Ugwueze, Hon. John Kevin Ukuta, Hon. Nelson Uduji, Hon. Agbo Joseph Ugwumba, Hon. Johnbull Nwagu and Hon. Philip Nnamani.
