It has come to the knowledge of the newspaper, that Governor Umahi is busy uplifting Ebonyi state and its people from the decimate status that hitherto characterised it. The special recognition annual award ceremony is an expression of gratitude and encouragement for trademark of excellence. To the group, the governor’s approach to governance is a model that should be emulated. His courage in tackling the infrastructural deficiencies in the state and unparallel efforts to reposition the development index of Ebonyi state is making waves across the country.
Since destiny beckoned on him to shoulder the heavy responsibility of leadership in Ebonyi state, the area has witnessed a fresh breath.
The award attests to the kind of leadership the governor has provided. Governor Umahi is a golden fish that has no hiding place. As he is busy trying to achieve posterity records and successes, individuals and organisations like Authority Newspapers have seen great virtues in him. This award would among other things serve as a tonic that will boost governance in Ebonyi state.
Congratulations in advance Your Excellency.
