Governor Ugwuanyi spoke at a civic reception organized by the seven communities of Eha Amufu, Isi-Uzo Local Government Area in honour of the former vice chancellor of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Abia State, Prof. Hilary Edeoga.
He praised Prof. Edeoga who he said used his position selflessly to “put smiles on the faces of many” and thanked the people of the council area for their support to his administration since its inauguration, adding that rehabilitation of the Ebonyi River bridge would commence soon. The former vice chancellor described the reception as a gratifying experience, noting that the Governor Ugwuanyi administration had similarly honoured him shortly after his retirement.
Describing the governor’s works on infrastructural development despite the current economic challenges facing the country as impressive, Prof. Edeoga canvassed support for the administration and prayed for its continued success.
