Anambra govt only interested in those with real value – Deputy Gov
Lawrence Nwimo, Awka
Anambra State Deputy Governor, Dr Onyekachukwu Ibezim has advised people of the state to endeavor to equip themselves with relevant skills that will be beneficial to the development of the state.
The deputy governor gave the advise at St Mark’s Anglican Church, Umuawulu in Awka South local government area, Anambra State, Sunday.
He said the state government is only interested in those that will add value to the state, instead of employing people that has no value and may not even fit into the goals of the state.
According to him, “The governor has promised more appointment, but he is not employing people to look for what they would do; rather, he only looks for those who are ready and who would add value to the positions.
“If you watch, all the appointments in the state so far were based on value proposition. We got people that are adding value in what they do and that is why the state is moving forward,” Ibezim said.
Speaking further, Dr Ibezim stated that the state government will be embarking on post-flood rehabilitation exercise to cushion the effect of flooding on people displaced by floods in the state.
He said, “We are planning our post flood rehabilitation because those victims of flood disaster had means of livelihood and homes taken over and destroyed by water. The state government cannot leave them like that after the floodings. They will need somewhere to go to and something to go back to, else they would suffer.”
He, however, expressed joy at the level of support the state government has gotten from spirited individuals and organizations who, he said, has contributed immensely to helping flood victims in the state.
