place for all citizens”, Gov. Ugwuanyi noted that “while others are lamenting
the harsh effects of the recession, we are forging ahead in all areas of
development and strengthening the bonds that tie us together.
Even our pensioners are not left out
in the celebration of this new dawn as they now receive their pensions
regularly”. “We know of course, that these achievements are the result of our
collective efforts as people of one family. You have indeed been there for us
from the very first day. You have shown us understanding and patience and have
freely given us your cooperation as we sought to navigate our way through the
very difficult economic and social conditions that we met. “I have nonetheless,
taken due note of all the areas of concern that you have dutifully outlined and
I want to assure you that, despite the daunting economic challenges currently
facing us, the God that fed five thousand people with five loaves and two fish,
will also make it possible for us to address and resolve these issues
satisfactorily and comprehensively”, the governor stated.
