A chieftain of Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA), Chief
Martins Okolie, has advised Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State to
focus more on youth empowerment in Enugu State.
Okolie gave the advice while speaking to newsmen in Enugu on Thursday
on his assessment of Ugwuanyi’s administration in the past two years.
“I have seen civil servants smile home with 13th month salary and salaries paid regularly; which I applaud him for.
“I will also commend him in the area of Small Medium Enterprise (SME)
development and traders’ empowerment. However, much needed to be done
in the area of youths empowerment and development,’’ he said.
Okolie, who was the candidate of PPA in Enugu State Governorship
Election in 2015, said youths should be carried along in all the
government’s development agenda.
The PPA chieftain also urged Ugwuanyi to ensure that ongoing rural roads are completed within specified quality and due time.
“I must commend Ugwuanyi’s vision on massive rural roads construction
in the state, especially the Millkin Hill Road and many other rural
roads under construction in the state.
“I will advise that contractors handling these rural road projects
are closely supervised to ensure that roads constructed would last for
years,’’ he said.
