Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta has congratulated his Anambra counterpart, Prof. Charles Soludo and his Deputy, Dr Onyeka Ibezim, on their inauguration and assumption of office.The governor in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Olisa Ifeajika on Friday in Asaba, said that Soludo’s emergence as governor was epoch making.
He lauded the Aguata-born economist and former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria for his vision and promise of making Anambra a mega industrialised economy.Okowa said that though Soludo was coming into government at a time the economy of the country was at an all-time low, and insecurity a major challenge in the country.He, however, expressed hope that the renowned Professor of Economics would use his wealth of experience to change the narrative in Anambra.
He expressed optimism of a greater cooperation between Delta and Anambra, adding that as neighbours, they had so much to share.“On behalf of my family, the government and people of Delta, I congratulate my brother, Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo and his deputy, Dr Onyeka Ibezim, on their assumption of office.“
As neighbours, I look forward to greater cooperation and integration to make life meaningful for our people,” Okowa said while wishing Soludo a successful term in office. (NAN)
