The people of Enugu North senatorial zone under the aegis of Igbo Nsukka Global Association (INGA) have thanked President Bola Tinubu over the appointment and promotion of their sons as Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) and Deputy Inspector General (DIG) respectively, while appealing for one of their son or daughter to be considered for a the position of Minister from Enugu State.INGA in a statement made available to Journalist101, expressed their satisfaction with the appointment and promotion“We are highly elated and pleased that these two illustrious sons of ours have been picked by you to contribute to the security of our country at this point in time. We are very confident that they will effectively deliver on their respective responsibilities as they have always been exemplary in their previous assignments, demonstrating integrity, dedication and honesty, the common trademarks of our people.”
The statement which was signed by
High Chief Michael Urama (President), Hon Emma Idoko (General Secretary) and Dr. Engr Ambrose Ugwu (Diaspora Coordinator), noted that the appointment which has rekindled the hopes of inclusivity in the country makes their appeal for Ministerial position more timely in line with the campaign mantra of the president.
“These appointments of yours have rekindled hopes of inclusivity of the entirety of the Enugu State in the affairs of the country. Your mantra of Hope Renewed resonates with our people of Enugu North Senatorial District as we yearn for more inclusion in the development efforts and activities of our state and country.
“Permit us further, Your Excellency, to inform you that we have an abundance of such talents within the Senatorial District and that we urge you to include these sons and daughters of ours to serve you and your administration further. We, as one of the three Senatorial Districts of Enugu State, have hitherto not been called upon sufficiently and commensurately to contribute to the leadership of the country, despite the pool of potentials that we have of capable and eager persons. For example, the Ministers that our Enugu State has produced since 1999, who have no doubt effectively delivered verifiable quality services in their responsibilities, and for which we are proud of them, have however been also notable in the absence of any person from Enugu North Senatorial District.
Please see below the list of Ministers from Enugu State from 1999 till 2023.
“In Summary, Your Excellency, while our brothers and sisters from Enugu West Senatorial District have been called upon to serve as ministers for five times, and those from Enugu East have also served for two times, we of Enugu North Senatorial District are yet to serve. The situation is very similar in the consideration for other non-ministerial assignments and offices. We, of Enugu North Senatorial District, immediately profess our burning desire to contribute our own quota of service to your government and our country, not only as ministers but also as heads and members of various Boards, Companies and agencies of the Federal Government.
“Your Excellency, we therefore respectfully and humbly use this medium to request that you generously consider Enugu North Senatorial District sons and daughters for ministerial appointment and membership into different Federal Boards, Agencies, Institutions and Companies of the federal government. Our humble request is anchored on the premise, alter and doctrine of equity, fairness and justice.
“We thank you again for the appointment you have already made of our sons as we look forward for the much you will still do for us. May God continue to guide you as you continue to lead our dear country to safety, success and greatness.”
