The Nnewi North Local Government Area Mayor, Hon. Echezona Anazodo, has appointed ten new cabinet members for his second term in office.
The appointees were on Tuesday issued their appointment letters at the Nnewi North LGA Secretariat.
Hon. Anazodo said the appointments were made in line with his vision of strengthening governance for a progressive and prosperous Nnewi North Council Area.
He said the ten appointees are to help galvanise the administrative affairs of the local government.
Hon. Anazodo charged the appointees to bring their wealth of experience to bear towards achieving a greater Nnewi North Council Area.
Those appointed into the cabinet include: Hon. Chief Austin Manuel Jideofor – Supervisor for Finance, Hon. Barr. Marcel Dim Udebuani – Legal Adviser, Dr. Amobi Chikwendu – Senior Special Adviser on Political Matters, and Hon. Azubuike Uchedife – Supervisor for Peace and Security.
Others are: Hon. Godwin Odinanka Ekwulugwo – Supervisor for Works, Hon. Damian Okala – Supervisor for Agriculture, Hon. Prince Chukwudi Onyekaba – Supervisor for Environment, Hon. Onyeka Ibeneme – Supervisor for Education, Hon. Mrs. Uche Nwokenagu – Supervisor for Health, and Hon. Prince Ifekanachi Okeke – Press Secretary / Special Adviser on Media.
In his remarks, Dr. Amobi Chikwendu, Senior Special Adviser on Political Matters, thanked the Chairman on behalf of himself and other appointees, noting that the appointment is a call to service.
Dr. Chikwendu said he is passionate about his community, even as he recalled that personalities like Chief Louis Ojukwu, Chief Augustine Ilodibe and others were all passionate about Nnewi, a tradition he noted was handed down to Chief Cletus Ibeto and other millionaires.
“Nnewi is unique, we must guard our own, we must guard our tradition, our heritage, our market and other infrastructural facilities. I expect all of us appointed into the cabinet to work with the unique Nnewi spirit,” he said.
