GOVERNOR David Umahi has announced plans to appoint 1,300 liaison officers across the 13 local government areas of the state and an other 1,300 aides at the state level.
The new appointments, he said, would introduce fresh blood in the affairs of the state, and act as catalyst for further rural integration in governance.
The governor, who made the announcement yesterday while speaking in an interdenominational church service held at the Government House Chapel, Abakaliki, maintained that his administration would not relent in repositioning the youths for leadership in the state through various kinds of empowerment, employment and mentorship.
Governor Umahi further hinted that the state government would be reaching out to Ebonyians in Lagos, Aba, Anambra, Owerri and Abuja in another phase of its ongoing empowerment programmes.
“We will be doing empowerment for our brothers and sisters in Lagos, Anambra, Aba and Abuja in our next phase.”
The governor, who announced that the takeover process of the David Umahi University of Health Sciences, Uburu, would be completed in January 2023, charged admission seekers to take advantage of the ongoing admission processes to enroll in the institution.
“Admission is going on in David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences. Let me say that there is a lot of miracles in that university and the school fees has been reduced.”
