In recognition of his development strides in providing critical infrastructure, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, CON, governor of Delta State, has been honoured as Governor of the Year 2013 by the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ).
A statement signed by Dupe Olaoye-Osinkolu, chairman, and Uchechukwu Akinobi, secretary, of NAWOJ, Lagos State chapter, said the award is for Uduaghan’s outstanding accomplishment in tackling the multi-faceted problems of development in Delta State as well as his commitment to alleviating the plight of the ordinary people.
“After a painstaking and critical appraisal of all the state governors and the impact of their programmes on the citizenry, we are happy to inform the general public that Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan has been selected as NAWOJ Governor of the Year.
The association praised Governor Uduaghan for the infrastructural development in the state and the diversification of the state’s economy through the Delta Beyond Oil initiative.
It also identified the health system, transportation, scholarship scheme for students, micro- credit scheme that has affected the lives of people in the state, youth empowerment scheme and public viewing centres as areas that set Governor Uduaghan apart as a leader of vision.
“His accomplishments since he came to power have given succour to the ordinary people and hope to millions.” the statement said.
The award ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, May 15, 2014 at Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Ikeja ahead of NAWOJ’s delegates’ conference that begins the following day.
