Obiano Calls For Collective Efforts Towards Building A Better Nigeria
The Governor made the call during a Eucharistic service at
Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, Awka, in commemoration of this year’s Armed Forces
and Remembrance Day Celebration.
Governor Obiano represented by his Deputy, Dr. Nkem Okeke
who described security as every body’s business charged all to always
contribute to the strengthening of the security apparatus of the State and
Nigeria at large.
The Governor while commending Officers and Men of the
security agencies in the State for all their efforts in ensuring adequate
security of life and property in Anambra, called on officers and Men of the
Nigeria Armed Forces to be more committed to duty to ensure a safer and
stronger Nigeria, and encouraged Nigerians to always support the security
agencies to enable them serve the country better.
Earlier in a homily, the Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese,
Most Reverend Paulinus Ezeokafor whose message centered on Christ’s baptism,
charged Christians to always portray Christ through their daily lives.
He called on Government at different levels to place
priority on security of life and property which he said is the cardinal
function of the government.
Bishop Ezeokafor
commended Governor Willie Obiano for his effective security network in Anambra
State which he noted has restored the confidence of investors to Anambra State
and called on other Governors to emulate him.
The service also witnessed the presence of the Speaker of
the State House of Assembly, Mr Uchenna Okafor, State Head of Service, Mr Harry
Uduh, Managing Director of Awka Capital Territory Development Authority,
Venerable Amaechi Okwuosa, President Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Anambra State Chapter,
Chief Damain Okeke-Ogene, Managing Director of Anambra State Synage and
Advertisement Agency, Chief Jude Emecheta, among other government
functionaries.
The service featured renditions by the choir, and special
prayers for the State Deputy Governor, Dr. Nkem Okeke who will clock sixty
today .
