Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State appoints the National Vice
President of National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Comrade
Chidi Ilogebe and former Vice President of National Youth Council of
Nigeria (NYCN) Comrade Ogechukwu Nnamene as Special Assistants on
Students and Youth Affairs, respectively.
The appointments were sequel to a meeting between the governor and
coalition of youths and students’ leaders in the state, and the need
to fill the vacancy created as a result of the resignation of the
former SA to the Governor on Youth Affairs, Hon. Emeka Asogwa, who is
contesting for the Nsukka/IgboEze South Federal Constituency seat.
Gov. Ugwuanyi, who considered the duo for the appointments after the
coalition unanimously nominated them, directed the Secretary to the
State Government, Dr. G.O.C Ajah to issue them appointment letters
with immediate effect, noting that the decision was in keeping with
the vision to accommodate more young persons in the governance of the
state.
The enthusiastic students and youths, through the state Chairman of
NYCN, Comrade Paschal Ugwu, commended Gov. Ugwuanyi for his
benevolence and commitment to their welfare as well as his
administration’s impactful leadership and reiterated their earlier
stance on his endorsement for a second term in office, reassuring him
that they will mobilize massively and vote for him during the election
