The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), says former Enugu state Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is neither in hiding nor being probed for fraud.
Ugwuanyi’s achievements are open for all to see. For instance, a mid-2019 report by the National Bureau of Statistics named Enugu as one of the six states in Nigeria, which recorded the highest net gains in full-time employment over the years.”
“ Under Ugwuanyi’s watch, Enugu was also rated by the Financial Derivatives Company as one of Nigeria’s Most Financially Stable states alongside Lagos and Kano states.
“During his time, Ugwuanyi carried out reforms in the state’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which jerked up the internally generated revenue from N14 billion in 2016 to a record over N30 billion before he left office,” he said.
He further said that Ugwuanyi’s diligent implementation of business reforms resulted in the state’s recognition for the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) awards 2019 by former Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.
HURIWA’s team was in the former governor’s private home in Enugu and there is no truth in the rumours of his arrest.
“Ugwuanyi is a statesman and patriotic Nigerian committed to nation-building and he will never run away when he has no skeleton in his cupboard,” he said. (NAN)
