From Okwe Obi, Abuja
President Bola Tinubu has been commended for appointing John Ugochukwu Uwajumogu, as Special Adviser on Industry, Trade, and Investment.
The commendation was handed down by the Okigwe Forum, which noted that Uwajumogu would deploy his wealth of experience to reshape the economy of the country.
The Forum’s Collins Anoro, in a statement, yesterday described the appointment of Nwajumogu as the ‘right step in the right direction.’
“I was so fixated in that belief until a few days ago when he appointed a young man who is not a member of any political party.
“I am sure that John Uwajumogu is not a Nigerian politician. The last interaction I had with him kept me thinking that he should come to Macedonia and help us. This young man is not only intelligent, I call him a whizkid.
“He has done so many jobs for other countries, he is a professional and what anyone would consider a technocrat.
“I thank God he has accepted the appointment which I see as one of the best things that has happened to this administration.
“I became relaxed to a great extent with this administration when I heard that announcement. It became an eraser that has cleaned several minds of the government of Bola Tinubu.
“This singular action has increased the public legitimacy of the government. The majority of youths are happy that for the first time in Nigeria, Competence and capacity are taking the driver’s seat.
“I cannot remember when a youth who is not a politician, who does not have a godfather was recruited in the first ten appointments of any administration.
“The appointment of such persons in other administrations has been a compensation or a political quota to that set of generations.
“I congratulate Mr President for this bold step in revitalizing the fortunes of the country. I, therefore, charge Mr Uwajumogu to go there and make us proud.”
