The Enugu State Traditional Rulers’ Council applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the confirmation and swearing-in of Dr. Kingsley Udeh as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The Senate confirmed Dr. Udeh’s nomination earlier yesterday, and he was subsequently sworn in by President Tinubu at the State House.
In a statement, Chairman of the council, Igwe Samuel Ikechukwu Asadu, hailed the appointment as a moment of pride for Enugu State and a signal of the Federal Government’s recognition of excellence and merit.
“We are delighted by the Senate’s confirmation and the President’s swift action in swearing in our son, Dr. Kingsley Udeh. His journey to this national office is a testimony to his tireless service, intellectual distinction and unblemished character,” Igwe Asadu said.
The Council commended President Tinubu for entrusting such an important responsibility to Udeh, affirming that his inclusion in the Federal Executive Council reflects the President’s commitment to bringing capable hands on board.
The statement also paid glowing tribute to the efforts of the Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, whose leadership, they noted, had played a crucial role in re-establishing a constructive and strategic connection between Enugu and the centre.
“The strategic rapport Governor Mbah has cultivated with the Federal Government is beginning to bear fruit.
This appointment strengthens Enugu’s voice at the national level and continues to spotlight our state as a hub of talent, capacity and forward-thinking governance,” the Council observed.
Expressing confidence in Udeh’s ability to excel in his new role, the Council offered prayers for wisdom, guidance and success, urging him to remain true to his principles and the values of Enugu people.
“We trust that Udeh will serve with distinction and his tenure will bring honour to the land of his birth. His appointment is a blessing to us all,” Igwe Asadu concluded.
