Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has been commended for appointing Mr. Theophilus Chuks Aguonye as Permanent Secretary in the Delta State Civil Service.
The commendation was given in a resolution by members of Amai G5 during their monthly meeting at Amai in Ukwuani LGA.
The Group in a press statement signed by Ogbuefi Oliver Achugbue, Vice President and Chief Ben-Oscar Nwachukwu, immediate past President, stated that the appointment of Mr. Aguonye, who is their member as a Permanent Secretary can be described as a square peg in a square hole.
Members of the Association also commended Governor Okowa for awarding the construction of Amai/Aragba-Orogun Road, which they said will facilitate easy access to other neighbouring communities by indigenes of Amai kingdom and residents as well, thereby opening up the area to meaningful development.
The Group also called on Governor Okowa to consider the appointment of qualified Amai sons and daughters to the higher bench of the judiciary and also consider them for political appointments in the State.
Also as part of their request from the government, they pleaded for posting of more teachers to Amai Mixed Secondary Commercial School and the Primary School and also the equipping of the Schools and the construction of the township roads in the community.
They congratulated the Governor-elect, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori and the Deputy Governor elect, Mr. Monday Onyeme for their victory in the just concluded gubernatorial elections, while pledging their unflinching support and loyalty to the present administration and also to the incoming one.
