Governor Uduaghan is Vanguard Man of the Year 2013

When we conducted the election for our Man-Of-The-Year 2013 which is usually carried out by our Board of Editors, the overwhelming majority of votes were in favour of Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, the Executive Governor of Delta State. It was not just his efforts in the passing year that won him the honour. He has run the affairs of the state for 78 months, largely succeeding in dousing the burning dichotomy between the two major sections of the state. Uduaghan’s innovations which were copied by other states include the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC). Nearly all the other oil producing states have established their own “PADEC” committees to ensure that oil producing areas get more from the riches of their land than ever before, thus reducing the youth unrest and violence in those areas.
Uduaghan has also battled intense criminality in his state, particularly kidnapping, armed robbery, militancy and sea piracy in conjunction with the law enforcement agencies and the armed forces. He has thrown open the economy of the state and given free access to investors from within and outside the country in his fervent bid to prepare the state for the day when oil will no longer be its main income earner.
The Delta State Chief has also been a great stabilising force in the politics of his state and the South-South Zone. He is an enthusiastic flag bearer to build a solid political bridge with the South East and indeed, all the zones of the country for the unity and stable progress of the nation.

All the institutions in nigeria are corrupt,including the press.Their awrds are for the dogs.

Uduaghan is working and he will finish strong by the Grace of God

Nigerians deserve the kind of leaders they have.....

Vanguard have just shot themselves on the foot. How much did he pay them to soil their name?

This country will never move forward if we remain like this. what has the man done? all standard secondary schools in delta state especialy Agbor, are no longer functional. he trickishly handed them over to missionaries. St charle's college Abavo, formerly Abavo grammar school, Ika grammar school, Ggbenoba grammar school and many others are now ghost of their fomer selves. I use this medium to call on all old boys of this great schools to assist in rooeversing this urgly decision of Uduaghan's administration. l
