Nsukka Cultural Zone Has Not Produced A Minister Since 1999 by DonProphet: 9:16pm On Oct 15, 2015 |
Enugu state is made up of three senatorial zones; Enugu North, Enugu East and Enugu West. Since the return to democracy in 1999 which is 16 years now, the state has been democratic in sharing elective political positions. In 1999, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani from Enugu East senatorial zone became the executive governor of the state, while Chief Okechukwu Itanyi from Enugu North senatorial zone became the deputy governor and the speakership goes to Enugu West in the person of Abel Chukwu. By 2007 Mr Sullivan Chime from Enugu West Senatorial Zone became the governor and Mr Sunday Onyebuchi from Enugu East Senatorial Zone became the deputy governor while Barr. Sunday Onyebuchi from Enugu North Senatorial zone became the speaker. This year, 2015, Hon Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi from Enugu North senatorial zone became the executive governor while Mrs Cecelia Ezilo from Enugu West senatorial zone became his deputy and the speakership goes to Enugu East senatorial zone. This rotation among the triangular equilibrium has brought political harmony in the land of Enugu. But in the case of ministerial appointments from the state since 1999 the case is not the same. The ministerial slots of the state has been rotated between Enugu East and Enugu West senatorial zones while Enugu North senatorial zone which has the highest population figure according to 2006 census figure watches. This is how it has been going since 1999: From 1999-2003 Chief Dubem Onyia from Enugu West Senatorial zone served as a Minister of state External Affairs From 2003-2007 Chief Frank Nweke Jnr. From Enugu East senatorial zone served as a Minister of Inter governmental Affairs, Information and Communication From 2007-2011 Mrs Fidelia Njeze from both Enugu West and East senatorial zones served as a Minister of State Agriculture and Defense From 2011-2015 Prof. Bath Nnaji from Enugu East senatorial zone and Prof. Chinedu Nebo from Enugu West senatorial zone served as Ministers of Power. Now, in 2015 Mr. Geoffrey Jideofor Onyeama from Enugu West Senatorial zone has been nominated to serve as a minister in the present government. It is worthy of note that Enugu North senatorial zone has the highest population figure in the state as illustrated below: ENUGU NORTH (1,228,586 populations) is made up of 6 local governments thus: Igbo Etiti 209,248 Igboeze North 259,431 Igboeze South 147,328 Nsukka 309,633 Udenu 178,466 Uzo Uwani 124,480 ENUGU EAST (1,166,548 populations) is made up 6 local governments thus: Enugu East 279,089 Enugu North 244,852 Enugu South 198,723 Isi Uzo 148,415 Nkanu East 148,774 Nkanu West 146,695 ENUGU WEST (1,054,711 populations) is made up of 5 local governments thus: Aninri 133,723 Awgu 390,681 Ezeagu 169,718 Oji River 126,587 Udi 234,002 |
