Nonsense. That's not Commissioner for Works

SOLUDO APPOINTS NEW PERMANENT SECRETARIES BY STRICT MERIT

Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, has approved the appointments of new permanent secretaries across the civil service ministries in the state.

In line with his reforms agenda to ensure transparency, accountability and optimal delivery of good governance to Ndi Anambra, the new appointments were subjected to stringent due process and merit, not minding extraneous factors such as state of origin or any other affiliation.

Specifically, a meticulous and transparent process was employed in the selection of prospective candidates for the esteemed positions of Permanent Secretaries.

Recognizing the overriding importance of fairness and meritocracy, a comprehensive search method was meticulously crafted and implemented.

The uncompromising process includes the following:

*Computer Based Exam:*

Meritocracy was the basis, as candidates underwent rigorous aptitude tests. Criteria such as professional spread, Local Government Area (LGA) representation, and remaining years in service were carefully considered. This ensured the identification of high-performing individuals in different professions and senatorial zones who are poised to excel within the Civil Service.

*Search Process:*

Acknowledging the dedication and contributions of candidates in their respective ministries, a performance-centric approach was integrated. Those who exhibited exceptional commitment and hard work were duly recognized, aligning with the principle of rewarding merit and fostering a culture of excellence.

*One-on-One Interaction with Mr Governor:*

As a final layer of scrutiny, each shortlisted candidate underwent a one-on-one interview with Mr Governor. This personalized interaction allowed for a deeper understanding of the candidates' aspirations, vision, and alignment with the government's objectives, ensuring a well-rounded evaluation.

It is imperative to note that historically, the selection of Permanent Secretaries solely rested with the prerogative of Mr Governor. However, this time, a deliberate shift towards a transparent search process was initiated.

This change aimed to uphold principles of fairness, equal opportunity, and the identification of the most qualified candidates.

Below is the list of names of the newly appionted permanent secretaries

Wahala be like wetin again

I don't know if I'm allowed to give my own take on this topic.

*Homosexual* behaviours aren't or may not be that demonic as some unenlightened Catholic deputy-Jesus thought....But even if it is, I know the universal church does not condemn or discriminate against Homosexuals (who are naturally born that way as proven by science) but does not support the act since it's a sin. Hence they are called to live a life of chastity (our priest should know this doctrine better and I stand to be corrected).
However, the church is filled with both saints and sinners seeking for repentance. The church is like a clinic where the healthy comes to checkmate themselves to remain healthy and where the sick come to take therapy to be better or fully well.
We have abortionists and killers, fornicators, adulterers, pedophiles, celibacy vow breakers, scammers, deviants etc in all ministries of the Church..if fair is to be fair they all should be given same similar rules..

Secondly that someone is effeminate doesn't mean they may be gay or inversely lesbians but a fact remains that there are sexuality)Gender based chromosomal/hormonal mutation (imbalance-in my layman understanding ) in some humans which if I'm to be logical, they should not be blamed or bigoted over it.
You can't try this in developed countries not because it has been their lifestyle (after all we claim homosexuality is a western culture but that's a fat lie cus studies shows Africans have been hypocrites as usual) but because it is the fair, reasonable and right thing to do and equity isn't shamed in the real sense..
This rule is so unfair, dehumanizing, against human right of a person as both irreligious and Religious Citizen period..
This is My humble unbiased
opinion..
you are Free to assume or conclude anything but don't come for my head abeg..Obi never become President yet😌

THE DEATH OF A GAY CHORISTER: INTERIM PROVISIONS FOR ONITSHA ARCHDIOCESAN CHOIRS

Dear Choristers,

By now many of us are aware of the scandal-ridden death of one of our choristers, who comes from our Archdiocese by origin, whose death on 31st January, 2023 occurred in Port Harcourt. Given the shocking revelations following his death about his being a homosexual and the overwhelming evidence of his bizarre thoroughgoing feminization to the point that a deceitful and false "sacramental" marriage was even foreseen, and as an interim measure in the Archdiocese, to ensure that such embarrassing situation is met in anticipation with zero tolerance and given absolute zero possibility of ever occurring again, I hereby give following instructions to be observed in the interim pending future deliberations and reviews by the music commission:

1. The practice of using young adult male falsettists as permanent sopranos and altos *is hereby suspended indefinitely for all choirs of the Archdiocese.* All adult males must either sing bass, baritone, tenor or counter-tenor (unless a clearance for otherwise singing the usually female parts is obtained - and this - on case to case basis, from the music commission). Singers who insist that they must be in the midst of ladies to sing should be charitably advised to leave the choir, since, after all, membership in the choir is not compulsory for every Catholic and no one can force his or her membership on the whole choir. *This measure of dismissal would be especially very necessary if in the prudent judgement of the executives, the male singer opts for female parts, as a way of advancing a hidden gay or self-feminization agenda.*

2. Singers who are well known to belong to formal or informal gay clubs are henceforth *forbidden* to belong to any Catholic choir, choral group or even music academy in the Archdiocese, unless it is clear they have renounced such groups and the attendant culture. *A chorister is a liturgical minister and as such must be above scandal.*

3. Male choristers who exhibit clear but undue feminine behaviors ( *e.g. wearing earrings, permed hairs, undeniably feminine bleaching* ) as well as female choristers who preponderantly and inordinately portray themselves as male gender (e.g. *by absolute refusal to wear gown or skirt uniforms, even in performance context)* are henceforth to be charitably advised to leave the choir if they insist on their inordinate gender theatrics. Such persons are in no way to be allowed to function as executive members.

4. In excluding singers who are practicing homosexuals/lesbians, it is the grave responsibility of the choir exco, to firmly prevent the access of such excluded persons to kid-members of the choir (that is, those that are minors). There should be ABSOLUTE ZERO interaction between them and children members of the choir.

Note that the following provisions are for immediate application and admits of no exceptions. While the music commission will continue to pray about and look into the possible situation of infiltration of Onitsha Archdiocesan choirs by gay and lesbian microgroups, we take the above guidelines as interim measures.

An attempt to link Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma, Commissioner for Works to fraudulent activities is not only callous but despicable...

By Okoli Sunday

It is common knowledge and several events have proven that when you fight corruption anywhere in the world, corruption fights back with great intensity. This especially applies to Nigeria where the same people who prefer the old order of not doing the right thing disguise as saints and cry to the highest heavens whenever there is an attempt to bring changes in the way of doing things.

And so, it was not surprising when a poorly written article surfaced titled, “Ifeanyi Okoma: the fraudulent Anambra Commissioner for Works in Soludo's Cabinet" written by one amateur blackmailer appeared in different social media platforms.

In as much as the statements of characters like the amateur mole/blackmailer should not pose any threat to the personality of Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma, a perfect gentleman, with an unblemished and meritorious private practice service, it is pertinent to put the record straight for the benefit of millions of unsuspecting public who may stumble on the libelous story.

One does not need to read beyond the second paragraph to know where the writer was heading, but there is no need to join issues with him as he is only exercising his right to express himself as guaranteed in the Constitution.

However, it is pertinent to correct the lies that are embedded in his article in order not to mislead the public.

The dirty blackmailer tried to weave an intricate web of connection between the amiable Governor of Anambra State, Prof. CC Soludo, his in-law, Engr. Emeka Ezenwanne and the Commissioner, Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma but he failed woefully as he could not pinpoint or establish any claims.

The blackmailer or whoever that sponsored him alleged that Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma designed roads by himself using RB Consults as a proxy. This is a lie fabricated from the pit of hell. RB Consults is a reputable consulting firms with an identifiable address and has handled consultancy jobs for decades. The blackmailer was only trying to destroy the career of the Commissioner who is a thorough bred professional in the field of engineering and has practiced with a tract record of excellence over the years.

The mole/blackmailer alleged that so many contracts awarded could not take off because of poor design. This is another distorted fact, it is verifiable that most projects awarded and flagged off by the Governor is ongoing at a full speed including the roads in Okpoko, Awka roads, Amansea-Ebenebe-Awba Ofemili road, Storm Water Control Works at Old Enugu-Onitsha Road, Ogbunike, etc. All with 20 years guarantee. A visit to the sites will convince you.

The mole/blackmailer also alleged that the Commissioner strike deals with new Contractors with an understanding to part away with kickbacks. I want to state that this blatant and baseless accusation is unfortunate and uncalled for. This hatchet job was done to tarnish the unblemish image of Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma. A man with a track record of credibility and astute dedications to duties.

On the allegation that Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma uses his labourers in his firm to usurp the responsibilities of the Ministry of Works Engineers and write off huge amount of money as their payment. I would like to clarify by emphasising that there is no such claims to qualify such blatant accusation/lies. This is only but a deliberate falsehood.

Without mincing words, it is obvious that the dirty writer was hired on a desperate mission to impugn on the image and credibility of Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma.


Besides his futile attempt to establish a case against the Commissioner, the unashamed blackmailer equally alleged that JIL Engineering Services, a firm that handled the International Conference Center(ICC), Awka did a shoddy jobs with many structural failures. It is verifiable that the architectural masterpiece of the Conference Center is equal to none. Since, it's inception, the ICC has hosted local and international events like the "International Fashion Expo 22", "National Innovation Workshop" by Nigerian Senate Committee on Science and Technology. etc. The ICC is there for everyone to see, there was nothing wrong with its design or the structure.

In another spurious claim, the writer alleged that the Ministry of Works in connivance with Bureau of Public Procurement part with atleast 1m in cash to have their contracts documented, this again, is another falsehood. How the writer came up with such claim is absolutely as unfathomable as it is ludicrous. Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma is a man who has worked hard and diligently over the years to build a name and cannot stoop so low to soil his hand over a pot of poridge. This claim is just but absolutely a fabrication by a man that has no conscience.

I wish to conclude by reminding the blackmailer and indeed his pay masters that Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma will stop at nothing to reform the Ministry of Works to make it a standard in line with Gov. Soludo's vision of building a livable and prosperous smart mega city through the construction of quality roads and road infrastructures that will stand the test of time. He will stop at nothing to always demand that the right thing be done. Therefore, the general public are hereby called upon to disregard the allegation of fraudulent activities leveld against the Commissioner as that only exists in the imagination of the person making such claims.

Works Commissioner Charges Contractors to Work According to World Best Practices
The Commissioner for Works, Anambra State, Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma has charged Contractors handling various road projects in the State to work according to world best practices.

Engr. Okoma gave the charge in a meeting with the Contractors and Management Staff of the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure held at the Ministry of Works Conference Hall, Awka.

In his opening remarks at the meeting, Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma stated that the vision of Gov. Soludo's administration is to create a livable and prosperous homeland for Ndi Anambra and so, road infrastructure is one of the key to achieving the vision. In his words, "The State Government is in high spirit to deliver quality road projects and give succor to the people of the state". He reminded them that government is tackling the issue of security and pleaded with them to help government succeed in that aspect because Contractors can only work in a secured environment.

However, Mr Commissioner noted with dismay the high rate of road failures across the State. He said that roads that are not up to three years have started failing and so, that cannot justify over N200Billion that was paid to various Contractors handling various road projects for the State in the last 8 years.

He remarked that some of the contractors have not shown enough commitment, ingenuity, and strict adherence to professional engineering ethos in handling the projects given to them. He said from now henceforth, it will not be business as usual and that the government of Prof. Charles Soludo is poised to bring road infrastructure at par with what is obtainable in modern societies across the world.

The Works and Infrastructure Commissioner said that he is aware that most of them are being owned but government will verify every debt, prioritize debt and pay the ones it can within the available resources at its disposal.

Earlier in his opening remarks, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Dr. Laz Okafor welcomed the Contractors to the meeting, explaining that the meeting was convened so that the Commissioner will hear directly from the Contractors to know the issues, challenges, and way forward concerning various ongoing projects in the state. He encouraged the contractors to be open and ready to interact with the Commissioner for the best interest of the people of the state.

Responding on behalf of the Contractors, Engr. Philip Eyisi of Philippe Construction Ltd expressed appreciation to the Commissioner for convening the meeting in order to interact with them. He pledged that they will return to their respective project sites with renewed zeal to deliver on their jobs as directed by the Commissioner. He promised that they will deliver quality road projects that can stand the test of time, appealing to other partners to maintain job integrity, noting that there is always a sense of joy and fulfilment in doing what is right and pleaded with the government to always fund work done.

The meeting featured interactive session, which gave the contractors opportunity to rub minds with the Commissioner and his team, on ways to fulfill their respective roles in delivering on their mandates.

*YOUR TOMORROW MUST BE GREATER THAN TODAY: DO YOU BELIEVE SO?
*
*Let us pray:*
Beloved, God is faithful. He has brought us to another day of His divine encounter with us. To Him be the glory, Amen.
However, there may be questions all around you, there may be unresolved issues all around you, there may be hurdles to climb on your path, there may be issues that are big enough to confuse and distress you, but God says, look up! Look up to heaven where God is, look up above your distractions, look up above depressions, disgrace, discouragement, rejection, conspiracy and all that.
No matter what you see or face in this life presently, just look up.
When you keep looking at things around you, all you will see is bad news, disappointments, disgrace, displeasure, sickness and even deaths but when you look up, your story will change.
This morning, therefore, I encourage you to keep looking up, no matter what you face, your TOMORROW must be greater than TODAY(Psalms 121) through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, Amen���

Good morning,
have a blessed day and stay safe��

Anambra Works Commissioner Locks Out Staff For Lateness

By Okoli Sunday


Anambra State Works Commissioner, Engr. Marcel Ifejiofor has locked out Staff of the Ministry who resumed late to work on Friday.

The action according to the Commissioner, is a way of instilling discipline on the State’s work force, and make them know that it is no longer business as usuals. He wonder why the staff of the Ministry will not come early to work in order to reciprocate the government who has given adequate concern to their welfare.

“The action is just to instill discipline, Governor Willie Obiano has done a lot to make the work force happy and he feels that, what they owe the administration in return is to be at their duty post when they should be at their duty post to reciprocate the gesture".

Engr. Marcel said that no Staff will be spared in the punishment irrespective of position. He said that the list of the defaulting staff will be forwarded to the office of the Head of Service, and the Ministry will issue query as a measure too.

“Status does not matter, what matters is, doing the right thing at the right time, the Commissioner concluded”.

On her part the Acting Deputy Director Administration, Mrs. Emenike Stacia, said she saw no reason why the staff would not be punctual to work as the service gave a grace period of 30 minutes after 8.am o'clock. She decried the attitude of some of the workers who she described as perennial late comers. She begged them to have a change of attitude.

Mrs. Stacia said appropriate punishment measures will be given to late comers. According to her, taking such measures would no doubt serve as deterrent to other staff as truancy and late coming will no longer be tolerated.

This is the second time, the Commissioner is ordering that, the gates be locked out to staff who do not come early to work.

Too bad for Africa

Okwute nothing will do u

This is Ogboji -Ndiokolo-Ndiokplaeke road in Anambra State which is under Construction. The contractor has abandoned the road and erosion is threatening to cut the road into pieces. With the next rainy season, those part of the state will be totally cut off from the rest of the world. Somebody should get the attention of Gov. Willie Obiano to the horrible condition of this road.

Anambra Speaker Impeached, Cheleku, Agbogidi and Uche Okafor suspended.... Hausa abata go Awka!

The Speaker Anambra State House of Assembly Hon. Rita Maduagwu has been impeached by 22 members of the House following allegations of gross misconduct, financial improprieties, docility and gross incompetence in handling the affairs of the legislature in the last 3 years.

NewsProbe gathered that the impeachment was allegedly signed by 20 members out of the 22 members present during the plenary.

Uzoezie while addressing journalists shortly after the plenary, said that the new leadership of the House will reposition the legislature for greater efficiency and better achievements, pointing out that the former speaker made the legislature a shawdow of its own especially as he further accused the impeached speaker of embezzling funds meant for House services.
