A Chieftain of All Progressives Congress(APC) in the South-South, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has described the Vanguard award received by the Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, as a well-deserved award.
Amaechi received the 2019 Public Sector Icon of the Year at the Vanguard Personality of the Year Awards 2019 & 2020 Combined Event, on July 17, 2021.
In a statement made available to media Houses, the party chief said, “Amaechi has shown patriotic zeal and a great deal of sincere commitment to the implementation of policies and programs of the Buhari -led government especially in infrastructural development, to wit rail, ports revival, which are recording massive economic yields for the country”.
“The choice of the Minister and the subsequent award investiture on him was a conscious recognition and reinforcement of the phenomenal zeal, rare selflessness and unique commitment employed by him in the discharge of the tasking concerns of his office”.
‘If banal felicitations are rolled back, there abound very honest reasons to clink glasses over the impressive results the Minister has continued to churn out since he assumed office, and honouring him as Public Sector Icon of the Year is part of Vanguard’s own way of expressing approval and showing gratitude to the giant strides he is making in the Transportation sector where he holds sway as Minister”, he stated.
Eze commended Vanguard for conducting an unbiased and proper assessment of the records and achievements of public servants in ministries and agencies before nominating them into various award categories, notwithstanding the fact that Amaechi’s feats are public knowledge and speak louder.
He further commended the Vanguard team for keeping an eagle eye on public servants, rating their performances and rewarding excellence were due, stressing that such transparent initiative spurs one to dream more, do more, and achieve more.
While calling on Nigerians to continue to support President Mohammadu Buhari, in his administration’s drive to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty, Eze commended the huge efforts of the Transportation Minister in championing the job creation drive of the administration by providing jobs for Nigerians.
He said not less than 100,000 countrymen have so far been engaged directly and indirectly in different specialties in the rail and ports sub-sectors with more to be engaged soon.
He joined millions of well-meaning Nigerians to Congratulate Rt. Hon. Amaechi and encouraged him to remain focused on the task of rebuilding public confidence in government.
