According to Dr. Maxwell Ngene, Enugu State recently made history in democratic governance with an unprecedented Town Hall Meeting, underscoring Governor Dr. Mbah's commitment to transparency and accountability by welcoming journalists and citizens from all walks of life. The event which provided a unique platform for direct interaction with the Governor, symbolized a shift towards open dialogue and citizen engagement.
This commendable initiative not only allowed for an appraisal of the Governor's performance but also facilitated discussions on pending projects, policies, and future endeavors. Gov. Peter Mbah's willingness to embrace public scrutiny and address concerns head-on, as commended by Dr. Maxwell Ngene, reflects a promising step towards inclusive governance and a brighter future for Enugu State.
Dr. Marxwell's Commendation Statement read...
*RE: TOWN HALL MEETING*
"I want to commend the Governor and Government of Enugu State for throwing its door wide-open to journalists and people from all walks of life last week for a Town Hall Meeting, a type never seen before in the history of democratic governance in our dear state. This is very commendable and portrays the Governor as one who truly believes in honesty, transparency and accountability"
"A town hall meeting is a rare platform for the citizens to directly access the Governor in a face to face manner and not only appraise his performance in office so far but to voice concerns over the quality of work done, policies, and planned programmes of action. It is rare to see a Governor willing and desirous of engaging its citizens in an honest and open manner like we saw in Dr Mbah. He has confronted headlong the task of completing some abandoned projects likely to become money-spinners"
Truly our tomorrow is here!
