The Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO) has hailed President
Muhammadu Buhari for appointing Dr. George Moghalu as managing
Director/CEO of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA).
Chairman of Anambra State chapter Vincent Ezekwueme, in a
statement yesterday, described the appointment as the best
independence gift to the Southeast.
He said the people would remain grateful to the President for
‘his patriotic reintegration processes’.
The statement reads: “This is a welcome development and cheering
news to the people of the Southeast and Nigerians. This is the best
Independence gift to the Southeast. The President has provided the
opportunity towards resuscitation of the moribund Onitsha
seaport.”
Ezekwueme urged Moghalu to live up to the expectation of the
President and Nigerians by being selfless in the discharge of his
assignments.
“Moghalu as a moralist, selfless, patriotic, humble, honest and
servant leader must bear the interest and social wellbeing of the
citizens at heart by rehabilitating the decrepit and deplorable
Onitsha seaport to boost economic activities in the Southeast, as
well as give them a sense of belonging,” he added.
He appealed to the President to extend similar appointments to
the family of former Senate President, Chuba Okadigbo, who was his
political ally and running mate in 2003.
