A Public Affairs Analyst, Dr Innocent Unah, has lauded Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State for endearing a viable economic blueprint geared towards advancing the state socio- economic development.

Unah made this assertion in an interview on Tuesday, March 30, in Abakaliki, while fielding questions with newsmen.

He noted that Nwifuru has demonstrated a perceptive grasp of the state’s socio-political economy with his dexterous handling of state affairs.

Unah restated that the governor has shown restraint in handling socio-political events in the state, especially on security issues.

The Public Affairs analyst extolled Nwifuru’s neutrality, particularly his intervention in restoring calm to warring areas of the state.

He maintained that the state helmsman has stabilised the positive security situation in the state by implementing the 2003 boundary gazette drafted during the previous administration.

“This gazette apparently offers a neutral demarcation based on historical claims and surveys”

He noted that the disrupted education for children and psychological trauma for families in conflict areas have taken a huge toll on the affected persons.

Onah opined that Nwifuru could establish a rehabilitation fund to compensate victims in conflicting areas such as Amasiri and Okporojo communities of Afikpo and Edda local government areas of the state.

“This will enable the people to air their grievances, promote dialogue on the economy, among others.”

Unah hailed the State Chief Executive for his decisive actions and wisdom, which have earned him public trust.

He reiterated that Ebonyi State has earned the reputation of being the most peaceful state in the south-east geo-political zone of the country.
