Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Dr Law Mefor has commended members of the state House of Assembly for their support and encouragement to the Solution Government despite being a multi-party House.
Making the commendation when he
received the Anambra State House of Assembly Committee on Information, led by
the Committee Chairman, Hon Fred Ezenwa, representing Onitsha South
Constituency, who paid an oversight visit to the ministry, Mefor observed that there is maximum
cooperation between the executive and legislature, adding that the Solution
Government doesn't take the legislature for granted.
Giving an overview of the
ministry's operations and plans for the forthcoming Anambra State Gubernatorial
Election, the commissioner explained that the Information Ministry is doing a
lot in media and other public enlightenment engagements to get people to
understand what the government is doing and why it is doing so, among other
things.
"We are aware that a
government may be doing so much without people being aware, and they may be
aware and will not know why the government is doing that which it is
doing," he said.
He assured that the ministry is
willing to collaborate with the House Members and will use all available means
to reach Ndị Anambra in various communities, adding that the provision of
enough funds and adequate working materials will enhance their performance in
revenue generation and efficient discharge of their duties.
In his remarks, the Committee
Chairman, Hon. Ezenwa, explained that the visit was not to witch-hunt anybody
but to perform their oversight duties to know the ministry's operations and
proffer possible solutions.
In their separate remarks, Hon.
Emma Nwafor, representing Orumba South, and Hon. Tony Muobike, representing
Aguata 2 Constituency, stressed the need for collaboration between the
committee and the ministry to reach the grassroots, even as they advised the
ministry to write to the Governor specifying the tools required for effective
discharge of their duties.
Other members of the committee are Hon Nonso Atuchukwu -Nnewi South 1, Hon Obi Nweke - Anambra East, Hon Ejike Okechukwu - Anaocha 2, Hon Bernard Udemezue - Ayamelum, Hon Golden Iloh - Ihiala 2 and Hon Paul Obi - Orumba North.
