The Governor of Enugu State has come under fire for failing to honor a promise made to Prof. P.N. Okeke through the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) on the occasion of the professor’s 83rd birthday.
In a tweet, Alex Onyia revealed that Prof. Okeke had expressed disappointment over the unfulfilled promise, having sent two reminders that were allegedly ignored. “I feel sad about this!” Onyia remarked, shedding light on the apparent neglect.
The post has sparked mixed reactions online. While some criticized the state government for its perceived insensitivity, others accused Onyia of timing the post to fuel controversy amidst other trending issues, such as the debate surrounding Nike Lake Resort’s lease.
This incident raises questions about the state government’s commitment to honoring its promises, particularly to respected figures like Prof. Okeke, who have contributed significantly to the state.
