Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s President, has approved the appointment of Dr. George Moghalu as the managing Director/CEO of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA).
YaahooJournalist reports that the President’s move was praised by the Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO).
Vincent Ezekwueme, the Chairman of the Anambra State chapter of the CLO, who conveyed the delight and appreciation of the people over the appointment in a statement yesterday, described the appointment as the best independence gift to the Southeast.
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.”
Moghalu was called upon by the CLO to live up to the expectation of the President and Nigerians by being committed to 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,” the statement added.
