Enugu youths hail Ugwuanyi for involvement in governance
The youth also applauded the governor for his
administration’s youth-friendly policies and programmes in the state which have
brought the young ones together to chart a new course for their future.

Ugwuanyi, who received a loud ovation from the participating#youth during his
arrival at the event, has helped them to get involved in governance.
Nnamani, who is passionate about good governance, with wealth
of political wisdom, explained that “the Power Shift we are talking about is
not just power shift to the people; we are also advocating that people should
get involved to see that governments at all levels succeed.”
He pointed out that when people are involved in politics,
their actions and inactions would go a long way in shaping the future of

we can get involved in security; we can get involved in human development; we
can become active participants in politics. That is what this conversation,
Power Shift, is all about.
