Iwuala.<\/p>\n<p>While appreciating the governor, Sir Igwe described the appointment as a recognition for hard work and competence. Part of the message reads thus:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I congratulate you on your most deserved appointment as Senior \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Special Assistant (Media) to the Abia State Governor. This shows \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 how deeply appreciated and widely recognised your efforts have \u00a0 been. I am proud of your sagacity and NUJ will continue to give you \u00a0\u00a0 every \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 support to succeed. We also commend Governor Ikepazu for this \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 show of special magnanimity to an Imo son\u2026 \u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Barr Iwuala, a postgraduate degree holder in journalism and law, was the Chairman Freedom of Information Desk of NUJ Imo State Council and had served as media aide to two deputy governors in Imo State. During the 2015 gubernatorial contest in Imo State, Sir Iwuala was also Director Media and Publicity to the campaign outfit of the governorship candidate for the All Progressives Grand Alliance Captain Emmanuel Ihenacho.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting, Barr Iwuala thanked the governor for finding him worthy to serve his government. He also commended the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on General Duties Chief Junior Erondu for recommending him to the governor. He however, promised to bring his experience to bear in his service to the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) Imo State Council has commended Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-xtra"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>GROUP COMMENDS ABIA STATE GOV.
