Governors Emmanuel Uduaghan and Peter Obi of Delta and Anambra states respectively have been honoured by the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, for their resourcefulness and management style.
Uduaghan was awarded the ‘Most Dynamic and Constructive Governor’ by the Enugu Diocese of the church at the All Saints Anglican Cathedral, Enugu.
Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi got the award of a ‘Very Good Financial Planner and Manager’ from the church.
The awards were given during the thanksgiving service to mark the commencement of the 15th Synod of the Diocese.
Presenting the award, Bishop Emmanuel Chukwuma of the Enugu Anglican Diocese said the church was appreciative of the developmental efforts of the Uduaghan administration.
The clergyman hailed Obi for his prudent management of the lean resources of Anambra State.
In his remarks, Governor Uduaghan said the award which was most unexpected would spur the entire team of Delta State Government to do more in the development of the state.
Attesting to the philanthropic profile of Bishop Chukwuma, the governor promised to contribute to the growth of the Anglican Diocese of Enugu even as he expressed sincere gratitude for the honour done him.
In a sermon at the synod on ‘Christian Contentment’, Bishop Israel Amao of New Bussa Diocese of the Anglican Communion, urged the church not to take God for granted in any way.
The clergyman insisted that development of Christian Contentment stemmed from appreciating God as the source of man’s blessing and generosity.
He tasked political leaders particularly those in government, to beware of dream-killers who would stop at nothing in truncating their developmental efforts.
