Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State has said 2025 will be marked by unprecedented development, growth and massive transformation of all parts of the State.
Nwifuru made the declaration in a New Year message to his people on Tuesday in Abakaliki and issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Monday Uzor.
The governor said he would prioritise policies and programmes that would promote inclusive development and foster economic opportunities for the benefit of the people.
“I have declared this new year as one that will be marked by unprecedented development, growth and massive transformation of all parts of the state.
“As we step into the New Year, I extend my warmest greetings to every citizen and resident of our great state.
“This is a time of reflection and renewal, an opportunity to chart a new course for personal growth and collective progress in line with the People’s Charter of Needs Agenda.
“In 2024, we, through your support, prayers and encouragements, annexed new grounds and deliberately took a quantum leap in all spheres of governance,” he said.
The governor noted that his administration had placed over 25, 000 of the citizens on sound economic pedestal for accelerated growth and prosperity.
“Though the year 2024 brought challenges, it also showcased the resilience, unity, and innovation of our people.
“We have made significant strides in improving infrastructure, healthcare, education, and security last year.
“This year marks a new dawn for the state’s political history and landscape and will bring to full actualisation, the letters and spirit of my manifesto,” the Governor pledged.
