    Uzodimma Tasks Imo LG Chairmen, Others on Grassroots Development

    The Progressive Institute recently organised a retreat for Chairmen, Councillors and other principal officers of the 27 local government councils in Imo state on the need to bring effective governance to the teeming populace at the grassroots.

     A three-day retreat on Public Sector Governance for principal officers of the 27 Local Government councils in Imo State organised by The Progressive Institute ((TPI) has taken place in Owerri, the state capital.

    The retreat with the theme: Enhancing Local Government Governance for Sustainable Development was declared opened by the Governor of Imo State and Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum, Senator Hope Uzodimma at the the Sam Mbakwe Hall in Owerri while participants were presented with certificates at the end of the three-day retreat.

    Declaring the programme open, Governor Uzodimma, in a release issued by TPI’s Head of Media and Strategic Communications, Wale Abedden, told the teeming participants to be good ambassadors of APC in their respective local governments and wards.

    He warned the local government officials against indiscipline, corruption, compliance with law and order and dedication to service, noting that his administration will not condone “diaspora local government officials”. 

    He also charged the participants to live and relate with the community they represent.

    “As a local government officials, you’re expected to live within your communities. You must be able to relate well with your community leaders, traditional rulers, youth and ordinary citizens in your community to determine what their needs are and act on them accordingly. All chairmen must live within his or her local government and the councilors must reside within their wards. This is a must hence I have tasked security agencies to monitor you”, Governor Uzodimma stated as he hailed The Progressive Institute for the quality of the training.

    On his part, Director General of The Progressive Institute, Dr Lanre Adebayo, thanked Governor Uzodimma for a fulfilled promise he made at the inauguration of TPI in September, 2024.

    His words: “I would like to express my profound gratitude and admiration to the Governor of Imo State, for your visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to the development of Imo State”.

    According to him, “The retreat is a collaborative effort between The Progressive Institute and the Ministry for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs in Imo State, and we are honored to have such a distinguished group of guests to grace this occasion.

    “Today, we have a total of 575 participants, comprising key officials from 27 local government areas of Imo State, including Chairmen, Vice Chairmen, LG Secretaries, Treasurers, Directors of Personnel Management, Councillors, and Supervisory Councillors”.

    Participants at the training were educated on eight critical areas of Public Procurement: Best practices and strategies for effective procurement in local governments, Public Financial Management: Principles and practices of financial management in local governments, Public Service Rules: Understanding the rules and regulations governing the public service in Nigeria.

    Other areas of discourse included: Public Policy Process and Communication: Effective policy-making and communication strategies for local government officials, Public Sector Ethics and Anti-Corruption Legislation: Promoting integrity and transparency in local government administration, Law Making Process at Local Government Level: Understanding the legislative process and roles of local government officials.

    Other themes were Revenue Generation Strategies at Local Government Level: Innovative approaches to revenue generation and mobilization; Monitoring and Evaluation of Projects at Local Government Level: Best practices for project monitoring and evaluation.

    The three-day continuous training engaged the public officials in thought-provoking discussions, insightful presentations, and interactive sessions aimed at enhancing their understanding of Public Sector Governance in line with progressive ideology.

    Eno, Soludo: The Style Defines the Leader

    Eno, Soludo: The Style Defines the Leader

    Etim Etim reflects on the way Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State and his Anambra State counterpart, Charles Soludo have been relating with their predecessors including other citizens in the art of governance in their respective states.

    Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State sent a simple birthday message to Obong Umana Okon Umana the other day to celebrate his 66th birthday. But the main essence of the letter was not written in words; it is located somewhere in the recent history and experience of the people – Akwa Ibom people.

    Just a decade ago, Umana was humiliated, hunted and hounded for political reasons by the then governor. But today, he is being celebrated as ‘’an illustrious son’’ who has served the state ‘’passionately’’. Leadership style can make the difference. Umana had served in the public service of Akwa Ibom for about 25 years, rising through the ranks to become Permanent Secretary; Commissioner for Finance and peaking as SSG (Secretary to the State Government). He was later appointed Minister of Niger Delta Affairs in the Buhari administration.

    In 2013, he was once locked out of office, hounded, hunted and harassed for seeking to contest the 2015 governorship race. In 2014, the DG of his campaign Organization, Chief Sunny Udom, escaped assassination by the whiskers when armed men stormed his office. He was lucky to have left minutes before they arrived, perhaps on tip off.

    Soon after, Umana’s security details were withdrawn, triggering fears that he was the next target. His offence was moving from the PDP to APC to seek the governorship ticket – a decision that went against the then-governor’s succession plan.

    Political assassinations, kidnappings and intimidations were the main ingredients of the state’s politics in those days. There was palpable tension and fear around Umana, who was then spending most of his time in Lagos and Abuja, to escape the threats, tension and fear in Uyo. His supporters were downcast, browbeaten and broken, but he managed to put up a brave face whenever he came into Uyo, just to give them hope. It was the most frightening season in the history of the state and may we not experience such again in Akwa Ibom State.

    When I saw Governor Eno’s letter to Umana, I reflected on the past and pondered on the change that is unfolding in our state. Once notorious for political violence, the state is now one of the most peaceful in the country. Eno came into office with a deliberate and well calibrated agenda to redraw the contours of politics and take it in another direction. He quickly reached out to other leaders like Atuekong Don Etiebet, Obong Nsima Ekere, Senator Ita Enang and a few others who were once considered enemies of the state. Political foes are now friends; ethnic tensions and cleavages have dissipated; political disagreements and rhetoric are far less combustible and, vey importantly, politically motivated violence has disappeared.

    A leader’s performance in office is greatly influenced by his character; personality and style. Character consists of integrity, ethics and accountability; personality has a lot to do with emotional intelligence, communication style and adaptability, while style implies leadership approach; decision–making and his vision and strategy. The interplay between character, personality and style greatly impacts the leader’s relationships with citizens and other stakeholders.

    Eno came into office with a self-awareness to do away with allegiance to one bloc or a tendency to pitch one group against another.  He determined right from the onset to do away with the tradition of manipulating the people to gain political advantage or to pursue an ethnic agenda.

    Even as he moved from PDP to APC, he refused to intimidate, frustrate or subjugate his former party. He has adopted the phrase ‘’Akwa Ibom United’’ as his political slogan and has succeeded in instilling the spirit of oneness in a people once described as ‘’an atomistic society perpetually at war with itself’’.

    In Anambra State, Governor Charles Soludo has taken to the tradition of publicly attacking, ridiculing and demonizing Peter Obi, one of his predecessors, perhaps for political reasons. Soludo can’t seem to live with Obi’s presence and influence in national politics. In Kaduna, the toxic relationship between Governor Uba Sanni and his predecessor, Nasir el Rufai, is creating division and tensions in the state, which is well known for its political volatility.

    El Rufai pursued politics of exclusion and ethnic dichotomy, while Sani is trying to bring the multiethnic society together. His style is inclusive, collaborative and peace-building, while his predecessor was more engrossed in promoting Fulani dominance.

    In the United States, differences in character, personality and styles of their presidents and local leaders have over the years deepened political differences which in turn have bred a tradition of political violence.

    President Donald Trump’s style is assertive and unconventional. His approach emphasizes strength, negotiation prowess and nationalist policies, while Joe Biden, for example, is more cooperative and conciliatory. 

    Across the globe, leaders in government and business, community and organizations, approach their duties with different styles that reflect their character and personalities. At the end, the style defines the leader.
