The Governor of Anambra State Willie Obiano is proving albeit lushly to all that governance is about having a vision and ready to engage those who can help at crystallizing the vision brightly and expeditiously.
In Anambra state, Obiano has added value to governance without playing the charade or dancing to the gallery bearing in mind that fundamental structures and apparatuses of development must be firmly planted for a state to enjoy sustainable growth and development of potentialities both in human and material.
Going by the stride of Obiano in Anambra, it showcases a man who deeply understood the essence of leadership, governance, and administration of the people for productivity and profitability.
Thus, his style of leadership has reflected positively on the people in Anambra state whose society has witnessed tremendous improvement and development.
Governor Obiano is able to exhibit stupendous achievements in his first term in office due to his background as an accomplished banker , consummate player in the corporate world ,having a chord to a high net worth circle of solid investors and merchants , being well exposed , avid reader of biography and his penchant for seeking and fetching the best hand for the job to be done
Check the list of his new cabinet, special advisers and assistants, they are men and women of enviable and impressive credentials who have solidly showcased brilliance at the various post in and outside the country
The testimony to this is the appointment of Dr. Sally Mbanefo, a former Director-General, Nigeria Tourism Development, NTDC, as Anambra State Commissioner for Culture and Tourism.
This appointment is not only apt but also appropriately correct, for Sally though a banker, lawyer, and artist by training is an administrator and organizer par excellence who always add value to any post of responsibility bestowed on her
Her appointment as the tourism and culture commissioner by Governor Obiano is also a testament to his desire to jump starts the tourism potentialities in the state particularly domestic tourism.
Sally Mbanefo is an apostle of domestic tourism and the first Director-General of Nigeria Tourism Development Corporation, NTDC, who visited 26 states of the country within a spate of 3 years spreading the gospel of domestic tourism.
A highly detribalized Nigerian, Sally Mbanefo is a thoroughbred detribalized Nigeria who always exhibits the agrarian passion and uncommon enthusiastic when it comes to the development of culture and tourism as a potent tool of empowerment, employment, economic emancipation and revenue generation
She also has the magic wand of instigating productive engagement and positive alignment between the public and private sectors as partners in developing tourism
Anambra State will reap bountifully from the experience of this lady who was made the Moremi of Ife by the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi, and Ojaja 11 who was impressed by her zeal at promoting the values and culture of Nigeria
Sally is no doubt an asset when it comes to the nurturing, nourishing, tendering, enhancement, growth, promotion and marketing of tourism potentialities.
Governor Obiano has definitely done Anambra tourism sector a fantastic gesture by appointing a responsible lady who possesses awesomely fecund ideas of how to mobilize the tourism sector for economic development, rural transformation, wealth mobilizing and revenue generation
The appointment of Sally Mbanefo as Anambra State Tourism and Culture Commissioner is an iconic appointment of trans-generation value.
Kudos to Governor Willie Obiano.
