The saying that ‘the youth are the leaders of tomorrow’ is gradually awakening in Nigeria as the Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano has began the move.
30 - year old Harvard trained financial expert, Mark Okoye Jr, son of former FCT Minister, Chief Mark Okoye and ex-director of First Bank Plc, Chief Mrs Christy Okoye was few hours ago sworn in as the Commissioner for Economic Planning, Budget and Development Partners by Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State.
Until last week when his appointment as the commissioner for Economic Planning, Budget and Development Partners was confirmed by the State Assembly. He was the Special Adviser on Economic Planning and Budget to the Governor.
According to the Governor during the official swearing in of Okoye Jr at the state Executive Council (Exco) meeting held yesterday, June 20th at the Government House Awka, Okoye Jr has been a key member of his Economic Team, having played very strategic role in the development of the State's Economic Blueprint, adding that he has remained consistent in delivering on all tasks assigned to him.
Governor Obiano tasked the new Commissioner to bring his wealth of professional know-how and experience in financial management to bear in his new office to ensure that the state remains progressive in its economic policies.
Okoye Jr who thanked Governor for the opportunity to serve the State, assured the governor in his speech that he will give his best in moving the state forward.
He said his appointment is consistent with the statement made by the Governor that abundant potentials abound with the Nigerian Youth.
