Chief Obiano’s performance within one year since his election
under the banner of APGA party has been widely commended and earned him the
award of “Nigeria’s Governor of the Year” 2014 from the international
multimedia networks and public policy organization, USAfrica. He will share
insights to governance, security and investments at the forum. Significantly,
he is returning almost a year to the same day and month and the same multimedia
platform where he first spoke — in a very formal setting with such guests as
U.S Congressman Al Green — following his election.
A statement issued from Houston by the Founder &
Publisher of USAfrica
and the first African-owned, U.S.-based professional
newspaper published on the internet, USAfricaonline.com, Dr. Chido Nwangwu,
articulated why Obiano bagged the prestigious recognition, noting that “in less
than ten months of taking over the mantle of leadership of Anambra State, the
banker turned politician has, with purposeful zeal attracted investments and
with the courageous heart of a bull, confronted the criminals and miscreants
who had unleashed mayhem and gripped the peace loving people of the state in
the throes of trepidation, fear and death…. Obiano is proving to the people of
Anambra and Nigerians, at home and in the Diaspora, that here cometh a man of
proven technocratic competence out to put Anambra State on its rightful place
on the map of economic development of Nigeria.”
He adds that “In the course of the USAfrica Governance Index
assessment across the State and other parts of the country, we reached the
conclusion that Gov. Obiano has not only done very well in impacting various
sectors of Anambra but he has shown that a truly transformative leadership is
possible within a relatively short period and utilizing very modest resources
to push the great and sometimes boisterous Anambra State to its better heights
and security. I believe security is everything! Akpokuedike Obiano challenged
and has, so far, subdued most of the bandits and their infrastructure with his
battle coinage ‘Operation kpochapu’ and deployment of crime fighting assets.”
USAfrica — with almost 23 years of professional journalism
and multimedia publishing business from its headquarters in Houston, Texas —
has been acclaimed by the CNN, The New York Times, international scholars and
public policy leaders as the largest and arguably the most influential
African-owned, U.S-based multimedia networks.
Obiano, a banker, is on the cover of the latest edition of
USAfrica magazine as shown above.
