The Eacgov in a goodwill message to Ukah, and made available to newsmen in Asaba said the new SSG is a team player who does his job with an open mind and very proactive in making official decisions.

Oghenesivbe, who is a member of the International Communication Association, mica, further asserted that the new SSG is a man of high dignity, integrity, very effective, a workaholic, a detribalised Deltan and a trusted public servant who have dedicated his time and talent in working with the governor in multifaceted ways in the past six years.
“I heartily congratulate the newly appointed SSG, Chief Patrick Ukah. He is truly a man of integrity and a reliable political associate of our amiable governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa.
“His excellent track records as Commissioner for Information, and Commissioner for Basic Education, attests to his genuine passion for service to the state and people.
“Ukah’s appointment is a round peg in a round hole, and Deltans will be the beneficiaries of his unique style of teamwork and time-bound service delivery.
“The new SSG will bring to bear his wealth of experience to build on the enviable performance of his predecessor, Barr Chiedu Ebie.
“It is my prayers that God, grant him good health, and divine wisdom to function in his new office,” Oghenesivbe said.
