The National Association of Ivo Students Union have honoured the hard working, dynamic Council Chairman of Ivo Local Government Area, of Ebonyi State, Hon Chief Ajah Emmanuel Ogbonna, for all his contributions in bringing dividends of democracy to the people of Ivo.

Speaking through their leader Comrade Ibeabuchi Success, former President of Ivo Union and Hon. Ngele Solomon Special Adviser, Students Affairs, IVO, noted that the “Award of Excellence” is their little way of telling Chief Ajah Emmanuel Ogbonna that he is doing well and should keep up the great work of touching lives, developing Ivo and placing the LGA on World Map.

He called on the Chairman to please carry the students along in all his plans while pledging loyalty and support to his administration. Adding that “We the National Association of Ivo Students are ready to support, volunteer and work with you in any capacity you deep fit. We appreciate your approach to duty and you are an encouragement to all of us”.

He called on God and their ancestors to continue to protect the Ivo LGA Council Chairman who he said “hit the ground running upon his election and have brought fresh air to the LGA”.

While accepting the Award, the Ivo LGA Boss, Chief Ajah Emmanuel Ogbonna, stated that “I’m humbled by your kind words and the fact that you acknowledge that I’m working. This will spur me to do more. I assure you all that I will work with you and ensure that our policy are youth and people oriented.”

Hon Ogbonna concluded by declaring “Upon our being elected we swore an oath to serve the people and render dividends of democracy and this I shall continue to do until my last day on Office. I implore you the youth to work with me and be law abiding to make our LGA number one in the country.

He stated that it’s worthy to Note that the Council had in the past produced Nigeria’s former Senate President, Distinguished Senator Anyim Pius Anyim and so having put us on both National and global map I can’t afford to caught napping on duty. “If possible I would work 36 hours a day to fix everything that needs fixing in Ivo LGA”.
