Mayor Ikeji Keeps to Promise; Rewards Diligent Council Staff
Hon. High-Chief Victor Ikeji (Kpakpando-Umuahia) has kept to his inaugural speech of rewarding diligence and hard work as the council boss.
In keeping to that promise, Mayor Ikeji, on Tuesday 12th March 2024, rewarded Mrs. Odokara Precious Ogechi, popularly known as “Mama-P” for her diligence and dedication to duty.
The Mayor said he received the news of her excellent dedication to service from the Council management and in line with the vision of His Excellency, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, to reward selfless service, the council offered to give her a befitting reward and recognition.
He commended her for her compassionate and selfless service in ensuring the well-being of her fellow staff, Mr. Chidiebere Ukoha, who has been seriously ill.
” Your type is rare. You are also one in a million. I encourage you to keep up the great work and never be discouraged by the circumstances surrounding you, ” stated the Mayor.
Mrs. Odokara, while receiving her commendation letter and cash reward from the Mayor, appreciated him for recognizing and rewarding hard work.
According to her, what she did was born out of her care for humanity, and she didn’t do it in expectation of any reward.
She said many Mayors/Chairman have come and gone in the local government, but none has ever extended such a gesture to any staff.
She thanked him and the entire council management for the recognition while promising to do more if the need ariseso.
