The Managing Director, National Inland Waterways Authority , Dr George Moghalu and nine others have emerged winners of BusinessDay Excellence in Public Service Award 2021.
The NIWA boss speaking shortly to newsmen before the event noted that, “when you are recognised by people who are watching you unconsciously and all of a sudden they write to inform you they have been following your activities and they want to recognise you, naturally the reaction is to feel happy, that is the truth, I feel happy about it.”
Another awardee, the Executive Director, Rural Electrification Agency, Dr. Sanusi Ohiare, told newsmen that his agency would re-double its effort towards providing access and scaling up interventions to reach all rural Nigerians. “And this award would allow us re-double our efforts towards providing access and scaling up our interventions to reach all rural Nigerians. So I dedicate this award to those rural people that we are yet to reach and we are assuring them that in no distant time we would reach them.”
Like you all know, the reward for hardiwork is more work. So I feel recharged, this is like a challenge for us to do more because there is a lot to be done, there is a lot that has been done but like I said, we have to intensify and double up efforts because those numbers have to shrink and we have to intervene for this people.”
