'It Is Ministry of Happiness And Purpose Fulfillment And Not Couples' Fulfillment' - Imo State Government Clarifies
The Chief Press Secretary to the Imo state governor, Rochas
Okorocha, Sam Onwuemeodo, says contrary to public opinion,
the new Ministry the state government created is the
Ministry of Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment and not the
Ministry of Happiness and Couples fulfilment. In a statement
released, Onwuemeodo says there was a typographical error
during the swearing in ceremony as the printer erroneously
replaced Purpose with Couple.
“There was a typographic error in the first statement
issued on the swearing in of the new commissioners. The word
“Couple” was inadvertently written, instead of the word
“Purpose,” we regret that'
Onwuemeodo in the statement stated the essence of the new
Ministry and its purpose in the state.
“The real essence of life is to be happy and to fulfil
one’s purpose in life; Government officials are elected to
address this. Happiness and Purpose Fulfilment Ministry
therefore, is established for the lost time to correct the
policy framework to guide ministries and departments on what
they must do to guarantee the citizens’ happiness and
contribute better to the society. This is the very reason
people elect their leaders: to guarantee their happiness and
purpose fulfilment. A great leader therefore, is one who
provides happiness to the people. Unfortunately, this vital
element of our social lives has not been properly addressed.
Governments at different levels have created several
ministries and departments to achieve this, yet people are
bitter, angry with hate speeches which lead to crisis, war
and even terrorism'
On the choice of Ogechi Ololo, the sister to the governor of
the state, Rochas Okorocha, as the pioneer commissioner of
the Ministry, Onwuemeodo said
“The choice of Mrs Ogechi Ololo, a Masters Degree Holder
in computer Science, USA who has been the Deputy Chief of
Staff to the Governor on Domestic Matters and Food Security
can be described as a round peg in a round hole. Before her
appointment as the supervisory commissioner, she was charged
with the responsibility of liaising with the Federal
Government on N-Power Project, CBN Anchor project and BOI,
Empowerment Projects.”
