Another member of the delegation, Mr. Uche Igwe, commended the focal point of OGP implementation in the State and Executive Chairman of the Commission, Alhaji Magaji Muhuyi Rimingado for his courage, tenacity and professionalism.
Igwe said, “I am impressed with the level of work your Commission is doing. The story of your courage and how you have fearlessly chased corruption into the most difficult places, is public knowledge.
“Please keep it up. I am confident that if you extend that level of commitment to OGP implementation then one will expect results in improved service delivery in the state.”
