On behalf of the leadership and all members of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Ebonyi State Chapter, I warmly extend our heartfelt goodwill and profound congratulations to His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Builder Prince Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru (Onwa), Governor of Ebonyi State, on the joyous occasion of his 51st birthday.
Your Excellency, your life and leadership journey continue to inspire pride and admiration among the youths of Ebonyi State. From your distinguished service in the legislative arm of government to your emergence as Governor, you have consistently demonstrated courage, humility, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to purposeful and people-oriented governance.
Your administration has made a remarkable and unprecedented impact on the lives of our people, particularly the youths who form the heartbeat of our state. Through deliberate empowerment programmes, structured human capital development initiatives, and inclusive policy implementation, young people across Ebonyi have become direct beneficiaries of your visionary leadership.
We particularly commend your historic scholarship initiative, which has sponsored over one thousand bright and promising Ebonyians to pursue postgraduate studies both locally and in reputable international universities at Master’s and Doctoral levels. This strategic investment in education and capacity building represents a generational intervention that will shape the future of our state for decades to come.
Your robust infrastructure drive especially the construction of durable concrete rural roads linking communities has opened new economic corridors, enhanced agricultural productivity, improved market accessibility, and strengthened rural-urban integration.
Your reforms in the health sector, civil service system, and housing schemes have further repositioned governance structures for greater efficiency, accountability, and service delivery.
Your commitment to providing potable water to communities across every nook and cranny of the state reflects a leadership style anchored on dignity, equity, and social welfare. In the area of sports development, your administration has rekindled hope among young talents by investing in platforms that identify, nurture, and showcase their abilities for national and global competitiveness.
As you mark 51 years of impactful living, we celebrate not only your birthday but also a legacy of service, reform-driven governance, and transformational leadership that continues to redefine the development trajectory of Ebonyi State.
May Almighty God grant you renewed strength, sound health, greater wisdom, and expanded capacity to consolidate the gains of development and deepen prosperity for all Ebonyians.
Happy 51st Birthday, Your Excellency.
Signed:
*Comrade Douglas Ochishi*
Chairman, National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN)
