The Anambra State Government has congratulated Mr. Francis Akubueze on his appointment as the new Clerk of the House of Representatives.
A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr C. Don Adinuba, disclosed that Governor Willie Obiano has written a congratulatory letter to Mr Akabueze, an indigene of Alor, in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The governor observed that the new clerk was appointed purely on merit, therefore, he would certainly excell just like the government and people of Anambra State have done in various areas.
The governor pointed out that as the anchor of the engine-room of the House of Representatives, the newly-appointed Clerk of the House is charged with the ennobling role of overseeing the effective working of the inner structure of the legislature which is the pivotal key of any democracy.
According to Adinuba, Mr Akubueze’s new leadership role brings to mind the outstanding performance of national legislators from Anambra State like the first Senate President Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe; the second Senate President, Dr Nwafor Orizu; former Senate President Chuba Okadigbo, and former Speakers of the House of Representatives, Chief Edwin Ume-Ezeoke and Chief Agunwa Anaekwe.
Anambra State Government further noted that the clerk has a rich tradition of legislative excellence which should inspire him to excel more and more.
According to the Commissioner, the Governor commended the National Assembly Service Commission for recognizing Akubueze as a star civil servant.
