You know those ‘printers devils’, who has never encountered them?
And apparently, they know no boundaries and even governors are not immune to their effect.
If you doubt us ask the Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha who blames the printer for the mistake in the naming of the newly created “Ministry Of Happiness” to which he appointed his sister the commissioner.
The state’s chief secretary to the governor, Mr Sam Onwuemeodo revealed this via a statement according to Punch. Apparently, the correct nomenclature is the Ministry of Happiness and Purpose and not Ministry of Happiness and Couple Fulfilment.
The statement also clarified the justification for the new ministry, ostensibly to augment the efforts of other government ministries and efforts because let’s face it, “people are bitter, angry, with hate speeches, which led to crisis, war, and even terrorism.”
The statement threw also some light on the choice of Okorocha’s sister, Mrs. Ogechi Ololo, as the supervisory commissioner in charge of the ministry. She’s a “master’s degree holder in computer science from the USA” and has considerable experience in her brother’s administration.
Meanwhile, the chief press secretay hasn’t been the only one who has attempted to explaint what the ministry was set up to achieve. The lady named to man the position, Ogechi Ololo had earlier granted an interview to the BBC Africa to explain her job description, which says includes polices geared towards people’s people and thus make them happy.
Read the statement
“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 fulfillment.
“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 led to crisis, war, and even terrorism”
“The choice of Mrs. Ogechi Ololo, a Master’s degree holder in computer science from the 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.
“Governor Rochas Okorocha has also created other similar ministries such as the Ministry of Non-Formal Sector and Market development to address issues of poor state of Imo markets and organize the non-formal sector to make them more productive.
“The Ministry of Education was also split into three: Primary and secondary, tertiary non-formal education, ICT, science, and technology.
