Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN has felicitated with former Anambra State governor and minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige on his 70th birthday.
Ngige on Monday turned 70. He was a three-year-governor in Anambra State, before he was sacked by the court and replaced with Mr Peter Obi.
Ngige was also a Senator, and represented Anambra Central Senatorial zone, after he defeated late Prof Dora Akunyili in 2011.
An elder statesman, Ngige has since gone ahead to become the minister of Labour and Employment, and has served for two terms now, under President Muhammadu Buhari. He is known to be a trusted aide of Buhari, and one of the closest.
In a press release by Richard Olatunde,
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Ondo State, Ngige was described in beautiful adjectives by Akeredolu.
Below is the press release…
