According to Nigerian existing laws, Anambra State House of Assembly refused to confirm him Commissioner at the age of 28 years when his name was first submitted.

On June, 2015 he was appointed the Special Adviser to the Governor on Economic Planning and budget. He has just been made a Commissioner with same portfolio.

He is also Nicholas Okoye’s cousin.

Meanwhile Senator Ben Murray-Bruce said the President and all Governors need to go to Anambra to study the secret for effectively running a government, pay staff without owing arrears and boost their local economy.

According to him;

The President and all Governors need to go to Anambra to study the secret for effectively running a government, pay staff without owing arrears and boost their local economy! This is why I advocate for True Federalism. It will bring about the type of competition that will lead to more states becoming like Anambra.

Anambra is not an oil producing state yet it does not take loans or owe workers salary. It has made the best improvements in education in the whole nation and the state government even supports private schools financially. Look at those states that thrive in our false federalism by depending solely on federal allocation. They are broke, cannot pay salaries and are so debt ridden, banks will not lend to them any more. Anambra proves that True Federalism can work in Nigeria.
