The Enugu State Government yesterday denied the publication in an online media outfit, Nairaland.com which alleged that Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and his entourage were in Dublin, Ireland for a Gala Night Party.
 
Reacting to the said publication, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media, Mr. Louis Amoke through a statement made available to The Guardian said that there was no iota of truth in the story and called on the public to disregard it as it was meant to mislead and undermine the genuine intention of the governor regarding the trip. 

He stated that contrary to the erroneous impression created by the publication, the governor and his team were in Dublin for an aggressive investment drive, in keeping with his campaign promises to navigate the state through the current economic crunch and exploit other avenues of revenue generation for development.

Amoke revealed that the visit was fruitful, adding that the State Government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Authorities of Dublin City University on how to promote and develop Education in the state as one of the focal points of the government’s development initiatives. 

He also stated that remarkable success was recorded in shoopping for investors and donor agencies that would key freely into the new phase of development in Enugu State, assuring that the results of the fruitful discussions will be felt by the people of the state in no distant time.
