“When the light shines steadily, it is only fitting that the lamp be placed higher for all to see. So it is with leadership, where excellence begets continuity and faithful stewardship attracts greater responsibility,” Mr Ukwueze said in his congratulatory message to Mr Udeh on Thursday, 6 November.

“It is on this note that I, on behalf of the government and the good people of Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area, convey my heartfelt congratulations to my friend, Dr Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh, SAN, on his deserved swearing-in today as the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology by President Bola Tinubu.”

The chairman said Mr Udeh’s appointment is not only a personal achievement but also a clear recognition of excellence, intellect and capacity.

“A fine legal mind and a thoroughbred technocrat, he has consistently distinguished himself in every public office he has held. From his impactful service as Special Adviser to the former Governor on Education, through his transformative leadership as Commissioner for Rural Development, Enugu State, and later as Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice of Enugu State, Dr Udeh championed far-reaching reforms that transformed rural development, strengthened the justice system and enhanced access to justice for all,” he said.

Mr Ukwueze thanked President Tinubu for the appointment, saying that it reflects his administration’s commitment to merit and competence.
