JIM OVIA, GODWIN EMEFIELE TOLD TO SPREAD OUT



Two great sons of Delta State Mr. Godwin Emefiele and Mr. Jim Ovia the one governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the other Managing Director of Zenith Bank have been advised to spread their humanitarian gesture.  The call is coming from the leader of the Edo Vanguard for Employment.  Addressing a crowd of reporters at the departure lounge of the Benin Airport, Mr. Geoffrey Abu while praising the two Agbor born greats drew their attention to what he called the missing link.  “These two sons have been employing indigenes from Delta State into lucrative position in government, giving them scholarship as well from  secondary to University levels and even donating to the needy and homeless”, Mr. Geoffrey observed. 

“But, there are other people as well from Edo State who should also benefit from their large heart.  “Today in Zenith and Central Bank of Nigeria, you could count no less than one hundred staff from that area”, he stated.  Mr. Geoffrey expressed readiness to propagate this kind gesture to the world and called on other prominent sons and daughters in vantage government positions to live up to expectation.  “If everybody does the same thing; if we all see the need to help, in no time, unemployment would vanish”. Mr. Godwin Emefiele and Jim Ovia are both from Agbor-obi in Delta State. Specifically, Mr. Jim Ovia is from Obi Olihe in Ika South Local Government area in Agbor.
