Okorocha clarifies misconception on Ministry of Happiness

Imo State Government has said that one of its ministry’s was wrongly named the Ministry of Happiness and Couple’s

Attributing the error to be a typographic error on the part of the printers  the government said the ministry is actually the Ministry of Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment.

Naija News recalls that Okorocha swore in 28 commissioners including his sister Ogechi Ololo, who was inaugurated as the Commissioner for Happiness and

Governor Rochas Okorocha Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Sam Onwuemeodo said it is now called Ministry of Happiness and Purpose Fulfilment.

“There was a typographic error in the first statement issued on the swearing in of the new commissioners. The word “Couple” was inadvertently written, instead of the word

“Purpose, we regret that. The real essence of life is to be happy and to fulfil one’s purpose in life; Government officials are elected to address this.

“Happiness and Purpose Fulfilment Ministry therefore, is established for the lost time to correct the policy framework to guide ministries and departments on what they must do to guarantee the citizens’ happiness and contribute better to the society.

“This is the very reason people elect their leaders: to guarantee their happiness and purpose fulfilment. A great leader therefore, is one who provides happiness to the people.

“Unfortunately, this vital element of our social lives has not been properly addressed. Governments at different levels have created several ministries and departments to achieve this, yet people are bitter, angry with hate speeches which lead to crisis, war and even terrorism.

“The choice of Mrs Ogechi Ololo, a Masters Degree Holder in computer Science, USA who has been the Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor on Domestic Matters and Food Security can be described as a round peg in a round hole. Before her appointment as the supervisory commissioner, she was charged with the responsibility of liaising with the Federal Government on N-Power Project, CBN Anchor project and BOI, Empowerment Projects.”

The governor has also set up other similar Ministries which include the Ministry of Non Formal sector and Market development to tackle issues of the poor state of Imo Markets and organize the non-formal sector to enhance their productivity.

The Ministry of education was also divided into three ministries, Primary and secondary, Tertiary non-Formal Education, ICT, Science and Technology.
