"I want to appreciate the governor of Enugu State, Dr Peter Mbah, Uzo-Uwani delegates and the whole stakeholders for making a day like this possible. It wouldn't have been possible if not for God who used His Excellency to establish this platform.
"I am a youth and I know the pains our young ones are passing through. The long time neglect of our youth in the position of authority and the administration of the council is gone and gone forever. We are not going to forget our elderly ones, they will still be part of the system and be playing advisory roles but it's time for the youth. It's time to go into talent discovery, channelling the energy in our youth into productivity, turning our forests into farmlands and farm settlements.
"I equally want to assure you that in line with Governor Peter Mbah’s Administration to make Enugu a premier destination for tourism and investment, we will tackle the issue of insecurity in our council. Uzo-Uwani will be too hot for kidnappers, miscreants and other forms of criminal elements to operate. It is already a red flag zone for them already," Ezugwu said.

Today, you the sons of Uzo-Uwani in Enugu have dimmed it fit to welcome him and we are not in doubt that your prayers and wishes are with our party", he maintained.
