HON. BARR. FIDEL EBI
EGORO
When Hon. Fidel Ebi Egoro was elected State
Deputy Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2012, the
un-compromising epitome of integrity and humility thought he had a rendezvous
with his destiny and stock of achievements at the Golden age of fifty years.
Perhaps the indicators of persons across the State
and Country of late are beginning to outline earlier plan to serve God fulltime
and provide direction and mentorship to the youths.
Born on November 30th 1958 to the native community
of Ujama, Ntrigom, South Ukelle in Yala Local
Government Area. Fidel trained at the famous University of Ife
where he graduated in Law with Honors in 1984, proceeded to the Nigerian Law
school and enrolled as Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria
in 1985.
He also holds a Masters degree in Business
Administration, MBA.
He is highly detribalized and is of varied
experiences becoming a commissioner in his State of Cross River at thirty-one
years.
In 1985 he began what would later come to be a
distinguished Professional legal practice in the Lagos area, having served with the
Directorate of Army Legal Services DALS and Nkem Sweet and Co.
Barrister Egoro had between 1990 through 1992
served as Commissioner of Special Duties, Water Resources and Rural Development
as well as that of works, Housing and Transport.
A dependable party man and consummate politician,
Fidel had served his party the PDP at various capacities, for instance, in 2006
alone he was twice nominated as member Sokoto State Electoral Committee for
election of both chapter and State Executive Council of PDP, as well as
appointed Secretary PDP Imo State Electoral panel for all the primaries
Delegates to Governorship.
The man whose love for service knows no bounds,
Barrister Egoro had been Board Chairman of CROSPIL between 2002 to 2007, he was
elected twice as Assistant Legal Adviser PDP at the same period. He later
served his Local Government area as chairman in 2007 through 2010. Fidel Egoro
has served and led several Committees and Projects from inception to stardom;
for instance, he has served at different times as chairman, Treasurer and
Secretary General of the State Commercial Agricultural Development Association
as well as Chairman claims and Conflict Resolution, chairman committee for
chairmen and councilors amongst others.
A Community man who has made indelible
contributions to rural development especially in areas of Education, Healthcare
and Water supply; Fidel is also a Hands-on Entrepreneur with investors and
passion for Agro-industrialization and still presides over the Ujama
Development Association till date. His impressive record of service,
philanthropy and great humility as well as an effortless disposition to
achieving predetermined results sets further challenges and attendant
expectations by various sectors of the public.
Egoro’s pathological drive to his society based on
the principle of transparency, accountability, equity and fair play as well as
the fear of God is sacrosanct.
That relentless spirit of self sacrifice
unfathomable desire to input into society so much that he has gotten, has
earned him high mark on the service assessment chart. Fidel believes, economic
planning and the aggressive pursuit of development as a conscious and deliberate
process since 1999, has driven the implementation of well-articulated
strategies, objectives and initiatives which took center stage, that the
commitment to robust strategic planning and painstaking implementation is the
raison d’être for the transformation evident in virtually all sectors of the
State’s economy.
He upholds the massive progress recorded in the
various spheres of the state economy viz development of agriculture, capacity
enhancement Tourism development and infrastructure for water supply,
Healthcare, Education, Transportation and Sanitation as well as Communication.
However, he insist it is still work in-progress as
the State is not there yet, as the great vision for the State transcend the
eight tears of Senator Liyel Imoke’s government. Egoro is an ardent protagonist
of governor Imoke’s leadership style and his SEEDS 1 and 11 as well as the
state vision 20:20:20 all of which he has unreservedly adopted for varied
reasons.
He says the agenda of his administration if ever
offered the opportunity will keep faith with the said vision to be refocused.
