ENUGU — The Monks of Our Lady of Mount Calvary Monastery, Awhum, in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State have promised Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of their continued prayers for the success of his administration, the progress of the state and the country in general.

In a remark during a thanksgiving mass at the Monastery in honour of the newly sworn in Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mr. James Ikeyi, Rev. Fr. Paul, on behalf of the Monks, expressed delight at the leadership style of Governor Ugwuanyi, which he said centres on good governance and fear of God.

They applauded the governor for his commitment and interest in the progress of the monastery and equally used the occasion to congratulate him on his election in 2015, describing him as “the man of the people.”

The monks noted that Gov. Ugwuanyi’s visit to celebrate the first mass of the year was symbolic and a clear indication of  his closeness to God and the interest he has in the monastery.
