The governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, has stated that his administration will support a local from Amagunze in the Nkanu East Local Government Area who created the battery-powered cooking stoves that are currently trending on social media.
The governor was quoted as saying in a statement released on Sunday in Enugu by his Senior Special Assistant, Mr. Louis Amoke: “The state government has noted with delight the exploits of one of its own.
“Enugu State government is proud of the inventor for his outstanding craftsmanship which is in line with my administration’s commitment to encouraging and harnessing science and technology-driven innovations.’’
The statement says Gov. Ugwuanyi will within the week meet with the Enugu-born inventor to seek ways government can provide maximum support to him.
According to the statement, the meeting is to ensure that his potential is fully harnessed for his benefit and that of the general public. (NAN)
