Newly appointed Imo State
commissioner of happiness, Mrs. Ogechi Ololo (nee Okorocha) has defended her
new job against criticisms.
Mrs Nkeccki Ololo in an interview
with BBC Africa challenged Nigerians condemning Gov. Okorocha , saying the
ministry was created to cater for welfare of Imo residents.
According to her, the post will
pay school fess of Imo citizens who cannot afford it, amongst other benefits.
She said “Happiness can mean
anything to anybody; for some people, happiness means having food on their
table, some it’s about schools, some about the roads, some it’s about security
“Here in Imo we have free
education, this policy makes people happy by paying for children’s school fees.
So that is the policy of happiness and that is part of the ministry of
happiness.”
When asked why Okorocha appointed
his sister, she added “Okorocha did not create the ministry because I am his
sister.
“There are so many people out
there that need help, that need our service.
“Happiness can be defined based
on individuals reactions.
“This is Imo life and I believe
that Imo people are very happy about it.
“It is a new ministry and people
don’t understand, so they have the right to ask questions but with time they
will definitely understand meaning of commissioner of happiness.”
