The newly appointed Board Chairman of the Enugu State Housing Development Corporation (ESHDC), Chief Sir Nwabueze Nnamani (Ikeoha), has officially resumed office in the early hours of Monday, December 22, 2025, pledging a new era of discipline, productivity and service delivery in the corporation.

Chief Nnamani was accorded a warm reception by the Managing Director of ESHDC, Dr. Gerald Asogwa, as well as management and staff of the corporation, who were present in large numbers to welcome him.

Addressing the workforce shortly after his assumption of office, Chief Nnamani charged the management and staff to brace up and imbibe a positive attitude to work, stressing that indiscipline and laxity would not be tolerated under his leadership. He noted that as a retired Deputy Comptroller of the Nigeria Customs Service, and former Executive Chairman of Nkanu West LGA, he is committed to enforcing professionalism, accountability and efficiency in the corporation.

The ESHDC Board Chairman stated that his appointment was targeted at addressing critical issues affecting the corporation and repositioning it for greater productivity. He further assured that all pending court cases involving the corporation would be critically reviewed and resolved in line with due process, to ensure stability and progress.

In a related development, Chief Nnamani, on assumption of office, was honoured with a Pillar of Humanity Award by the Dorcas Sustainable Global Initiative. The award was presented to him by the Convener of the initiative, Hon. Mrs Adaora Aneke, in recognition of his selfless service to humanity and contributions to community development.

Receiving the award, Chief Nnamani expressed gratitude and pledged to intensify his commitment to touching the lives of the less privileged in society, noting that public service should always translate into tangible impact on the people.

The Board Chairman was later taken on a facility tour of the corporation by the Managing Director and other top management staff, after which a board meeting was held to deliberate on key operational issues.

AnchorNews reports that the resumption of Chief Sir Nwabueze Nnamani has generated renewed optimism among staff of ESHDC, who have expressed readiness to support his vision for a more efficient and responsive housing development corporation in Enugu State.
