Sir Dennis Ugwu: An Administrator Par Excellence

By Augustine Aminu

A true administrator is known by certain qualities he manifests, and displays passion for what he believes in. He instills diligence and confidence in the people he leads, exudes courage and vision in the system where he operates. He sets goals and ensures that they are achieved in record time.

These administrative and leadership attributes describe Sir Dennis Ugwu, the immediate past Worthy Grand Knight of Central District Sub-Council. He stands out in the crowd because he has consistently proven his mettle as a man who has set a pace in the society.

It is an incontrovertible fact that the nation’s private and public service had suffered setbacks due to retrogressive bureaucracy, ineffectiveness, corruption and quite often, sheer incompetence and naivety.

However, there are few people in the system who are gradually changing the tides through diligence, professionalism, accountability, due process and patriotism and making concerted efforts at making sure that the Nigerian system operates at par with the global best practice.

Sir Dennis Ugwu whose thorough handling of administrative matter remains unparalleled, is always focused in service delivery. This has led to his excellent handling of businesses and achievement of needed results in various responsibilities he has undertaken in both private and public service.

Just recently, he was celebrated by his friends and well-wishers as he retires from active service, his 60th birthday, 28 years of marriage anniversary and the launch of a memoir in his honour at the Daughters of Divine Love, Retreat and Conference Center, Emene, Enugu State.

He has empowered many youths through job creation and training. Sir. Dennis Ugwu is indeed a patriotic citizen, a detribalized leader par excellence who deserves a national honour for his contribution to the development of the Nigerian economy.
