In his very first appointment of those who would work with him in his second term in office, Governor Hope Uzodimma reappointed his dependable and efficient Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser, Oguwike Nwachuku, to the same position.
Oguwike’s reappointment by the Governor is seen by not a few people as an endorsement of loyalty and competence by the Governor.
He was reappointed by the Governor on the same day he dissolved the expanded Imo State Executive Council Members, a couple of days before two other appointments by the Governor followed.
Nwachuku studied at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, for his first degree and the University of Lagos, UNILAG, for his second degree.
The ever calm Nwachuku, also, holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Journalism.
In his professional career, he had been the Editor of different National Newspapers for more than 20 years before Uzodimma invited him home in 2020 to work with him.
A well-travelled Reporter, Nwachuku is very competent in information gathering, copy editing and management.
He displayed professional competence in dealing with the Governor’s image- making despite the challenges faced in the first four years of his administration.
