Asaba,
Your Excellency Sir,
RESIGNATION OF APPOINTMENT AS SENIOR SPECIAL ASSISTANT ON CIVIL SOCIETY AND YOUTH MOBILIZATION.
I write to formally tender my resignation as Senior Special Assistant on Civil Society and Youth Mobilization from today, 25th April, 2025.
This decision comes after a considerable reflection and a deep sense of disappointment regarding the ongoing issues of insecurity in our communities, which I have continuously brought to your attention.
Despite numerous messages, calls , blueprint documents aimed at addressing these pressing concerns, have all been thrown out, I have come to the unfortunate realization that meaningful solutions are not being accepted by your administration.
As a civil rights leader, I accepted this appointment as a commitment to serve and protect our community.
However, the continuous escalation of insecurity and the persistent lack of action to provide effective resolutions have rendered me unable to fulfil my duties with the integrity and effectiveness that I believe are essential.
My commitment to the safety and well-being of our communities remains unwavering, but my agitations is that these crucial issues on insecurity ought to be prioritized. It is my hope that my resignation will drive the urgent need for action and inspire a renewed focus on the safety of our citizens.
I am grateful for the opportunities I was bestowed during my time and for the relationship I have built with my colleagues and community members and the state at large.
I genuinely hope for a future where we can work together to create a safer and more secure Delta state for all.
Thank you for your understanding. I wish the government all the best in its future endeavours and will continue to serve my community in my private capacity.
Sincerely,
Harrison Gwamnishu
SSA Civil Society and Youth Mobilization
While expressing gratitude for the opportunity to serve, he made it clear that he would continue advocating for his community outside government, hoping his resignation would signal the urgency of the matter and drive serious policy action.
