'It is Ministry of Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment and not Couples' Fulfillment' Imo state government clarifies

The Chief Press Secretary to the Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, Sam Onwuemeodo, says contrary to public opinion, the new Ministry the state government created is the Ministry of Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment and not the Ministry of Happiness and Couples fulfilment. In a statement released, Onwuemeodo says there was a typographical error during the swearing in ceremony as the printer erroneously replaced Purpose with Couple.
“There was a typographic error in the first statement issued on the swearing in of the new commissioners. The word “Couple” was inadvertently written, instead of the word “Purpose,” we regret that'
Onwuemeodo in the statement stated the essence of the new Ministry and its purpose in the state.
“The real essence of life is to be happy and to fulfil one’s purpose in life; Government officials are elected to address this. Happiness and Purpose Fulfilment Ministry therefore, is established for the lost time to correct the policy framework to guide ministries and departments on what they must do to guarantee the citizens’ happiness and contribute better to the society. This is the very reason people elect their leaders: to guarantee their happiness and purpose fulfilment. A great leader therefore, is one who provides happiness to the people. Unfortunately, this vital element of our social lives has not been properly addressed. Governments at different levels have created several ministries and departments to achieve this, yet people are bitter, angry with hate speeches which lead to crisis, war and even terrorism'
On the choice of Ogechi Ololo, the sister to the governor of the state, Rochas Okorocha, as the pioneer commissioner of the Ministry, Onwuemeodo said
“The choice of Mrs Ogechi Ololo, a Masters Degree Holder in computer Science, USA who has been the Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor on Domestic Matters and Food Security can be described as a round peg in a round hole. Before her appointment as the supervisory commissioner, she was charged with the responsibility of liaising with the Federal Government on N-Power Project, CBN Anchor project and BOI, Empowerment Project
