Rochas Okorocha, Governor of Imo State, has said the agitation currently ongoing in the South East and other parts of the country can only come to an end when people are happy.

Okorocha said this while advising the Nigerian Air Force to create a Department of Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment.

Speaking over the weekend in Owerri, the state capital, the governor said the creation of such Department would help address the need of junior officers.

According to Okorocha, “Agitation comes up when people are not happy, and the whole essence of life is to be happy. For this reason, I will advice that the Air Force too, just like I did recently, which most people didn’t understand, should create a department for Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment.

“This will help to address the need of even junior officers, who may have some forms of dissatisfaction in the discharge of their duties.

“Sometimes, you may think they are happy when they are not, and this sabotages the efforts of the Federal Government.

“Mentorship is another aspect which can help people achieve their purpose in life. If people are happy, there will be less agitation.

“The amount of money we spend on aircrafts and in the purchase of arms would have reduced by 50 per cent. This could also end issues of restructuring, Niger Delta and all other forms of agitations.”
