Unveiling Delta’s super Permanent Secretary, Eddy Ogidi-Gbegbaje

Among the civil servants in Delta State, Sir Edwin Egwonomu Ogidi-Gbegbaje, Permanent Secretary, Directorate of Government House and Protocol, comes top. This is because he strictly adheres to details and handles his duties with dedication and utmost calmness.

 

A major attribute synonymous with this Delta-born among others, is his hardworking nature that has culminated in his success story. He understands that humility is not a peculiar habit of self-effacement but rather, an insipid trait; as such, not a few are awestruck by the level of humility Gbegbaje exhibits.

 

It is also an incontrovertible fact to say Eddy Gbegbaje is a man who does not dance to the rhythm of mass hysteria.

 

Although, he has carved a niche for himself, yet, not many know that Gbegbaje has a voracious love for philanthropy. He does this with a passion, so enthralled with philanthropy that he surreptitiously gave scholarship to students and also empowered the less privileged.

 

He’s equally reputed for his dedication to Godly and social activities. On account of his humility, tact, sophistication and godly traits, he hobnobs with the power that be, in Delta State.
