From Princely Onyenwe
The Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma has beckoned on the people of Imo state to support his second term re-election bid while assuring his focus on the industrialization of the State by engaging more private bodies and investors through Public Private Partnership (PPP) while consolidating on the infrastructural development of the State and sustenance of the peace and tranquillity we have restored.
The Governor made this declaration Thursday while attending to critical issues bordering the people of the state on a one-on- One talk on television.
Uzodinma stated that Imo State is a work in progress and do not be deceived. “It is not possible that within a four-year tenure, the State can be emancipated from the level of decay it was submerged into prior to my assumption of office, considering the various interjections my administration encountered.
This was an expository I shared with Seun Okinbaloye during my appearance on Channels Television’s “Politics Today” aired last night. I am delighted to have honoured Seun’s request to appear on the program, as I was afforded the opportunity to put in proper perspective, the unifying politics that played out during the election of the 10th National Assembly leadership.
In response to Seun’s questions when he delved into the deliverables of my administration for the past three and half years to the State, I held back some emotions which usually gush out due to the deplorable state our infrastructures, economy
and governance were left in before my emergence.
For the past three and half years, my administration has embarked on tangible and intangible projects in salvaging the State from the deplorable condition it was.
The reconstruction of major economic roads in the State have given a facelift to commercial activities across the State thereby giving rise not just to State IGR but also, to personal income of ndi Imo and residents.
The reduction in travel time from Owerri to Orlu and Owerri to Okigwe has led to a reduction in transportation cost along these routes and we aim to achieve the same after the reconstruction of Owerri-Mbaise-Obowo-Umuahia road.
Our road revolution is not limited to Federal roads as we have restored the State capital to its glory while rebuilding many other rural roads.
Our Industrial Policy Framework which is in partnership with the United Nations Industrial Development Organizations (UNIDO) was formulated to consolidate Government’s efforts in the industrialization of the State. The private sector is armed with great potentials for economic growth and we are leveraging on this to grow our GDP.
As I seek re-election for a second term, my focus shall be on the industrialization of the State by engaging more private bodies and investors through Public Private Partnership (PPP) while consolidating on the infrastructural development of the State and sustenance of the peace and tranquillity we have restored.
Thanks to the enabling environment which we have provided for businesses and governance, while we anticipate a thriving economy through these partnerships, the support of “ndi Imo nile” and residents is highly sought after for the success of my projections.
