Gov Uzodinma presents 18 months scorecard before Imo Assembly

The Imo State governor, Hope Uzodinma, has presented his eighteen-month stewardship of his second term in office before the State House of Assembly, highlighting some of his achievements so far.

Addressing the state lawmakers on the floor of the House, the governor gave an account of his stewardship, asserting that his administration has built a new Imo the citizens should be proud of.

Giving an account of his first year in office to the eighteen months of his second tenure, Uzodinma expressed satisfaction that he has placed Imo on what he described as an irreversible path of sustainable development.

He described his administration as people-oriented and anchored on transparency and accountability.

Uzodinma explained that he chose to present the address to brief the members of the House and the public on the progress his government has made since assuming office, particularly in the second term.

In a speech that lasted several hours, the governor highlighted his achievements, from education to health, digital economy, and road infrastructure, emphasising that his programmes and policies are the results of careful planning.

He noted that although he met a state under the spell of institutional decay and infrastructural deficits, he set to work determined to ensure that the people were offered quality and accountable governance.

Uzodinma also disclosed that his focus on workers’ welfare, including the prompt payment of salaries and pensions and the recent clearance of the pension backlog, was aimed at ensuring that the economy of the state remains people-friendly.

He expressed satisfaction that the administration’s road revolution, the revamping of the health and education sectors, and the recent successes recorded in the digital economy and technology have positively impacted the citizens of the state.
