The Governor reiterated his administration’ s assurances in delivering dividends of democracy to the populace and solicited for their support and cooperation in his patriotic efforts.
Uzodimma called for peace and brotherly love, stresding that the time has come to bury all differences and work collectively to develop the state. Remember, this is the only state we can truly call our own. Therefore, we should all think of how we can contribute to her growth instead of leaving it to the government alone.

Our simple civic obligations like paying taxes, observing traffic rules, and keeping our environment clean can go a long way towards helping the government succeed.
“Equally, I urge all those with the wherewithal, to think of establishing industries, especially in the rural areas, to help create jobs for the youths. On our part as government, we will continue to provide the enabling environment and assistance to encourage all well-meaning investors.
“The task is to make Imo State the industrial hub of the South East, Nigeria, and West Africa. It is one that our generation must accomplish, to the glory of God ” he assured.
