The Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has clarified his earlier statement about the Orashi river project in the Oguta council area of the state, saying
Gov Uzoddimma said the project was about dredging the Orashi river to the Atlantic ocean.
He was reacting to a media report that the presidency was unaware of the construction of a seaport in Imo. “The governor could not have talked of a seaport in Imo State when there is no sea in the state, adding that what the governor was emphasising was having access to the sea through the dredging of existing waterways.
“It is regrettable that the opposition and some biased maritime reporters had stoked the fire of controversy to take the shine off the huge vision behind the project.
