Uzodinma: no more marginalisation in Imo
IMO State Governor Hope Uzodinma has assured the people of Ohaji/Egbema and Oguta Local Government Areas that the era of marginalisation was over.
Uzodinma expressed displeasure over the deplorable state of communities in the area, despite the huge amount of money that goes to the Imo State Oil Producing and Development Commission monthly from the 13 percent derivation fund. Uzodinma disclosed that his administration will set up a monitoring and evaluation committee to ensure that projects are executed in line with contract specifications. He said the new board of ISOPADEC, which will soon be constituted, shall be made up of people of integrity and proven track record, who will help drive the desired change and foster prosperity in the area.
The governor urged them to get it right now that a brother and friend is the governor. “We must agree that we want the best for ourselves, we must begin to have change of attitude, thuggery and militancy must be resisted, and the time to harness our potential is now,” he added.
