While promising more welfare packages for Imo workers, the Governor also announced the free medical healthcare insurance scheme for all Imo workers for all types of illnesses except cancer.

According to the Governor, "In the next two days, we are flagging off the social health insurance program. The Imo State Government will be paying a minimum of 80 million nairas every month for you to be taking free medical treatment at designated hospitals. The only sickness that is not listed is cancer. For any other sickness, as an Imo worker, you will go to hospitals where we've invited the national technical team from Abuja to audit".

He asked the workers to remain resolute and not be distracted by persons who are acting on behalf of enemies of the state as they are co-drivers of government policies for the betterment of all Imolites.
