NIGERIAN NOTCH

It was over breakfast with former Deputy Governor of Imo State, Sir Jude Agbaso when he said to me, "Obinna, if there is one thing I am certain about, it's the fact that Gov Hope Uzodinma really wants to work for Ndi Imo. We have seen governors come and go and you don't need a soothsayer to tell you that Uzodinma wants to leave a legacy behind by the time he leaves office." I agree with Sir Jude Agbaso. Listening to Gov Hope Uzodimma flagging off the Owerri to Umuahia road the other day, I heard a man with a passion to work for his people. A man who is not distracted from the mission to give his people they best he can offer to give them. Gov Hope Uzodinma became governor of Imo State at a very peculiar time, when the insurgency and banditry we used to read on the pages of newspapers as regular occurance in the North, suddenly decided to come down to the South East. From Chief Achike Udenwa to Dr Ikedi Ohakim, down to Senator Rochas Okorocha, it has never been this ba

...Imo people are my only asset. The Governor of Imo State, Sen. Hope Uzodimma has reiterated his commitment and administration’s resolve to serve and work for the common good of Imolites especially as it concerns development and wealth creation. These he tends to achieve by placing the state above personal interest. In his emotion-laden speech at the flag-off of Orlu-Mgbee-Akokwa road construction, Gov. Hope Uzodimma reinstated that upon assumption of office, he entered into a covenant of shared prosperity with only the people as his asset. “I entered into a covenant of shared prosperity, I *own* no hotel or property in Imo State, my only assets are the people.” as declared by Gov. Hope Uzodimma. This declaration is not far from the truth as the Governor has continued to live up to the mandate of shared prosperity and ensuring that the State is lifted up from poverty through his administration’s numerous achievements. Since the inception of the Shared Prosperity Government in the Stat

Over the years, the people of Ohaji/Egbema, Oguta and Oru East LGAs that make up the Imo State Oil Producing Communities, have been subjected to what they never bargained for in exchange for their God-given natural resources, mined from their soil. In a recent development on the activities of the Imo State Oil Producing Area Development Commission (ISOPADEC) towards the development of the oil-rich communities, N41m electricity bill backlog accumulated since 2011 for the three Local Government Areas of Ohaji/Egbema, Oguta and Oru East. This is a follow up to the electricity rehabilitation project of the ISOPADEC across the oil producing communities, having purchased and delivered all the needed electricity equipment to reactivate the electricity network in these Local Government Areas. Receiving the bank draft on behalf of the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC), Mr. Ezeoha Nnamani, the Operations Manager, commended the Shared Prosperity administration of His Excellency the Di

Speaking amidst bitterness, on behalf of the Council, the National President, Comrd. Igboayaka O. Igboayaka, who spoke to newsmen on Friday July 22nd, 2022, at Abuja, expressed utter disappointment and dissatisfaction over the blunt refusal of INEC to issue Chief Njoku a certificate as the party's chairman. Igboayaka accused INEC and Chief Victor Oye

Barring any last meeting change, all is set for His Excellency Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma to flag off the construction of Owerri,-Mbaise-Umuahia road and the Orlu-Mgbe-Akokwa roads. These roads are another set in a series of Federal Roads constructed by the Imo State Government under the Shared Prosperity Administration, with the approval and support of the Federal Government. Over the years, negligence of these roads by previous administration had left them to ruins. The deplorable state. these economic roads had taken a toll on the motorists, residents and business outlets along the routs.  These important road projects would be handled by Craneburg Construction Company and it's expensive that within record time, the project will be delivered. #HopeNewAndElectronicMediaCenter
