Imo State governor, Hope Uzodimma has assured Imo indigenes that 2023 will be far better than 2022 given his determination to complete critical road infrastructure his administration initiated in the year that just ended.
Specifically, Uzodimma said that the Owerri-Umuahia road, the Orlu- Mgbee- Akokwa-Uga road and the Oguta- Okporo-Orlu road will all be completed in good time this year and with the already completed Owerri-Orlu and Owerri-Okigwe signature roads, Imo can never be the same again in terms of road network.
He said what his administration has fixed, so far will help to catalyse trade and commerce and boost the economy of the State.
Governor Uzodimma said 2023 is a year to watch because “it is a year that Imo people will look back to and further appreciate this administration for keeping faith with our social contract with the people.”
He said though 2023 is an election year and demands that the citizens “should conduct themselves peacefully before, during and after the elections,” adding that “things are looking up and 2023 is likely to be better than 2022.” Uzodimma who gave the assurance in his New Year message noted that despite the fact that 2022 came with a lot of challenges nationally , “we have every reason to thank God for sparing our lives to see this year.”
The Governor noted further that the transformation that had taken place in Imo State since he assumed office in 2020 due to the hard work, sacrifice, honesty, prudence and tenacious dedication to duty by his team will continue, while urging the citizens not to despair, but to remain steadfast in their prayer as God’s blessings will be certain in the transformation of the state.
