Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has pledged continued collaboration with lawmakers to ensure the development of the state.
While congratulating the lawmakers on their first anniversary, Governor Uzodimma said: “Let me assure you that I will strive to provide the enabling environment for you to execute your legislative duties and support your training programmes and improvement. I will always have your back as we collectively render selfless service to our people.
“Mr. Speaker, Honourable members, let me reiterate that I am here today to demonstrate my deep respect for this institution and my genuine appreciation for your cooperation with my administration since I assumed office as the Governor of Imo State. I am also here to celebrate hard work, resourcefulness, and patriotism. You represent the best, and your constituents made the right choice in electing you. Your legislative excellence is in consonance with my commitment to serving our people with integrity. Transparency and accountability shall continue to be my watchword.”
Governor Uzodimma explained that his administration was in a hurry to turn around the economic fortunes of Imo State, saying the lawmakers had through their bills and motions shown that they were also in sync with his developmental plans for the State.
The Governor identified the motions on the Public Private Partnership (PPP) as particularly encouraging, noting that lawmakers had shown that they understood the dynamics of the current global economic and development trajectory.
The Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Chike Olemgbe, maintained that Imo State could soon become the economic hub of the South East with the sustained harmony between both arms of the government.
