… _Moving Forward with Purpose and Gratitude_

As we step into a new month, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the good people of Imo State for their unwavering support towards the seamless progress of Governor Dist.Sen Hope Uzodimma’s second term. Together, we are witnessing remarkable progress as the Governor spearheads numerous infrastructural projects aimed at alleviating the sufferings of Imolites.


The ongoing reconstruction projects, including the Imo State University junction to Chukwuma nwoha axis and Orji flyover road axis, as well as the already commenced construction of a flyover at Control post, deserve commendation. These initiatives are pivotal in our collective journey towards a better, more prosperous Imo State.

I also want to appreciate the hardworking Imo workers whose dedication and support have been instrumental in the achievements of the present Shared Prosperity administration. It is heartening to note that the Governor has prioritized the welfare of workers by ensuring the timely payment of salaries, pensions, and now, the commencement of gratuity payments to retirees.

As we celebrate workers’ day today, let us renew our commitment to the progress and prosperity of our dear state. Together, let us continue to build a brighter future for all Imolites.

Wishing everyone a happy new month filled with blessings, progress, and prosperity. Rest assured, the All Progressives Congress remains committed to producing leaders who will positively impact the economic fortunes of our beloved state.

 

Your’s in solidarity,

Hon. MacDonald Ebere, PhD
State Chairman, APC, Imo State.
