The Southeast is witnessing great leaps in infrastructural, economic, educational and social development and revolution, unprecedented, since the advent of the Fourth Republic. This is to a large extent due to the unparalleled determination and dedication of the current set of governors of the region and also other stakeholders, led by His Excellency Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, CON.
From Umuahia to Awka, accolades are pouring in from across political and social divides over the rate and pace of infrastructural revolution going on. From Owerri to Abakaliki and Enugu, the people are pleasantly surprised at the strategic and coordinated development of all sectors of the economy, despite the huge political, security and economic challenges confronting the region and the country at the moment.
There is no doubt, a renewed and competitive commitment by these governors to the overall development and stabilisation of their various State’s economies, security, education and infrastructure. It is laudable that every State of the Southeast is vigorously implementing audacious, people oriented and highly profitable blueprints.
As the Chairman of the Southeast Governors’ Forum and, unarguably, the most regarded political leader from the Southeast, His Excellency Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, CON, has been unrelenting in championing the cause of the Southeast and motivating his brother governors from the Southeast to embark on life changing projects and programs, as he supports them, notwithstanding, their political Party differences, to access the required support from the Federal Government, when it is required.
One of the obstacles to development in the Southeast over the past years has been the lack of political harmony among critical leaders and stakeholders, but the Imo State governor has prioritised consensus building and unity of vision and this has helped in no small way to ensure that political leaders and other elites in the region focus their attention on revitalising Southeast infrastructure and economy to the benefit of the people.
His Excellency believes that the most important objective of governance is solving the problems confronting the people and the State, hence, his determination to continue to work assiduously for the improvement of lives of the people of Imo State, primarily, and the Southeast in general.
Governor Uzodimma is especially delighted and counts it among his good fortunes to work with very intelligent, creative, patriotic, passionate and dedicated counterparts in the Southeast. The indisputable improvement in good governance index across the Southeast shall be sustained and improved upon to the happiness and joy of all the people of the Southeast.
Ala Igbo Shall Prevail!
