THE Imo Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mrs Ruby Emele, has urged Imo residents to support Gov. Hope Uzodimma’s power sector reforms for the state’s economic advancement.
Emele made the call during an interactive session with newsmen in Owerri on Monday.
She praised Uzodimma for doing a “wonderful job” in the area of power generation, saying that his efforts were offering the state an alternative to the national grid.
She said that given the spate of blackouts, it would be necessary for well-meaning Imo people to support the governor’s efforts so as to ensure steady power supply and guarantee sustainable economic growth of the state.
“Gov. Hope Uzodimma is doing such a wonderful job with electricity generation and he needs our support.
“To the glory of God, we have started seeing the results as the work is moving stage by stage.
“The New Owerri area now has power and gradually it will trickle down to the local government areas outside the capital city,” the commissioner said.
She also lauded the governor’s efforts in human capital development and road construction and rehabilitation.
“This stride, when complemented with power generation, would position Imo for greatness,” she said.
Emele thanked the governor for sustaining his commitment to developing the state, in spite serving his second term.
She prayed for his successor, who would believe in continuity.
“The governor is ready to work until his final day in office and we pray that God will give us someone who will continue the good work and even do more after him,” Emele said. (NAN)
