People and their reasoning sef... That's why politicians keep using and dumping you all cuz of your gullibility and how fickle you are. Some one wants Ihedioha to focus strictly in economic development and doesn't support recovering of government stolen properties, smh... You can't keep fetching and pouring water into perforated pot, only a stupid person does that. How can government aids cart away with government properties, and you don't want deterant to such attitude but you expect development? What would deter the present official aids from doing the same thing when the time of the current administration elapses if nothing is done to those that did same in the past govt..? Who said recovering of properties would quench state government from carrying out other necessary functions? There's task force set up for that, so won't stop Ihedioha from carrying out his job. Only guilty conscience fears accusation, if you don't hv any govt property with you, no need to shiver, I'm in support of state government going after state government looters, if you support buhari for going after looters but now kicking against it, na hypocrisy go kill you, more over, I thought our dear state anthem says '... Corruption must stop in our time..? So that's what Ihedioha is trying to do. To those f00ls that always roping mbaise into everything the state government does, continue, na you go tire, na mbaise go kill you, you ain't even better and can never be better than them, even without being in power, they've have been waxing stronger both international, your hate on them can't stop them. Those already want Ihedioha to perform miracle within 30 days, chill his antecedent after 100 days will make us judge him, I would even be in forefront dragging him, I don't play the hatred and sentimental politics you play, I supported Rochas over Ihedioha until Rochas turned semi demi god, so if Ihedioha fails, will drag him too. Hide your hatred, it's too early, though we know those that can never say anything good about Ihedioha even when he transform Imo to good, I know them here, and I can't take them serious for once.

It's as if they think laws stop mattering when the criminal makes it to senate.

The Endless Scam Blues...
- Okorocha an honourable man like no other

While our immediate past Governor, Ethelbert Okorocha hurriedly commissioned some of his personal projects as government projects to have a soft landing, one of them is that Hospital he called Free Hospital for Mother and Child.

Yesterday, I walked down School Road to connect Douglas Road. Through that market, my journalistic instinct led me back to the so called hospital. Lo and behold it was can of worms. Like I earlier argued, that made-up project was nothing but people's place of business he wanted to convert to personal plaza. Having lost freely, he changed the ownership overnight.

To insult our sensibilities, he took the scam further by playing Osinbajo to come and commission a plaza as a hospital. My people this is the the real project Okorocha called a hospital. Just look at the back...

Imo State Government to Revive Agriculture

—As Foreign Investors Visit Avutu Poultry on Site Inspection

One of the key determinants of growth in any economy is the level of direct investments that it receives from abroad. The willingness of such investors to inject capital into any section of an economy is also an indication of the confidence they feel that government can provide an enabling environment for wealth creation.

It is in this light that the new government of Imo State has opened the doors of the state to investors willing to harness its abundant potentials. As a consequence of this, Senior Management of the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority has led a high-powered team of foreign investors comprised of the senior management of Zalar Holdings of Morocco, and UFF of The Netherlands on inspection visit to the moribund Avutu Poultry Farm in Obowo Local Government Area. Due to protracted neglect, Avutu Farm has been in abeyance over several years.

The team has expressed its determination to transform the farm into a modern poultry business, hence was visiting to conduct a first-hand assessment of the industry. The team’s visit to Imo State is no doubt a welcome development and most importantly, a bold indication of things to come under the leadership of His Excellency, Emeka Ihedioha, CON.

The Governor has expressed his unwavering determination to attract investments in Imo State to guarantee employment of the indigenes of the State and restore its true potentials. This visit further demonstrates the Governor’s readiness and commitment to revive the agricultural sector and create wealth for the people.

The Team was led by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Agric Development, Mr Uche Odozor.

PAY ATTENTION TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT

DISSOLUTION OF ILLEGAL TASK FORCE

The Management of the Owerri Capital Development Authority (OCDA) under the watch of Mrs. Adaugo Okwara, Esq as the Acting General Manager wishes to use this medium to decisively warn the general public, particularly land developers within the 15km radius of the Owerri Capital Territory, to henceforth desist from dealing or transacting with any external task-force member or so-called consultants.

This action is necessitated by the recent outright dissolution of all hinterland task-force teams or members operating with the OCDA, owing to some irregularities observed by the Authority.

Till further notice, land developers and prospective landlords are, therefore by this announcement, advised to channel all proposed or ongoing transactions directly to the management of the OCDA and ensure that every payment is confirmed thereof.

Hence, be informed that anyone who goes ahead to transact with any of these persons or groups is doing so at their own risk.
To before forewarned is to forearmed!

Together, we shall Rebuild Imo towards ushering in the Eastern Heartland of our dream.

Certainly, the listed cannot be exhausted because its still counting as more and more women are being brought into Ihedioha administration.

It goes to prove that contrary to the views of the opposition, the State governor, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, is committed not only to appointing women into political office, but also to empowering them in different ways, including skills acquisition programmes.

Therefore, the women of Imo State ought to remain steadfast in their Support and prayers for the governor. The women pride themselves as the real workers. And it doesn't require too much of evidence to prove that truly women are the owners of work in politics!

The appointments demands from women faith in God and faith in the Ihedioha administration, resilient hardwork, and success-mindedness. Ultimately, the success of the rebuilding of Imo State will to extent depend on the commitment of Imo women. To whom much is given much is expected!

*Nwadike is the Special Assistant on Research to the Governor of Imo State.

He pointed out the key sectors of the state, which include; agriculture, transportation (given the strategic location of the state, it possess great potential for logistics and transportation through the air, land and waterways), electricity, Infrastructural rehabilitation and redevelopment will be the focal point for the rebuilding of the state.

Also brought to light, were the viable and underutilized potentials of the state’s resources such as the maritime, the positive exponential effect of the state’s financial if the fiscal policy is well structured.

The President of Afreximbank expressed satisfaction with the presentations and demonstrated keen interest in Imo State as the most strategically positioned state in the South-east. He reiterated that Afreximbank is willing to assist the new government of Imo State to attract Foreign Direct Investments which will lead to an exponential growth of the state’s IGR and GDP.

Prof. Oramah stated that the bank currently has major key players in the maritime sector that will be willing to invest in the commercialization of the Imo State waterways.

Imo State Capital to wear a New Look- Emeziem

By: Chimdiebube Anosike, Agency Reporters

The special adviser on Environment and Sanitation and the GM ENTRACO, Hon. Alex Emeziem, Jnr, has reassured the good people of Imo State of His Excellency, Gov. Emeka Ihedioha,s readiness to transform the State Capital, Owerri into a modern city.

The ENTRACO Boss made this known while flagging-off the first phase of Afforestation in Owerri. The Afforestation exercise which is expected to see a minimum of 5000 trees planted within the next three months, will be captured along the major roads and places in the State Capital.

Emeziem expressed the readiness of the state government to have an organized city. He noted that the agency will ensure that street trading along major areas in the state, unauthorized parks, especially those loading by the road side and roundabout, and other unauthorized activities in the state capital will become a thing of the past in the next couple of months.

On the conduct of ENTRACO Staff on task duty, the former State Assembly member said that the agency is determined to sensitize their staff on the need to perform their duty with utmost sense of discipline. He noted that I.D cards will be given to both Ad-Hoc and permanent members of staff to checkmate the activities of criminals who may be operating in disguise.

Recall that the Governor had launched the #GoGreenStayClean Environmental policy, aimed at restoring the lost glory of Imo as the cleanest state in the country.

Wetin dey worry you? Should they be flying before? Didn't Okorocha walk on roads constructed by Ohakim and Udenwa? Ihedioha is working but evil misguided fellows wants the masses to believe he is witch hunting his predecessor. Ihedioha must retrieve everything Okorocha took/stole from Imolites whether you and Agbowara likes it or not. See the news headlines and articles evil people have been hiding from the masses, thanks to ImoPatriot, keep them coming.

Imo beyond Rhetorics and Propaganda

—-As Dan Anyiam, Power Sub-Stations Receive Immediate attention

Most times, the most popular of politicians are the ones who are in love with lies and deceit. They are the type who make empty promises before a crowd, just to hoodwink and deceive people in order to keep loving and believing in them. For these type of politicians, the most important thing is not being sincere to people, rather, it is making sure that people remain loyal and supportive of them, not minding how this is achieved. To them, it is politically wrong to be truthful because they are afraid of losing followers and supporters. They appear to be what they are not.

His Excellency, Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha, has continued to live up to his promises to Imolites.

MY ADMINISTRATION WILL IMPLEMENT POLICIES EMPOWERING WOMEN, YOUTHS - IHEDIOHA

The governor of Imo State, Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha, has said the state government would implement economic friendly programs for the women and youths of the state.

Ihedioha spoke in his keynote address delivered at the 7th Professor Celestine Onwuliri memorial lecture held at the Conference Hall of Chris VI Hotels, Ahiara, Ahiazu Mbaise Local Government Area of the state, Friday.

The governor who spoke on the topic "Partnering With Women and Youth for economic and sustainable Development in Imo State" decried the level of youth unemployment and lack of women empowerment in the state.

He promised that women and youth would play prominent roles in his admiration.

He said, "our government shall be sensitive to gender issues, and ensure gender equity in government appointments and activities. We shall equip Imo women and youth with resources, micro-credits, skills training and entrepreneurship programmes to ensure productive undertakings”. This is our agenda and our vision for women and youths in Imo State. I dream of an Imo State where women are not marginalized because of their gender or for any reason at all."

Ihedioha said that through the revival of the technical colleges in the states, Youths with technical skills would be horned and equipped to become independent and employers of labour labour.

He stated," Our government shall ensure that young people get the right orientation towards becoming employers of labour, instead of aspiring to qualify for employment. This we shall achieve through various community development projects and empowerment programmes targeting young people and Women especially school leavers and graduates and designed to fund the acquisition of entrepreneurial skills and mind-set."

He noted that his administration will unleash and tap from the enormous potentials of the youths and women.

"Time has come therefore to retrain and reposition our Youths and Women. Time has come to unleash the enormous potentials of our Women and Youths. Time has indeed come to galvanise and mobilise the energies and abilities of our Women and Youths for the great and urgent task of Rebuilding Imo State, to the glory of God and mankind. We urgently need all the energy, brains, brawn, imagination and talents that our young people and Women can bring to bear on our problems. Imo cannot be creative and innovative without the full participation of it’s Women and young people. My ambition is to be that Governor that made this possible." Ihedioha said

The high point of the event was the presentation of a Leadership award to His Excellency, Governor Emeka Ihedioha, by Chinemerem Daniel Onwuliri, on behalf of the Professor Celestine Onwuliri Foundation.
