In his independence day broadcast, the governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma reiterated the gains from the visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to the State. Recall that Imoflash report the visit of President Buhari to the State on 9th September 2021, the occasion which he used to commission some of the project completed by the State government and as well held a town hall meeting with South East leaders.
"Few weeks ago, President Muhammadu Buhari was in our state to Commission four strategic projects executed by my administration. His visit has brought a lot of goodies to our people. I have just returned from Abuja where I went to follow up on approvals given by the President" he said.
"It is indeed my pleasure to inform the good people of Ndi-Imo that we are reaping bountiful benefits from the President's recent visit. Such benefits include the approval for the installation and conversion of Otamiri River to a Dam capable of powering a 10 megawatts plant that can generate electricity when completed and help improve water supply in the State. This as you know is a fallout from the Balloon driven technology underground tunnel which Mr. President commissioned".
The governor went ahead to announce the visit of the Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to the State to administer a round of empowerment program. "In a few weeks, the Vice President Prof. Yemi Osibanjo will be coming to Imo State, precisely on October 15th, to administer a N12billion empowerment programme to the private sector. Imo traders, artisans and the vulnerable are expected to benefit from this massive empowerment". This he said is a direct benefit from the presidential visit.
