President Muhammadu Buhari Tuesday urged Governor Hope Uzodinma to sustain the momentum of efforts of his government to provide infrastructure and improve the welfare of the people of Imo state.
He went further to commend the vision of the governor which he said has brought about the completion of projects being commissioned within one year in office.
President Buhari spoke at the virtual inauguration of two roads in Owerri, the Imo state capital, completed within the first year in office of the governor.
He applauded the governor on the completion of the Assumpta Cathedral to General Hospital junction road as well as the World Bank to Federal Secretariat road, describing the two roads commissioned on his behalf by the Imo state governor as “quite symbolic and strategic.”
President Buhari said: “The first road, the Assumpta to Hospital junction road, is the gateway to the South-south from the South-east.
“The second road, the World Bank to Federal Secretariat road, is an important access way to the federal government secretariat and a major connecting link road between the residents of the densely populated World Bank area of the state and the rest of the state capital.”
President Buhari said he was aware that in the first year in office of Governor Uzodinma, the government had embarked on an ambitious target of executing 46 road projects, noting that the governor is transforming the state with the projects.
The president added: “I am glad to learn that significant strides are being made towards their completion, and a number of them are amongst those being commissioned as part of the events in honour of the one-year anniversary.”
