Imo State governor, Hope Uzodinma should concentrate on infrastructural development, education and prompt payment of workers during his reign as the state governor, President General of Onitsha South Shop Owners Traders Association of Nigeria, Chief Eric Uwaoma has said.
Eric believes the new governor should follow in the footstep of Mr Peter Obi and Governor Willie Obiano in that regard.
According to him, Gov. Uzodinma should also desist from appointing people that live outside the country as his Commissioner, Special Advisers, and Special Assistants and should rather go for the ones who stay in the nation and collaborated with him during the electioneering campaigns.
He added that the new governor should see Governor Obi and his successor Chief Willie Obiano of Anambra State as role models because they were both successful since they focused on what the people wanted.
His words, “Governor Uzodinma should also pay attention to workers salaries, the welfare of pensioners and education if he wants to achieve success in his administration, Imo State.
“Imo people like education and Governor Uzodinma should ensure that lack of money does not prevent any Imo child from acquiring education, he should grant free education where it is necessary in the level of education, Primary, Secondary and Tertiary education.
“We expect Governor Uzodinma to continue all the good works started by former Governors Rochas Okorocha and Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, since it is Imo people that stand to gain from completing such projects.
“The people of Imo State will be happy with Governor Uzodinma if he completes and makes functional the abandoned 27 Local Government General Hospital projects of Senator Okorocha’s administration, Imo people need their General Hospital to function again.
“Governor Uzodinma should equally complete the destroyed and abandoned community markets the Okorochas administration planned to construct after they were knocked down by the same government.”
