“Today, I had an interactive session with stakeholders of Imo state across party lines; religious differences, political ideologies, and varied socio-cultural backgrounds with the purpose of accounting for my stewardship within the period under review to the good people of Imo state.
“In my presentation to the Imo stakeholders, I announced the departure of the state from over-dependence on federation allocation with an improved Internally Generated Revenue of over N1b per month.
“These could not have been actualized without an impact from the revamping of our state institutions vis-a-vis ADAPALM which now produces over 100,000 metric tons of pure red oil.
“With an improved state-of-the-art data centre, my administration is poised to transform the state from analog process of administration to a digitalized and modern system of administration.
