The Governor further stated that with the limited resources of the State, the Owerri-Okigwe, Owerri-Orlu, and Owerri-Umuahia roads are some of the assets which needed urgent attention to help stimulate the state's economy.

He enjoined everyone to show commitment to the development of our State irrespective of the party and rise to condemn acts that don't represent the interest of Ndi Imo.

He yet again warned against acts that sabotage the interest of the people's development such as the kidnapping of contractors and stopping road construction.

Governor Uzodimma assured the people of Ehime-Mbano and other rural areas of more developments that will improve their communities and roll out hardship from their lands.
