Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has restated his administration’s unwavering commitment to proactive disaster management and environmental resilience, aligning with national directives on flood preparedness as emphasized at the recent National Economic Council (NEC) meeting held in Abuja.
The Council called on states to activate and strengthen their State Emergency Management Agencies (SEMAs), operationalize Local Emergency Management Committees (LEMCs), enforce physical planning regulations, and institutionalize monthly environmental sanitation practices.
Governor Uzodimma, who participated in the high-level deliberations, noted that Imo State is already ahead of the curve in implementing many of these strategies.
“In Imo State, we have not waited for the floodwaters to come knocking. We have maintained a renewed and robust collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and are steadfast in putting preventive and responsive systems in place,” the Governor said.
He emphasized that the state government has prioritized compliance with building codes and urban planning regulations, while reinforcing the culture of environmental sanitation across communities.
Governor Uzodimma’s position at the NEC meeting further reinforces Imo’s readiness to tackle climate-related emergencies and protect lives and property across the state.
