UZODIMMA LEADS THE WAY IN TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNANCE.

In keeping with Governor Hope Uzodimma's resolve to run an open, transparent and accountable administration, all stakeholders and the general public are by this notice informed that the 7th edition of the regular meeting of the Imo State Stakeholders Forum will hold on Thursday, January 5th, 2023.


In line with what has become the tradition of this administration, His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Imo State,  Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, will use the auspicious occasion to render an updated account of his stewardship to Imo people since the last stakeholders meeting. However, since the meeting will almost coincide with the third anniversary of Governor Uzodimma’s administration,

the governor will also use the occasion to brief the stakeholders on his achievements in the last three years. Thereafter, he would also share his vision for the future. 


Before then, His Excellency will on January 4th, 2023 host a three-hour live phone-in programme with all private and public radio stations in the state. This will also be streamed live online to give Imo people – including those in the diaspora – the opportunity to seek clarifications and ask questions on all aspects of the governance of the state.


Civil society organizations, trade unions, students, market associations, road transport unions and other interest groups will be invited to witness and participate in the live phone-in programme.  


This is a unique and novel town hall meeting arrangement which seeks to engage virtually every stratum of the society in an interactive session with their Governor, in keeping with Senator Uzodimma's avowed determination to remain transparent and accountable to the people of the state.


This ceremony will hold in the afternoon of Wednesday, 4th January 2023. It will be followed later in the day by the ceremony for the presentation of the awards for the Second Governor Hope Uzodimma Annual Awards for Media Excellence, for practising Journalists in the state. The maiden edition of the awards was held in 2021.


His Excellency will also use the occasion of the awards to host a dinner in honour of all .
