When the Supreme Court announced him as Governor of Imo State, many were skeptical about what the two time Senator would offer to the people of Imo State in terms of governance. The Orlu born politician fresh from his numerous battles with Rochas Okorocha who simply wanted to turn Imo into Okorocha and Sons INC and then the legal battles with former Governor Ihedioha had a number of question marks on what he had to offer to Ndi Imo.
Hitting the ground running, Governor Hope Uzodinma has sought to turn Imo around, away from the squandermania and the mismanagement that was initially witnessed under the administrations of the past, under the auspices of “A Shared Prosperity” anchored on his 3 R’s of Recovery, Reconstruction and Rehabilation, his administration has helped Imo save N2bn of its resources by simply automating the state’s finances.
Likewise in education, Uzodinma has advanced policies that will allow Imo State University, the state’s fledging academic institution clamber into the top ranked universities in the Federation. In addition to this he has established the University of Agriculture and environmental sciences.
