The Emeka Ihedioha government has
stated that it was taking a bold step in repositioning Imo State in order to
meet the aspirations of the people despite what it met on ground.
Special Assistant to the governor
on new media, Aic Akwarandu, said this in a statement on Thursday to mark the
100 days of the administration.
It said, among other projects,
the governor has flagged off massive road construction which cuts across Orlu,
Owerri, Okigwe zones, measuring 81km and valued at N23.4bn.
“The roads include: Ahiara-Okpala
junction, Nkume-Umuowa-Orlu, Mgbidi–Oguta, Naze-Nekede-Ihiagwa-Obinze Concord
Hotel –Jacob Zuma, Imo State University Teaching Hospital Orlu, Imo State
University – Bishop Court, Aba Branch-Ahiara junction, Okigwe Roundabout – St.
Mary Okigwe, Asumpta –Umuguma junction, Douglas–Naze junction, Control – Umuguma
roundabout, Assumpta – PH road.
“In line with the rebuild mantra
of Gov. Ihedioha, the Dan Anyiam Stadium and Grasshopper International Handball
Stadium have been flagged off for rehabilitation and reconstruction.
“The work which is expected to be
completed in 90 days will see the complete replacement of the tartan tracks,
the scoreboard, the floodlights and the football playing pitch. The 13,000
capacity will be among the world’s best.
“The stadium has been completely
dilapidated for years, the reason the state football team, Heartland FC, now
play at the Okigwe stadium.
“The resuscitation of Technical
and Vocational Education Training (TVET) is a priority of the Rebuild Imo
Project.
“The governor has also started
the massive reconstruction and rehabilitation of the four technical schools in
the state.
“The reconstruction work at
Government Technical School is being financed 100% by Zenith Bank. Other
technical schools flagged off for reconstruction are Government Technical
College, Mbaise; Government Technical College, Mbano.”
