Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has been applauded by
the Executive Council of the State for motivating the state’s judges with car
gifts.
The Council said on Wednesday after their meeting that the
Governor has demonstrated the humanity in him and willingness to provide
leadership.
They gave their nod to the purchase and donation of 23
Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) for the judges and another one for the newly
elected Deputy Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly.
Briefing reporters on the outcome of the meeting, the
Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba reiterated that the
purpose of the car gifts was to motivate the judges and facilitate their job.
The commissioner said what was instructive was the ingenuity
of Governor Uzodinma to source funds for the purchase of the vehicles from
Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) base of the State.
Emelumba further informed that the vehicles were procured at
the cost of N22million per vehicle as against the budgeted N37million per
vehicle by the sacked government, and as such saved nearly ₦500 million from
the cost of the 23 vehicles, adding that the Governor saved the state from
unnecessary and frivolous financial waste.
