Governor Rochas Okorocha disclosed this while addressing chairmen of traditional rulers’ council and community speakers of the fourth-tier of government at the Rochas Foundation Centre, Owerri recently.
The governor said that the project, a direct labour initiative, would involve the collaboration of the council and the communities.
He advised the local councils to rehabilitate the communities’ major markets to enhance their revenue profile, adding that the Avutu Modern Poultry Farm would soon be restored to full capacity.
Governor Okorocha said that the law backing the activities of the community speakers would soon be passed by the state House of Assembly, even as he enjoined the traditional rulers to avoid engaging in partisan politics.
He lamented the over-bloated costs of contracts by the previous administration and vowed to review such contracts in order to save funds for all government people-oriented projects.
“I am not working to get re-elected but working to leave a legacy for children yet unborn. I promise you that at the end of four years, I will do better than the late Governor Sam Mbakwe,” he said.
Chairman of Imo State Council of Traditional Rulers, Eze Agunwa Ohiri said that the present government has done well in several spheres of governance especially on the introduction of the novel fourth-tier of government. He pledged the support of Ndieze to Okorocha’s administration.
He reminded his colleagues of the necessity to reside in their domains so as to be abreast of events within their localities, even as he advised the community speakers to get their approvals from the royal fathers.
