Imo State Governor in Southeast Nigeria, Hope Uzodinma, says the decision by President Bola Tinubu to implement the Steve Oronsaye report will enhance governance and improve the nation’s economy.
The governor remarked in Abuja on Friday after he paid a visit to Vice President Kashim Shettima.
He said: “All over the world, what people are talking about now, due to the exigencies of the economic impact globally, is to cut costs and do prudent management of resources. So, Steve Oronsaye’s report is a very brilliant, bold and courageous document. If properly implemented, it will add value to the current policies and the determination of the government to cut costs and be prudent in expenditure.”
When asked if he would do a similar thing in Imo State to cut the cost of governance too, he simply said, “We are already implementing it.”
Security
Commenting on the improvement in the security situation in Imo, the governor attributed it to the grace of God.
“When you are under or enjoying the grace of God, all your problems are solved. So, I am very happy and delighted that the security situation in Imo State has improved—not only Imo State but the South-East as a region,” he said.
Uzodinma used the opportunity to assure Nigerians that the positive impacts of the current economic policies would be felt.
“This is coming at a time when our people are facing further challenges due to some of the economic policies that have not allowed the immediate take-off of good businesses. But I think that after some time, the effects will.
“But I think that after some time, the negative effects of some of these economic policies will be over and our economy will blossom again,” he added.
The governor assured residents of Imo State of better days ahead as he expressed appreciation for their support.
