President Tinubu assured citizens that challenges arising from crucial reforms are actively being addressed.
“In the past 40 years, a few people were cornering our common wealth, and calling it a subsidy, but I call it wasteful. Right now, we are all bearing and sharing that pain. But things are looking up. Things will get better for the good of all Nigerians. With me, there is hope.

“Before now, people were afraid of coming to Imo state, but today Imo is safe and open for business. What we have learnt from this experience is the importance of unity, cooperation, and a focus on our internal security.”
He implored the governor to work even harder for the people, emphasising that hard work is the reward for a re-election.
“I assure you that your hopes are renewed. Be assured of the support of the federal government to ensure rapid development of your state,” he concluded.
Speaking after the administration of oaths of office by the Imo State Chief Judge, Justice Theresa Chukwuemeka-Chikeka, Mr Uzodinma pledged that his second tenure would be an uncommon tenure in the execution of policies.
“We have been able to lay a solid foundation for accelerated economic growth and development of our state. We also addressed the decay we met in the civil service, the decay we met in the education sector, and the health sector. In addition, we addressed the lingering problem of unemployment through the variety of youth empowerment initiatives.
“We carried out a digital version of dealing with the unemployment market, which included the provision of digital and other portable skills, including artificial intelligence to our teeming young men and women,” he said.
The governor unveiled his priorities, emphasizing a four-year administration dedicated to enhancing shared prosperity via extensive infrastructure expansion. He outlined his government’s vision, anchored on a 10-year development plan, with the potential to make the state self-sufficient.
