The Governor of Imo State, His Excellency Rt. Hon. Emeka Nkem Ihedioha has praised the current Governing Board members of ISOPADEC for their sense of\u00a0industry in the\u00a0development of the oil producing areas of Imo State.<\/p>\n

He also praised the Deputy Governor, Engr. Gerald Irona for being painstaking in the selection of the members of the Board.<\/p>\n

Governor Ihedioha, Friday at Oguta Civic Centre in Oguta L.G.A, speaking on the occasion\u00a0of the First Security Summit of Ohaji\/Egbema and Oguta\u00a0L.G.As<\/a>, showered the encomiums.<\/p>\n

His Excellency said: “When we started this government, I told you people that I will not be\u00a0interested in your money,\u00a0but I will monitor what\u00a0you do with it. I then directed the Deputy Governor to ensure that those to be appointed as\u00a0Board Members are people of proven integrity. People who understand that we must\u00a0Rebuild Imo. We even went ahead to constitute an Advisory Committee for them to be careful”.<\/p>\n

“Let me seize this time to\u00a0thank the Deputy Governor for spearheading a thorough\u00a0selection process. From every available indices, I can confirm\u00a0that this board is doing very well “.<\/p>\n

The governor took special delight in the restoration of electricity in some parts of Oguta, and assured that very soon, it will get to other areas of Ohaji\/Egbema and Oguta, including Awarra Court Area.<\/p>\n

“As you can see, some areas in Oguta have been reconnected to the national grid. We shall spread it to all other areas of Ohaji\/Egbema and Oguta. I have instructed that\u00a0 ISOPADEC and Walter Smith will join hands in the electrification of Awarra Court Area. We shall come for its flag off, soon. I am sure that the people of Awarra Court Area will remember, after we give them light, how they were living in darkness. The era of government deceiving our people is gone”,\u00a0Ihedioha said.<\/p>\n

Earlier while speaking on the occasion, Deputy Governor of Imo State Engr. Gerald Irona averred that ISOPADEC money is now judiciously utilized for the interest of the people, citing the ongoing projects of the Commission in the oil producing areas as case study.<\/p>\n

Deputy governor noted, however, that no meaningful development can take place in an environment where cultism, kidnapping, oil bunkering, banditry, rape, armed robbery, proliferation of arms, and\u00a0herders\/farmers conflict are the order of the day, and therefore commended ISOPADEC for the donation of six brand new hilux vehicles to security outfits in the Imo State oil region, for their operations.<\/p>\n

Reacting on behalf of the ISOPADEC Board, the Chairman, Barr. Magnus Obido expressed his profound gratitude for the opportunity given to them to\u00a0 serve their people, and added that the\u00a0 commendation from Governor Ihedioha and his Deputy, Engr. Irona will inspire them to work harder.<\/p>\n

The Chairman revealed\u00a0that, from the beginning, ISOPADEC Board members resolved to eschew personal interest and internal wrangling, and this is the secret of the success they have recorded so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
