Nwabueze Akobundu who spoke on behalf of others decried government neglect on the layout, which contributed to shutdown of most viable industries.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">He prayed that their major concern is accessible roads, and would be glad if the present government can hearken to their plight.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Speaking to newsmen, the Chairman, Gmicord Industrial Group, Goddi M. Ihenachor commended the governor for his prompt response.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Expressing optimism, Ihenachor averred that the visit has restored hope to the industrialists, especially most of them that borrowed money to ensure they keep their businesses moving.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">He stressed that the layout was abandoned unkept past years, maintaining that Uzodinma&#8217;s coming is an evidence geared towards his mantra of &#8216;industrializing&#8217; the State.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Onyekachi Eze Imo State government has ordered an immediate
