President Buhari applauded the Governor on the completion of the Assumpta to Hospital junction road and as well as the World Bank to Federal Secretariat road, respectively. 

He described the two roads commissioned on his behalf by the Imo Governor as ‘‘quite symbolic and strategic.’’ 

The President said he was aware that in the first year in office, the Imo state government had embarked on an ambitious target of executing 46 road projects.  

While congratulating the Governor for the feat, President Buhari noted that the infrastructure will go a long way in making life better for the people of lmo State and residents and visitors alike. 

He urged the Governor to sustain the momentum and accelerate the pace of good governance in the State. 

In his remarks, the Governor said the infrastructure achievements being celebrated in Imo State have been greatly influenced by the sterling qualities of the President and as such the State Executive Council unanimously voted to name the newly constructed World Bank to Federal secretariat road, Muhammadu Buhari road. 

Governor Uzodinma, however, declared that one year after, he had kept his promise to surmount the challenges he met on ground and had surpassed the expectations of Imo people. 

The Governor said beyond the 46 roads embarked upon by his administration, many of which have been completed, Imo people are also enjoying a new lease of life in health, education, agriculture, youth empowerment and rural development sectors.
