“Today, quality infrastructural development in the State, reminiscent of the Dee Sam Mbakwe Government, has come back” –  Hon. Amadi

The Deputy Minority Leader of the Imo State House Of Assembly and Member Representing Owerri Municipal State Constituency,  Hon Clinton Amadi, has expressed profound appreciation to the Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodimma, for  what he termed “the effective and efficient management of State resources in the execution of signature and people oriented projects in the State, particularly the State Capital, Owerri.

Hon. Amadi made the commendation on Friday, 5th, July, 2024, when he paid an observatory visit to the flyover construction project site at Assumpta Cathedral roundabout Owerri, to see the level of work so far done.

The Deputy Minority Leader, in his capacity as the Member Representing Owerri Municipal State Constituency, visited the site to evaluate the level of work done and, if any, identify challenges confronting the execution of the signature project, with a view towards how he could use his office and constituents to assist in the construction, so that the project would be completed on record time.

Addressing the Chief Site Engineer, Mr Seba El Nemer, and his workers on site, Amadi praised them for using high quality construction materials in the execution of the flyover project, describing it as an honest, sincere and patriotic approach to construction, unlike what was obtainable in previous administrations where contractors were reportedly allowed to use inferior materials for the execution of major projects, and those projects have all collapsed before the very eyes of Imo citizens, thereby wasting, most irresponsibly, the little resources of the State.

Amadi who is the House Committee Chairman on Digital Economy and E-Govenment said: “In terms of quality infrastructure, the Imo State Government is not doing badly. This is a departure from what Imo citizens, particularly, Owerri people, experienced on poorly executed projects, from previous administrations. Today,  quality infrastructural development in the State, reminiscent of the Dee Sam Mbakwe Government, have come back. All the entry roads into the State Capital, Owerri Municipal, which I am representing in the Imo State House Of Assembly, are wearing good and quality looks. The shabbily constructed inland bridges by previous Government, have been reconstructed. The collapsed Imo International Conference Center, IICC, is being reconstructed.  I therefore commend Governor Hope Uzodimma for his dedication, sincerity and hard work”.

Earlier in his remarks, the Chief Site Engineer of the construction company, Craneburg, handling the flyover project, Mr Seba El Nemer, while welcoming  Hon Clinton Amadi and his entourage, explained that his company is known for quality and durable work, assuring that the flyover project, when completed would stand the test of time, like the ones they constructed in other states of the country. He also pledged to deliver on record time.

Amadi, also, visited the Okigwe Road/IMSU junction, to see the possibility of government extending another flyover project in the area, which would assist in easing traffic jam. He promised to raise a Motion on the floor of the House to that effect.

Those in his entourage were the Vice Chairman, House Committee On Digital Economy And E-Government, and Member Representing Isu State Constituency, Hon Barrister Emeka Ozurumba and former Deputy Speaker of IMHA, 2011–2015, Rt Honourable Donatus Ozoemelam.
