For instance, it noted that Uzodimma had not only constructed and reconstructed more than 100 roads, including the dualization of Owerri-Orlu Road, but gone ahead to revive other decayed infrastructures.
According to the paper, the governor also made a significant difference in urban renewal, provision of night landing facilities at Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri and rehabilitated the Owerri water works which had been abandoned for more than 15 years.
