By Kelechi Ugo
The Provost of Imo State College of Health and Management Sciences, Amaigbo, Nwangele LGA, Pharm. Ethelbert Okechukwu Obiasogu, has lauded Governor Hope Uzodimma for what he described as “thunderous achievements” across Imo State.
Speaking to journalists in his office on Thursday, October 9, 2025, Pharm. Obiasogu described the recent visit of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the State as both timely and impactful, highlighting it as an opportunity to unveil several landmark projects executed by Governor Uzodimma.
Among the key projects commissioned during the presidential visit were the Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Conference Centre (EIICC) in Owerri, the newly constructed Control Post Twin Flyover, and the rehabilitated Owerri/Mbaise/Umuahia Road.
According to the Provost, the infrastructural renaissance being witnessed under Governor Uzodimma’s administration is a testament to his preparedness and genuine commitment to governance—contrary to past criticisms branding him a “Supreme Court Governor.”
"Those of us who knew Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma before his emergence as Governor were confident in his capacity to deliver,” Obiasogu said. “He is passionate about quality projects. A glance at the interior of the EIICC or any of the roads he has reconstructed speaks volumes of his vision. The people of Imo State are solidly behind him.”
Pharm. Obiasogu also extended his gratitude to the Governor for the autonomy and support granted to the Imo State College of Health and Management Sciences, noting that the institution has now successfully secured full accreditation across all required stages.
He further commended Governor Uzodimma for prioritizing workers' welfare in the state, citing the implementation of a new minimum wage of ₦104,000.
"His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, has demonstrated his commitment to the welfare of Imo workers. The new wage structure is just one of many efforts that show he truly has the interest of workers at heart," he concluded.
