We have to clean up the place and make it look like a home for business. I have two years left as a governor, I am not building the state for myself, but for governors and citizens even yet unborn. This is the spirit with which I have come to this state”Governor Okorocha said.
He continued, “There was also a systematic handover of the state to deities before I came in, and I said I have come to bring light and that light has come with our projects scattered all over the nooks and crannies of the state. We have embarked on urban renewal and have to remove shanties and create the eight lane roads you are seeing now though with challenges from the elite. But today, people are happy”.
According to Governor Okorocha, his government “also came and brought in federal presence by using certain strategies including provision of facilities and donating to federal agencies and forces like the Airforce, Navy, Police and Army.
" We have also assisted the Catholic Church to build Catholic University in Orlu LGA which is in progress. The state would also like to partner the Methodist Church to build Methodist University in the state. We have also built International Cargo Airport all in the bid to attract federal presence”Governor Okorocha promised.
Earlier, His Eminence Dr. Uche told the governor that they were in the state for two days apostolic visit to the churches, and said he was happy with the governor’s visionary leadership, pointing out that his radical transformation of the state was commendable.
The Prelate reminded the governor that those who like to share money won’t appreciate what he is doing in the state but the less privileged who benefit from these Projects and Policies like the free education, would be the ones to appreciate him
