“To ensure sustenance of our road projects, we will revive the Road Maintenance Agency. We shall also vigorously pursue the rehabilitation, remobilisation and reconstruction of the Onitsha Road Industrial Layout.“We shall also  intensify efforts in our promotion of investment and industrialisation to bolster economic development in the state and create jobs.“I assure you that Imo is OPEN FOR BUSINESS. Our dedicated ‘ease of doing business’ desk is there to address bottlenecks potential investors may face. Our efforts are gradually yielding results.“Information Technology will also be the platform that we will use to sanitise our previously abused land administration and allocation system. “Today, we have an airport which is like the crowning jewel of our state. Many of us went through pains to make the contributions then.“Today, we look back rejoicing for the harvest of an airport that has become a leader among many others, “the governor said. (NAN)
