President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s visit to Imo State marks a significant milestone in the alignment of federal and state development strategies, according to Hon. Dr. Chika Abazu, the state’s Commissioner for Special Duties.

Dr. Abazu, in a statement issued ahead of the President’s engagements in the state, emphasized that the visit represents a deepening of institutional collaboration in delivering high-impact projects that improve quality of life for citizens.

“We are pleased to welcome President Tinubu to Imo at a time when key infrastructure and health projects are being completed,” Dr. Abazu said. “This visit is not just ceremonial; it’s a celebration of results and of leadership that listens.”

Projects to be inaugurated include the Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Conference Centre (EIICC), the Assumpta Flyover, five modern general hospitals, and major dualized roads connecting urban and rural communities.

“These interventions are not abstract. They are real, touchable improvements to healthcare access, mobility, and economic opportunity. And they exemplify the synergy between the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda and Governor Uzodimma’s action-oriented development strategy.”

According to Dr. Abazu, the collaboration showcases a working model for subnational development that aligns closely with national goals: “This is the future of governance in Nigeria: purposeful partnerships that produce outcomes. We thank Mr. President for reaffirming that Imo State matters on the national map.”
