Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma has reiterated his commitment to accountability, stating that he is responsible for the actions and inactions of his government. The governor made this assertion while attending a church service at the Government House Chapel to commemorate Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary.

Uzodinma expressed gratitude to God for the opportunity to lead the state and pledged to remain accountable for his decisions and actions as governor. He acknowledged that Nigeria is endowed with abundant natural resources but faces challenges in utilizing them productively for economic recovery and improved livelihoods.

The governor emphasized the need for change, stating that the old ways of doing things must give way to new approaches. He urged citizens to move forward and not dwell on the past, highlighting the importance of productivity and hard work. According to Uzodinma, a busy and productive mind is essential for progress, and idleness can lead to negative consequences.

Uzodinma’s remarks come as Nigeria continues to navigate its economic and social challenges. The country’s rich natural resources have not yet translated into widespread prosperity, and many citizens face difficulties in accessing basic services and opportunities. The governor’s call for a new approach and emphasis on accountability may be seen as a response to these challenges.

As Nigeria marks its 65th anniversary of independence, Uzodinma’s comments may be viewed as a reflection of the broader need for reform and progress in the country. The governor’s commitment to accountability and his emphasis on the importance of hard work and productivity may be seen as a step towards addressing the state’s and the country’s challenges.
