Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma has inaugurated the Implementation Committee of the White Paper On Lands And Related Matters.
According to Governor Uzodimma “Your primary duties are to recover for Imo people all the assets gazetted in the White paper as set out in the recommendations of the Commission.”
The Governor stated that with the inauguration of the Committee, the three mantras of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Recovery have further been amplified as a compass for the conduct of Government business under his watch.
