Ihedioha: Certain things must change in Imo - The Nation Newspaper

Imo State Governor Emeka Ihedioha has been grappling with challenges of governance in the last 100 days. In this piece, Walter Duru highlights the steps taken by the governor to reposition the state.

For an administration that did not receive any handover note; for an administration that inherited decayed infrastructure, indescribable looting of public treasury and property, as well as complete breakdown of due process and rule of law, coupled with huge debt profiles, it is indeed a miracle that all of these feat could be achieved within a hundred days in office.

More so, strengthening the legal framework against corruption is very expedient at this point. Imo people expect that laws such as the Freedom of Information Act and Proceeds of Crime law are born in Imo State. After all, adoption of the FOI Act was part of the campaign promises of Governor Ihedioha and Deputy Governor Gerald Irona.

They must also be on the lookout for banana peels and land mines, while ensuring that they do not repeat the mistakes of the past administration. Indeed, Imo is being rebuilt. On building Institutional Framework for Good Governance, he stressed that “we have set up a structure for transparency and accountability in the governance process. Accordingly, we have signed into law, Executive Order 005, known as Treasury Single Account Order to consolidate all government revenues under one account. We have also adopted other measures designed to plug leakages and increase Internally Generated Revenues in the state coffers.
