Appreciations:
Stakeholders appreciate His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, the Executive Governor of Imo State, for quality governance and for providing a veritable ground for the association of good concerns to strive in the State because if there is no peaceful atmosphere in the State, this gathering would not have been held.
