“I want to commend youths of Ohaji/Egbema and Oguta for their exemplary conduct, notwithstanding that Niger Delta youths have been so much into restive activities, those from Imo, have operated with caution.”
He said no meaningful development will be recorded within the oil bearing areas and the entire Niger Delta region if the people are hostile to the government and companies doing business in their areas.
Maduagwu thanked Gov Uzodinma for appointing a worthy son of the oil rich region, like Chief Charles Orie as managing Director ISOPADEC., adding that such appointment deserves every commendation.
He further made a passionate appeal to the governor to involve more youths from the oil region in his administration subsequently.

Maduagwu who described Gov Uzodinma as God’s best gift to Imo citizens appealed to the Youths to partner the state government to ensure the security issues become history in the state.
