In 2020, we launched an almanac and gave out scholarship where we paid the WAEC and school fees of over 10 students, while the overall best student is currently under University scholarship. Again in 2022, we had a sensitization program where a campaign against hard drug intake was a key theme, as well as scholarship programs too”

He was particular that the honour given to him came from the Governor’s immediate hometown.
The elder statesman revealed that Governor Uzodimma’s emergence was not by coincidence, but God’s Will that he would emerge and at that point in time in Imo’s history.
“I had the vision of Governor Hope Uzodimma’s Governorship Position, that was why I gave him my full support without any regrets, and he has gone beyond people’s expectations in making Imo a haven for development, and investment”.
Reassuring his LG kinsmen, Nnawugo affirmed that his office can attract direct foreign investment to the State which will favour all and sundry,but with their collective effort in ensuring that the governor returns in Douglas House for his second term.
He charged them, especially the youths to rally round their brother the governor under whose leadership the State is transformed to the envy of other sister States through his democratic tenets and good governance.
“We cannot say all that the Governor has done. His legacies in terms of infrastructure, human and capital development are top notch. They are numerous. These are eloquent testimonies why he deserve our collective support for a second term journey. He didn’t disappoint in this first tenure, so second journey is assured”.
The youths were further enjoined not to join the bandwagon of never-do-wells, or plot negatively for the progress of the State.
