Uzodinma extends tenure of investigative panels, commissions of inquiry
In a bid to clear rubbles trailing the past administrations with a view to recovering some of the unlawful acquisition and misappropriated resources, Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has extended the tenure of the Investigative Panels and Commissions of Inquiry set up by the previous administration of Emeka Ihedioha on contracts, land acquisition and others.
Governor Uzodinma gave the charge rising from a meeting with the committees and in keeping to his mantra of Rehabilitation, Reconstruction and Recovery (3Rs) to drive home the policy thrust of his administration.
Recall that on assumption of office, January 15, 2020, he promised Imo people that his administration will foster prosperity, security and development.
Acknowledging that government is a continuum, the governor assured Imo people that his administration will not go into witch-hunting.
He said he will rather continue from where the previous administration stopped particularly in areas he believes will impact positively on the standard of living of Imo people.
During his meeting with the Committees, Uzodinma extended their tenure based on request by their members to enable them turn in objective and implementable reports.
Notable among the committees are: the Judicial Panel on Lands and Related Matters headed by Justice Ijeoma Ogugua, Investigative Panel on Contract Awards from 2011 till date headed by Justice Benjamin Ikeaka, Visitation Panels for Imo State University, Teaching Hospital Orlu, Imo State Polytechnic Umuagwo, and the Committee for the Investigation of Local Government Administration from 2011-2019 headed by Eze Duruiheoma (SAN) among others.
