Imo spent 95 per cent capital expenditure on security, N12b to be spent on schools

I will become a pastor, lawyer after office, says Uzodimma

Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has disclosed that his administration spent 95 per cent of capital expenditure to fight insecurity last year. Uzodimma, who disclosed this, on Wednesday, in a three and half hours radiophone in/ interactive programme, streamed from the Government House, Owerri, regretted that the scenario delayed development of the state.

He lamented that insecurity had been ravaging the state since he assumed office in 2020, accusing his political opponents and people from outside the state for instigating and perpetrating killings, mostly, members of his political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). He said: “I pray that the state will not experience, in 2023, what it went through in 2021 and 2022.

“75 per cent of those caught in insecurity are not from the state.”
