Orlu would be one of the new states




The Imo State government has commenced the demolition of structures within ten metres radius of the main roads in Orlu local government.

Governor Rochas Okorocha told stakeholders in the area while explaining the essence of the demolition that Orlu would be one of the new states to be created by the federal government.

He added that the criteria for becoming a new state included the presence of good roads and other facilities.

Okorocha said the Orlu local government would be the capital territory of the new state if created, adding that “he is committed to making the ambition realisable.”

The governor promised to create a double lane out major roads in Orlu main town to entice the federal government during its consideration of state creation.

He, however, pleaded with the victims of the demolition to be patient and promised to make alternative arrangements for them.
