Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo state has commended an illustrious son of the state, Prince Alex Mbata for his magnanimity in constructing a 2km road in Owerri, the state capial, inorder to support the state government.

Senator Uzodimma gave the commendation on Thursday at the commissioning of the road.

The governor who was represented by his deputy, Prof Placid Njoku appealed to other well-meaning Imolites to toe the path of Prince Mbata by supporting the efforts of the state government.

He stated that Imo is the fastest growing state in the federation in all spheres of development, saying that very soon, Imo will be a tourist attraction for education and medical treatments.

Governor Uzodimma described the road project built by the philanthropist as people oriented, designed to ameliorate the sufferings of the people of the area.

In his speech, the Speaker, Imo state House of Assembly, Rt Hon Paul Emeziem thanked both the governor and Prince Mbata for building quality roads that will last for at least,40 years.

Also speaking, Chief Martin Agbaso,( Ochudo) advised Imolites to bring their investments home like Prince Mbata.

He added that Prince Mbata has constructed many roads in his village, Nkwoma, Owerri North Local Government of Imo State and prayed God to replenish his resources.

Adding their voices, former speaker, Imo state House of Assembly, Rt Hon Godfrey Dikeocha, Chief Henry Njoku ( Harritex), Lady Chidimma Oparaocha commended Prince Mbata for what they described as unmatched magnanimity.

Austin Nwachukwu, a landlord in the area effusively thanked Prince Mbata for bringing hope to the hopeless, describing the road before it was constructed by Mbata as a dungeon and dead trap to the residents of the area.

In his remarks, the philanthropist, Prince Mbata told Imolites that the propelling factor was the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to relieve residents of the area from hardship occasioned by deplorable condition of the road for more than three decades.

He added that the governor's good spirit of building federal roads namely Owerri-Orlu; Owerri-Okigwe further gave him the courage to complement his efforts.

Prince Mbata equally disclosed that he is tempted to name the road Grace and Mercy Road but would not.

According to him, " I am representing my company of which I am the CEO in building the road.

He further disclosed that his company, ABM Global will soon provide 2,000 Jobs to the teeming unemployed graduates of the state in order to reduce restiveness among the youths.

God bless you sir.

People wey get money dey abeg.

They don't shout.

See road like Craneburg handwork - e neat.

These ones, they don't post bundles of money on Instagram. They don't parade benzes and champagne.

They're simply rich and not pretending to wealth.

Your pocket no go dry, sir.

Igbo amaka pro max

Igbos get money chai
In no time, the East will be the only region that foreigners will want to visit

Nice

I remember he donated 20million to Imo during the lock down

Lemme go and start my own in my village

If its roachas, grass will be growing out of asphalt road

We keep building our roads in the East.., we put up our power lines and transformers, then the power company comes to take over.
Schools, markets.. In my hometown, those of us staying outside the country just renovated the community hospital...., The hospital was built in the 80s by the then richest son of the town! He also erected the first community borehole for peasant villagers.. No sight of government whatsoever!

Meanwhile, Elsewhere in the north, the government does everything, including monthly sharing of local governments allocations to few citizens of all the sparsely populated LGAs! I have never seen a picture or video of a "launching ceremony" for community roads, power projects or water works taken in the villages of the north or western Nigeria. PTF under Buhari renovated almost all primary and secondary schools in the North during Abacha days.
Yet we are supposed to be the same country men!

I think it's about time Igbos start vigorously and chaotically grabbing what should be theirs in Nigeria. They will come here to praise you for doing the jobs of the government but still will be the first to attack you when you demand that the government works for all... Is that not the height of mischief?

I always, I mean, always like thier spirit....the Igbo spirit

Well done Sir

It's only in Nigeria that individuals do the work of govt for them.
Only in naija

this is duplication of government function, we don't need this under this current government. Buhari can fix all our roads and he is doing just that. in Buhari I stand.

Cool.

Relationship built on lies won't last long . A Relationship built on truth is not even going to start�

Politics loading.

So he spent a little part of monies he's made from the state to make a political point.

Someone has an ambition. Watch out. He'll show his true colours soon.

Could this be thesame road that youngman celebrated his honeymoon with his wife that went viral?
