Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha


Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has come under heavy attacks for constructing ‘shoddy’ roads in the state.

The national coordinator of Imo Believe Initiative for Social Justice, Okey Aduradu, in a statement, yesterday, called on the governor to make public, the details of contractors handling road projects in the state.

The group alleged that “standard procurement procedures are not followed in the award and execution of road contracts. Information about the contractors are shrouded in secrecy.”

The statement added that, “in the area of infrastructure, the government did not change nor improve on the quality of poorly constructed and unfinished works it has littered in the state.‎

”We saw roads getting damaged while under construction. Newly constructed roads are damaging while under construction and newly constructed road tunnels turning to water tunnel.

“The Christmas decorations and carnival, where millions of naira were spent on jamboree attest to this. By our assessment, we declare that the state government has performed abysmally on its mandate of providing good governance to Imo people.”
