The Imo Believe Initiative for Social Justice has said that the State Government under Governor Rochas Okorocha performed abysmally and failed in providing good governance to the people of the state.
The group’s coordinator, Mr. Okey Aduradu said this in his new year message delivered yesterday to newsmen in Owerri.
The group alleged in the release that “standard procurement procedures are not followed in the award and execution of road contracts”.
It also said that information about contractors are shrouded in secrecy. Aduradu urged Mr. Okorocha to make public, the details of contractors handling road projects in the state.
The new year message also stated 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 group also noted that while other states were implementing policies to reduce the suffering of their people, Imo State government kept wasting scarce resources on trivial things.
“The Christmas decorations and carnival, where millions of naira is 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.”
