Governor Uzodimma, despite a heavy downpour, inaugurated the distribution with an inclusive approach that caters to all segments of Imo society. He affirmed, “Imo State has received her share. Out of the N4 billion, N2 billion has been allocated to Imo State.”

Governor Uzodimma’s statement conveyed, “We remember the period when the fuel subsidy was eliminated, resulting in temporary hardships.

This policy was a significant step taken by the government to safeguard our economy from potential collapse. Although it initially brought about certain challenges such as increased living costs and poverty, the Federal Government promptly introduced measures to mitigate these adverse effects.

Working in collaboration with State governments, the Federal Government has introduced numerous actions to alleviate the situation. Recently, the Federal Government extended financial assistance, termed fiscal support, to all States.”
