delivered the cars at the Government House, Owerri.

While giving out the car keys, the governor said,  “This is a new dawn, a new chapter and a new Imo that I promised.”

He pointed out that the gesture was in line with his promise to motivate the civil servants by providing them with necessary tools to boost efficiency at work.

 The governor said, “The Permanent Secretaries who are the administrative heads are naturally the first beneficiaries of these programmes designed to motivate workers.” He then proceeded to hand over the keys of 18 brand new salon vehicles to the Head of Service, Dr. Camilus Iwuagwu.

Uzodinma, who restated his resolve to make Imo a model state, announced other incentives for workers including car loans and housing schemes.

The governor further stated that plans were in top gear for a Staff Transit programme for junior civil servants at subsidized cost for ease of transportation.

“The Secretary to the State Government will be liaising with the Head of Service to work out a staff transit programme for junior workers in the civil service. The programme will ensure that junior workers are picked from, and dropped at designated locations at subsidized cost”, he said.

Responding, the Head of Service, Dr. Camilus Iwuagwu, on behalf of the Body of Permanent Secretaries expressed appreciation to the governor and pledged to double their efforts towards realizing the ‘3R; mantra of Rehabilitation, Reconstruction and Recovery of the administration of Governor Uzodinma.

Iwuagwu reiterated his earlier pledge on behalf of the civil servants that increased productivity was necessary as government needed resources to meet the demands of the workers.

He promised that the workers would not only be loyal to the government, but work in tandem for the good of Imo State.
