OWERRI — Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has distributed 2,700 smartphones to Imo youths as part of activities marking the year’s Valentine’s Day celebration.
The smartphones were distributed at the ‘Hope for Imo’ Valentine Concert held in Owerri on Saturday. Two persons also got cars as gifts from the governor, and he also promised the recipients free airtime and data subscriptions.
The two brand new Greely cars were presented to Mr. Joshua Okeke from Orlu LGA and Miss Blessing Emekwe from Ikeduru LGA, who were winners in a lucky draw conducted at the venue of the programme.
The governor reinstated his commitment to youth empowerment through job creation and called on the youths to help fish out criminal elements disturbing the peace of the state.
He promised to replicate the gesture in the three senatorial zones of the state so that the technical empowerment would get to all the youths of the state.
“I have come to give the youths the opportunity to be part of government and governance, to stop unemployment by empowering the youths. My government belongs to you, it is your government.
“Imo youths and Imo people in general will in 18 more months see the magic on development,” he said.
The concert featured musical performances by popular artistes including Flavour and Chinyere Udoma.
Former Governor, Ikedi Ohakim, members of the Federal and State legislature, top government officials, and business moguls attended the concert.
