Excitement as Uzodinma doles out cars to Permanent Secretaries in Imo State

Governor Hope Uzodinma Tuesday distributed brand new vehicles to Permanent Secretaries (PSs) in Imo State in fulfillment of his pledge to restore the morale of Civil Servants during his visit to the Secretariat a few days ago.

Governor Uzodinma, while delivering the cars at the Government House said “this is a new dawn, a new chapter and a new Imo” that he promised.

He noted that the gesture is 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 (eighteen) brand new salon vehicles to the Head of Service, Camilus Iwuagwu.

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

The Governor further stated that plans are in top gear for a Staff Transit programme for junior Civil Servants at subsidised cost for ease of transportation.
