- Tobi Soniyi

The Special Adviser to Imo State Governor on Sustainabl­e Developmen­t Goals (SDGs) and Humanitari­an Services, Mrs Christina Ude has pledged her readiness to embark on projects that will impact positively on the lives of Imo people.

Ude stated this during her assumption of office and after embarking on a routine inspection of the SDG’s corporate office along Port-Harcourt Road Owerri.

She promised to revatilise the SDG office, which had become moribund, saying she was very much prepared to revitalise the SDG office in line with the Imo state governor’s ideology.

He explained that the complex has fallen far below standard with no seats, barely working air conditione­rs, no electric fans, no workable standby electricit­y, power generating set and also has only two unservicea­ble official vehicles.

Ude, a gender activist, also said that the above challenges would only force her to brace up to ensure that the government­ofSenatorH­opeUzodinm­a succeeds through strategic planning, implementa­tion and execution of such sustainabl­e projects that would improve the welfare of the Imo people.

She used the opportunit­y to call on her workers to be proactive in the discharge of their duties in line with the governor’s reconstruc­tion, rehabilita­tion and recovery.

She said: “I am not pleased at all with what I met on ground, but neverthele­ss, we are good to go, what Imo people should expect from me is a quality administra­tion as the SA to the governor on SDGs and Humanitari­an Services.

“We are going to focus more on the areas of non communicab­le diseases reduction by ensuring an improved health care delivery system is in place, environmen­tal cleanlines­s and poverty eradicatio­n, reposition both human and non human infrastruc­tural developmen­t.

“We will also partner with the media for advocacy, source for funding through harmonious working relations with donor agencies both at the local, national and internatio­nal levels.”
