Governor Uzodimma: Nigeria’s Brightest Days Lie Ahead
Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has expressed optimism about Nigeria’s future, asserting that the nation’s brightest days are yet to come. Speaking during an Independence Day Church Service at Maria Assumpta Cathedral, Owerri, Governor Uzodimma called on Nigerians to offer prayers for the country and its leaders. He urged citizens to focus on hope, unity, and faith, rather than lamenting over past shortcomings.

The Archbishop commended Governor Uzodimma’s administration for its efforts in maintaining peace, addressing insecurity, and promoting infrastructural development.
