Governor Uzodimma has donated N10 million to the Anglican Diocese of Egbu, near Owerri, Imo State capital.
Represented by his Special Adviser on Religious Affairs, Revd. Chidi Nwanebu, at the Second Session of the ninth Synod of the diocese held at the weekend, the governor appealed to the clergy and laity to pray fervently for the government and people of Imo to overcome the challenges bedevilling them.
The event was held at St. John’s Anglican Church, Naze, Owerri North Local Council.
Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser to the Governor, Oguwike Nwachuku, accompanied the governor’s delegate, who said: “Governors will come and go, problems will come and go, but Imo State will remain.”
Uzodimma promised to leave the state better than he met it, pledging to continue with the construction of roads.
In his reaction, the Bishop of the Diocese, Geoffrey Okoroafor, commended the governor for his interest in the things of God and the kind donation. (Guardian)
