In a recent development, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has taken on the role of Commissioner for Lands within the state.
This significant decision was officially disclosed during the induction ceremony for 24 newly selected commissioners held at the Government House in Owerri on Tuesday.
Uzodimma emphasized that his decision to appoint himself is a precautionary step aimed at preventing a recurrence of past controversies, as he referenced a previous commissioner who was involved in contentious land transactions towards the conclusion of their initial term in office.
