Gov Uzodimma Pledges Support For City Boy Movement

Imo State governor, Hope Uzodimma, has assured members of the City Boy Movement of his commitment for the actualisation of the aims and objectives of the group.

The governor pledged the support at the Government House, Owerri, when members of the City Boy Movement paid him a courtesy visit.

The movement is a support group for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu that educates the Nigerian masses and beyond on the efforts of the president in governance.

It also mobilises and empowers thousands of Nigerian youths on self-sustenance and entrepreneurship.

The governor, represented by the deputy governor, Lady Chinyere Ihuoma Ekomaru, noted that the group is doing an amazing job which is consistent with ideologies and programmes of the ‘Shared Prosperity Administration’ in the state.

While highlighting the achievements of the state government, especially in the area of talent hunt, youth training, empowerment and engagement, the governor informed that many Imo youths were willing to join the organisation, asking that they should be well accommodated.

He thanked the group for coming to empower thousands of Imo youths, noting that it is a testament that the state is truly and strongly connected to the centre.

He commended President Tinubu for the various renewed hope initiatives, providing direct impacts to the people and strengthening the nation’s economy.

The governor also appreciated the son of the president, Seyi Tinubu, for the wonderful initiative, mobilising fellow youths and empowering them.

He, however, challenged the group to preach peace and unity as they go about their activities across the country.

The group’s national president, Dr Francis Tosin, informed the governor that City Boy Movement is on ‘Renewed Hope Tour in Imo state to bring more Imo on board their moving train.” He further stated that they came to seek approval and support from the governor to enable their empowerment exercise in the state, holding this weekend, targeted at empowering about 7,000 Imo youths.

Dr Tosin hailed the giant strides of Governor Hope Uzodimma in Imo State and his enviable posture at the national scene, especially his leadership of the Progressive Governors’ Forum.
