Uzodinma also thanked the president over the recent conversion of the Federal Medical Centre Owerri to a University Teaching Hospital for the Federal University of Technology, and Alvan Ikoku College of Education to a Federal College of Education.

“Only two weeks ago, Igbos that came home from Lagos and outside the South-East enjoyed the benefit of the Second Niger Bridge, something that is worthy of commendation.

“I also appealed to him to support us with some technological deployments. We had planned to do an advanced kind of security control in the South-East and he had also given his approval to that.

”And in a moment from now, we’ll be getting some surveillance equipment and some modern technologies that would help us manage security so that we can fight crime with little or no collateral damage to the environment.”
