The Honourable Commissioner for Information, Public Orientation and Strategy, Hon. Declan Emelumba, has pledged to ensure that grassroots communities are actively engaged and well-informed about government activities and initiatives in Imo State.

During the interaction, the Commissioner called for effective collaboration between the Ministry and the association to ensure that credible and timely information about government policies, programs, and projects reaches the grassroots.

He further promised to support the association by facilitating the publication of their activities through any of the government-owned media platforms. According to him, showcasing the achievements of LGA Chairmen also serves to highlight the broader developmental strides of the state government at the local level.

The Commissioner also distributed copies of a brochure detailing the State Government’s four-year achievements, encouraging the members to use it as a tool to enlighten those unaware of the government’s efforts and progress.

In a remarks, Comr. Solomon C.J.

He commended the Commissioner for his dedication to public communication and appealed for his appointment as Patron of the Association.

Also speaking, Amb. Clinton Nnadi, State Secretary of the association, representing Mbaitoli LGA, appreciated Hon. Emelumba for being the first top government official the association has visited since its formation. He reaffirmed the group's commitment to promoting government programs and urged the Ministry to always carry the association along in its dissemination efforts.

Amb. Clinton also revealed that the association intends to engage in interactive sessions with LGA Chairmen and conduct sensitization campaigns, especially among market women and rural communities, to ensure wider awareness of government development initiatives.

Other members of the delegation included:

  • Hon. Macharles Ndukaihe (Oru West LGA) – State Director of Public Relations
