Imo State House of Assembly has urged Governor Hope Uzodimma to dissolve all boards of parastatals and agencies, extra-ministerial departments and commissions, including coordinators of local government development centres.
Moving the motion under Urgent Public Importance, the Deputy Speaker and member representing Nwangele State Constituency, Sir Amara Iwuanyanwu, said Governor Uzodimma, who has been inaugurated for his second tenure, needs a rejigged team for enhanced productivity.
The governor had dissolved his expanded Executive Council (Exco), former sole administrators and other strategic appointees.
The lawmaker said there was need to inject fresh and innovative ideas into the governor’s new administration.

He said because the governor needs fresh air to consolidate the gains of the Shared Prosperity Administration, all boards of parastatals and agencies, extra-ministerial departments and commissions, including coordinators of local government development centres should be dissolved, while reappointing those who did very well and at the same time, injecting fresh and innovative ideas into the system, to take the state to the next level.
Worried that if round pegs were not put in round holes, the governor’s vision, blueprint and consolidated development agenda for his second tenure in the state might not be achieved, the legislator called on his colleagues to support the all-important motion.
The motion, which was seconded by a member representing Oru-west State Constituency, Dominic Ezerioha, was supported by 10 members.
In their submissions, they agreed that there should be room for fresh ideas, while reabsorbing only efficient and effective ones.
They insisted that Renewed Hope is for the betterment of Ndigbo.
The Speaker, Chike Olemgbe, put it to vote and it was overwhelmingly endorsed.
The House adjourned sitting till today.
