365Daily – President Mohammadu Buhari has arrived Owerri, the Imo State capital, for the inauguration of some “signature projects” executed by Governor Hope Uzodimma.
The president’s plane landed at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri at 10:46am on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, and the Governor, alongside some top state government functionaries, were on ground to receive him and his entourage.
Also at the airport to receive the president were some top security personnel and chieftains of the ruling-All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state and South-East zone.
On arrival, the president inspected a Guard of Honour mounted by the Nigerian Armed Forces before being treated to a cultural performance by the Omenaimo Cultural Troupe from the Imo State Council of Arts and Culture.
Buhari is expected to inaugurate the reconstructed 35-km Orlu-Owerri dual carriageway and 48-km Owerri-Okigwe dual carriageway as well as the renovated House of Assembly complex, among other projects.
In 2021, the president was also in the state and inaugurated some of the Governor’s projects.
