• Firm holds forum in Owerri Monday
GOVERNOR Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has faulted the United States’ (U.S.) recent report that listed Imo as one of the states riddled by security problems in the country.
In a statement in Owerri, the state capital, at the weekend, by the Commissioner for Information, Strategy, Culture and Tourism, Mr. Chinedu Offor, Okorocha said the U.S.’ claim was false.
He tasked the report to consider the legions of foreigners residing or doing business in different parts of the state, where they earn their living unhindered. And urging people to ignore the report, the statement said that “peace, safety and harmony” prevailed in the state.
Meanwhile, Addax Petroleum, towards stimulating interest in volunteer activities among Nigerian students, will today organise a motivational workshop for students in Imo State.
A statement by its media officer, Mr. Michael Owhoko, which was made available to The Guardian over the weekend, said the workshop entitled: “Volunteer Club Motivational Workshop for Students in Imo State” would hold at All Seasons Hotel, Owerri.
It added that it would afford the participants, who were chosen from different schools, exposure on the activities in motivational volunteerism in order to participate actively.
