As a Government, we have recognized three New Autonomous Communities in the State and accordingly, presented Staff-of-Office to their Traditional Rulers.
Present at the ceremony were the Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prof. Placid Njoku, the Speaker Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Chiji Collins, the Chief of Staff, Barr. Nnamdi Anyaehie, members of the State Executive Council, Town Union Executives of the three Autonomous Communities, and some distinguished Imo citizens.
