Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has called on Nigerians to embrace a change of attitude as the country prepares to mark its 65th Independence Anniversary.
Speaking on Sunday, September 28, 2025, during the interdenominational thanksgiving service at the Government House Chapel, Owerri, Uzodimma said the anniversary offers citizens an opportunity to reflect on the past and adopt new approaches for national progress.
He stressed the need to harness the nation’s abundant natural resources productively to drive economic recovery and improve livelihoods.
“Nigeria is richly blessed with natural resources yearning for productive utilization for economic recovery and livelihood. We must sit back and review our situation, understand where we are coming from, where we are, and agree on where we are going,” he said.
The governor emphasized that “a lot of things must change, particularly our own way of doing things,” warning against idleness. “An idle mind is the devil’s workshop. A busy mind is a productive mind,” he added.
Uzodimma also announced that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will visit Imo State on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, to commission the Owerri-Mbaise-Umuahia road, the new twin flyover at Assumpta Roundabout, and the Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Conference Centre (EIIC).
He urged residents to turn out in large numbers to welcome the President and his entourage.
Earlier in his homily, Monsignor John Iwe, representing Bishop Solomon Amatu of Okigwe Diocese, urged Nigerians and their leaders to show compassion to the vulnerable, stressing that true love for God is demonstrated through love for one’s neighbour.
