Former member of the House of Representatives and current Governing Council member of the African Aviation and Aerospace University, Abuja, Hon. Chidi Nwogu, has congratulated the Executive Governor of Imo State, His Excellency Senator Hope Uzodimma (Onwa) GCON, and the entire people of Imo State on the successful hosting of the maiden Imo State Economic and Investment Summit — one of the most significant and high-profile events in the history of the state.
In a statement personally signed by him, Hon. Nwogu described the summit, themed “Unlocking Imo Economic Potentials: Partnership for Investment,” as a landmark achievement made possible through exceptional planning, coordination, and execution. He noted that the world-class event attracted an enviable lineup of distinguished participants from across Nigeria, Africa, and beyond.
The summit featured the Vice President of Nigeria, His Excellency Senator Kashim Shettima, who represented the President, alongside an impressive delegation of governors, senators, ministers, and notable traditional and spiritual leaders from across the country.
Also in attendance were several internationally acclaimed personalities, including the President of Liberia and keynote speaker, His Excellency Joseph Boakai; former President of Afreximbank, Prof. Benedict Okey Oramah; former British Prime Minister, Mr. Boris Johnson; former United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon; and former President of Mauritius, Her Excellency Dr. Ameenah Gurib-Fakim.
The summit further attracted top-tier investors and captains of industry, led by Africa’s richest man and Chairman of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, as well as numerous CEOs from the banking and financial sector who expressed strong interest in supporting Imo State’s emerging investment opportunities.
Hon. Nwogu expressed confidence that the “positive domino effect” of the summit would soon become evident across Imo State as its far-reaching developmental outcomes begin to unfold.
He prayed for God’s continued guidance for Governor Uzodimma, asking that the Almighty grant him the wisdom and strength needed to translate the vision and outcomes of the summit into tangible growth and prosperity for the state.
He concluded with prayers for the peace and progress of both Imo State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
