The Commissioner  recalled that since the creation of Imo state, there has never been an occasion where those who excelled both in the public or private sector were deliberately identified and publicly rewarded.

He posited that this omission resulted in dampened productivity zeal adding that the 2022 Imo state Productivity Merit Award is targeted at redressing this.

On the program of events,he assured that maximum security has been put in place and expressed confidence that both awardees and guests will derive the best comfort and joy in a convivial environment.

Prince  Ozumba also disclosed that top notch entertainers have been engaged to spice up the program.

He announced that the Awards are in three categories: Platinum, Diamond and Gold.

He expressed deep appreciation to the Governor for the unwavering support his ministry has been receiving from him which has made the Productivity index of the state to be on a steady rise.

The Commissioner thanked all those who in one way or the other sponsored and supported the program.

He also congratulated the awardees for scaling the hurdles of screening.
