Imo LG Elections: Okorocha Swears In Newly Elected Chairmen

 

The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has sworn in the newly elected local government chairmen in the state.

At the swearing-in ceremony which took place at the Government House in Owerri on Monday, the governor charged the new chairmen to ensure that they commit themselves to meaningful projects and programmes in their respective communities at the grassroots.
