He said, “From the very beginning of this administration, we made it clear that our dream is to reconstruct, rehabilitate, and recover Imo State.

“And that it will not be a mere physical construction of infrastructure. What will be more important is equipping our people, especially our young people, with the tools, knowledge, and access they need to compete and thrive in a fast-changing world.

“The digital app we are launching today allows you to interface with the government without intermediaries, without delay, and without confusion.

“Through the app, you can verify land records, process your documentation, pay your taxes, track applications, and access other services.

“The issue of land racketeering or claiming government land as your own, or going to the bank to verify who the land owner is before loans are given, is over. All these can be done on your telephones and laptops from wherever you are.”
