Mr Ibeh, in a statement on Sunday, described the award as well deserved following the governor’s track record within the year under review.
The speaker said in spite of the security challenges in the country, the governor delivered excellent governance in 2021.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Governor Uzodimma was on Saturday confered with the award in Lagos.
“It is gratifying to note that after painstaking scrutiny of all the nominees for the 2021 Sun Award ceremony which held on May 7, 2022, in Lagos, you were found worthy to be bestowed with the prestigious award,” the lawmaker said.
“The award did not come to us as a surprise because your exemplary and pragmatic leadership style has placed Imo as a leading light despite the security challenges facing the country.
“We commend The Sun Newspapers for their objective and sincere assessment in honouring our dear Governor Hope Uzodimma, a man who has consistently continued to improve all the sectors of the state economy.
