The Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodimma, has called on Christians, particularly women, to remain steadfast in prayers for the continued development, peace, and prosperity of Imo State.
The governor made the appeal at the 2026 Ideato Women’s Conference of the Diocese of Ideato, Anglican Communion, held at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Ndiawa, Arondizuogu, Ideato North LGA.
The governor was represented by the Deputy Governor, Lady Dr. Chinyere Ekomaru.
On behalf of the Governor, the deputy governor commended the women for the conference theme, “Jehovah Nissi: The Lord Our Banner,” and emphasised the crucial role of mothers in raising responsible children and instilling moral values in society.
She urged parents not to relent in their responsibilities, noting that the family remains the foundation for building a better society.
