France Ambassador to Nigeria, Dengs Gauer, paid a visit to Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, at the Imo State Governors Lodge in Abuja yesterday October 24th.
The visit comes few weeks after South African president Jacob Zuma and the American Ambassador to Nigeria paid visits to Governor Okorocha.
Part of a statement released by the state government on its Facebook page reads; ‘It is worthy to note that the Rochas Foundation for Africa located in Imo State has placed the state on the international radar. These efforts of Okorocha are development opportunities. In the history of this country, no sitting Governor has been able to bring a sitting President to their State.
Under Governor Okorocha’s administration, Imo State has witnessed the visits of 2 sitting Presidents. This is a commendable move that is way beyond politics.
The Governor has shown serious leadership capacity and these are huge pluses on his credentials. It is an initiative that will stand the test of time and attract economic growth to Imo State’.
