Concerned over the growth and development of the Imo State owned Transport Company, ITC, a former Staff of the establishment, now retired, Mr. Nwogu Obinna Alozie, has eulogized the appointment of Hon Uche Obiozor as the General Manager of ITC.
He went further to express his satisfaction with Obiozor ‘s transformative agendas which have elevated the ITC to enviable heights above what it used to be.
Also, he commended Governor Hope Uzodimma for his eagle eyes in dictating the Administrative and Leadership potentials in Hon. Uche Obiozor and appointed him the GM of the State owned transport company.
In a media statement released to newsmen in Owerri, last weekend by Mr. Nwogu Obinna Alozie, he said, Obiozor is on a cause for the recovery of ITC.
According to the Senior Citizen who served ITC meritoriously as a Staff, the appointment of Hon Uche Obiozor as the General Manager of ITC could be likened as a square peg on a square hole.
Full text of his briefing reads, “36 years after its establishment in 1988, the company had continued to crawl and could not run due to wrong choices of the past State Governments in appointing Committees and inexperienced persons to oversee and run the company particularly between 2011 and 2019.
“A million thanks to His Excellency, the Governor of Imo State Distinguished Senator Hope O. Uzodinma who wisely appointed Hon. Uche Obiozor in 2024 to run the affairs of the company as the General Manager and who some well-meaning ITC staff both present and past have described as a “square peg on a square hole.”
“Prior to his appointment, ITC was run aground by the past Managements, and within those period, ITC only existed in name not in real operations and service to the public but today, a lot of positive changes have taken place. It is no longer business as usual and beneficiaries of the old corrupt system are the major critics of Obiozor’s style of Management and Administration.
“Discipline, financial transparency and credibility, accountability, productivity, due process and peace have been restored and are being rewarded and recognized by the Obiozor’s Administration.
“It is obvious that in the process of righting wrongs, some toes will be stepped upon but what is important and paramount is the future of the company which Hon. Obiozor is working assiduously to protect”.
Mr. Nwogu Obinna Alozie reiterated, “This is also aimed at appreciating our Governor for the wisdom in appointing the current General Manager and to encourage the new General Manager to remain focused and recover ITC in the spirit of the 3R Agenda of the State Administration.
Future will certainly vindicate him”, he submitted.
It would be recalled that under Obiozor’s Management, the workers’ welfare has been a top priority matched with positive results.
Similarly, new vehicles were purchased, and all dormant and active branches nationwide reinvigorated for optimal functionality.
Also recall that through Hon Uche Obiozor’s doggedness, the ITC Franchise owners association conducted her election, fourteen years after no substantive leadership.
