Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has appointed himself as the Commissioner for Lands in the state.
He made the announcement on Tuesday during the inauguration of 24 newly-appointed commissioners at the Government House in Owerri.
According to him, the self-appointment is a measure to prevent a repeat of past incidents, citing the example of a previous commissioner who was embroiled in controversial land deals towards the end of his first tenure.
