The Imo State Expanded Executive Council has issued a 13-point communiqué highlighting the need for a coordinated inter agency cooperation that would ensure the success of the New Face of Imo Vision, the cardinal point of the state administration.

The communiqué which was issued at the end of a 3-day retreat held at the Amber Hotel, Tinapa, in Cross River State held also that the internally generated revenue of all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) should be promptly reported and remitted to the relevant government body.

The retreat also agreed that a more proactive approach to public information management be adopted for achieving effective buy-in of the policies and programmes of government especially at the grass roots level.

While insisting on positive leadership role by the executive council members, they agreed that for an effective service delivery in the public service, a positive attitudinal change should be adopted.

The communiqué emphasized that the MDAs must as a matter of fact ensure strict implementation of the governor’s directives according to specific timelines.

The retreat in its resolutions while congratulating the governor on his efforts to return certain schools to its original owners and the lifting of embargo on employment, admonished for the speedy realization of these policies by the relevant government agencies.

The communiqué listed areas of strength of the administration to include Maternal and Child Healthcare delivery, MDGs project implementation, security, IRROMA, commercial agriculture and food security, urban mass transportation and attracting Federal presence in Imo State, among others.

In expressing their appreciation for the conception of the retreat, they agreed that for proper planning, requisite data must be rendered timely to the ministry of Planning and Economic Development.

The retreat with the theme: Fast tracking Policy and Proper Implementation featured experts that discussed such topics: “Effective Public Service Delivery and Policy Implementation; energizing best practices,” “New Face of Imo Communications Strategy and Management and appraisal”, “Best Practices in the Management of government protocol, leadership and Effective in Policy implementation”, “Building inter-agency synergy to fast tract 2010 Programmes/Project completion” and so on.
