Imo state governor Rochas Okorocha has announced the closure
of all markets in the state from 2pm for one week starting from the May 6 to 13,
2014. This is to enable the people of the state participate fully in the 2014
Imo Carnival, which also holds in the same days. Governor Rochas Okorocha
disclosed that the event would feature youths, children/free education parade,
command performance, contemporary music, up-coming stars and night of
laughter/comedies.
He explained that the essence of the carnival was to
showcase the rich cultural heritage of Imo state to the outside world and
enjoined all entertainers to gear up for the programme. He said the programme
would attract tourists from far and near thereby boosting the economy of the
state.
Okorocha promised that his administration would support the
carnival to ensure that the state has other sources of revenue rather than
depend solely on federal allocation.
He noted that the 5000 capacity International Conference
centre in Owerri is one of the most important tourist attractions in the state,
and called on Imolites to participate at the forth-coming epoch-making event
aimed at bringing Imo to the limelight.
