Relentless Reformer: Hon. Emeka Okoronkwo Tightens the Screws on Imo’s Transport Sector with Dual Leadership Overhauls …..as ICT and ISTOA gets new excos
By Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, May 15, 2025.
In a clear demonstration of his workaholic drive to sanitize and restructure the transport sector in Imo State, the Honourable Commissioner for Transport, Hon. Emeka Okoronkwo, has, within days, overseen the election and inauguration of two key transport leadership bodies—Imo State Tricycle Operators Association (ISTOA) and Imo City Transport (ICT).
The whirlwind of reforms kicked off with the successful election of a new executive committee for ISTOA, a move aligning with the Shared Prosperity agenda of Governor Hope Uzodimma. Hon. Okoronkwo received the new leaders at the Ministry of Transport headquarters in Owerri, charging them to uphold discipline, unity, and operational accountability. He emphasized that structured leadership remains the backbone of a functional transport ecosystem and reiterated the Ministry’s support—so long as stakeholders stay aligned with government regulations.
Barely catching his breath, the indefatigable Commissioner went on to inaugurate the executives of Imo City Transport (ICT), appointing a new leadership team and tasking them with restoring excellence, integrity, and order within the city’s urban mobility structure.
During both engagements, Hon. Okoronkwo echoed the guiding principles of Governor Uzodimma’s administration—transparency, order, and people-centered governance—and called on the transport leaders to drive change from within their respective domains. He reassured them of the Ministry’s unwavering support in achieving a more accountable and effective transport system.
The back-to-back engagements not only reflect Hon. Okoronkwo’s no-nonsense approach to sectoral reform but also reaffirm his commitment to Governor Uzodimma’s vision of a well-regulated, stakeholder-driven transport network in Imo State.
With newly elected and inaugurated leaderships in place, both ISTOA and ICT now bear a renewed mandate: to work in sync with the Ministry, enforce discipline, and contribute meaningfully to the development of Imo’s transport infrastructure. Hon. Okoronkwo’s hands-on leadership continues to set the pace for sustainable reform—one executive team at a time.
