Except Governor Hope Uzodinma intervenes to settle the rift, ministries, parastatals, and government agencies in Imo State will continue to drag over who occupies certain offices in the state.
Reports making rounds indicate that it has become a fashion for various government units to be at each other’s jugular over office allocation in the State.
Apart from two ministries dragging a government office on Orlu Road, another ministry is also involved in a tug of war with a government agency concerning the premises of the Nigerian statesman printing press. Nigeria Statesman is owned by the Imo State government.

Our sources recall that part of the government complex on Egbu road houses ICAPS and Statesman printing press machines. Efforts to regain the printing press premises by Statesman Newspapers management which moved its corporate headquarters to Akanchawa Road, in New Owerri, have proved abortive as individuals, private and corporate persons have taken possession of the premises.
Our correspondent who was at the premises noticed unidentified faces and people not related to government work milling around, while others are residents, thereby endangering some of the machines of the state and newspaper.
