numerous advantages of the Charter of Equity towards the socio-political enhancement of the state.
According to Chief Onyeneke, public advocacy and engagement will be used to enable the populace to assimilate the full contents of the Charter in the various communities.
The Special Adviser commended Imo Elders and Leaders for playing a prominent role in the adoption of the Charter as a deliberate effort to further enhance unity,oneness, brotherliness, and progress.
