State on Monday met behind closed doors with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, where he solicited for presidential intervention in the infrastructure deficiencies in his state.

Mr Ihedioha, who spoke with State House Correspondents at the end of the meeting, said that he discussed the issue of agriculture and how the state could benefit from the Federal Government’s agricultural intervention programmes.

According to him, Imo needs the federal government’s support in all facets of the economy.

He said: “The federal government needs to support us in agriculture because the government we succeeded didn’t take advantage of government policies in agriculture.
