IMSSBN Strong Economic Bridge Builder – Says Imo Deputy Speaker, Iwuanyanwu 

He noted that the IMSSBN Phase 2 enrollment exercise, which will last for one week, is a product of social awareness, development and benefit inclusiveness that is imbedded in Imo Digital Economy Agenda, adding that it enhances access to health insurance, access to soft loans, access to welfare funds and other social welfare benefits in the State.

Iwuanyanwu, who made the call while speaking to Journalists over the weekend in Owerri, pointed out that Governor Hope Uzodimma has good intentions for Imo people, adding that Imo State Government led by Governor Hope Uzodimma is developing an eSocial Welfare Register, which will serve as a repository of potential beneficiaries of multiple social assistive-based programs for all Imo people.

The Imo State Deputy Speaker, who described the Scheme as an economic Bridge Builder, however, insisted that it is also a sustainable enhancer in generating economic and social benefits that are programmed for the interest of the people of Imo State irrespective of political affiliations.

He maintained that the IMSSBN has  multiple benefits for Imo State Indigenes and non indigenes, noting that the Imo State Social Security Benefit Number when issued, will serve as unique identifier of Imolites.

Iwuanyanwu, who is the Honourable Member representing Nwangele State Constituency, however, argued that the enrollment has no political undertones as it is purely for the sole social benefits of all Imo people.

According to him, “I sincerely want to appeal to all Imolites who are yet to enroll on the ongoing Imo State Social Security Benefit Number (IMSSBN) to do so. This unique eSocial Identification number will be required in many Government and non government activities in Imo State. This important futuristic identification number has nothing to do with November 11th Governorship election or any political connotation. It is just for the easy identification of Imolites for future benefits”.

Rt. Hon. Iwuanyawu further used the opportunity to charge Imo people not to allow anyone deceive them, stressing that the Importance of IMSSBN is much.

“If you are a resident of Imo State or indigene and do not have your IMSSBN, then you are wrong. The enrollment exercise will take off across all 4,758 Polling Units in Imo State. I humbly appeal to Imo people not to take this enrollment exercise for granted because a lot will be attached to this number in future in Imo State” Rt. Hon Iwuanyawu concluded.
