Chief Leo Stan Ekeh, Founder of Zinox Technologies, delivered a powerful charge to attendees on the final day of the 2025 Imo Economic Summit, calling on citizens to prioritise unity, responsible investment, and technology as the core pillars for the state’s prosperity.
“The future wealth is in technology,” declared Chief Ekeh, urging a fundamental shift in investment strategy toward innovation.
The core of his message was a demand for responsible citizenship. He minced no words: “For Imolites, we must work together and support our state. Stop demarketing Imo State.”
He advised those with issues with the state government to seek direct resolution with the Governor, not public criticism.
Ekeh linked legacy to local investment, dismissing wealthy individuals from Imo who neglect their homeland as lacking purpose.
Demonstrating his personal commitment, he announced a significant N5billion investment in educational institutions for 2026. This initiative, he explained, is designed to identify and groom smart, poor children, stressing the need to build the next generation of billionaires.
He concluded by pledging his full backing to the state’s leadership, maintaining that his support is purely non-political and focused on collective progress.
