This, he stressed was being influenced by the personality of the in-coming District Governor, Rotarian Onukwugha who he described as a wonderful humanitarian who had served in virtually all the major committees and retired as a district trainer.
He stated that rotary investiture was an annual event usually organized by every district to herald the unveiling of new District Governor and that it usually provided opportunity for the promotion of acquaintances among clubs and Rotarians which is one of the core values of rotary as a humanitarian organization.

Rotarian Imomoh equally disclosed that twelve hotels and Nigerian Breweries as well as Abuja Chamber of Commerce were partnering with the district and stressed that the post investiture party would be fun filled with cultural troupes from Imo State and Abuja Cultural Centre expected to trill the delegates at M&M Events Centre.
