In supporting the re-election bid of the governor, the student body donated campaign materials to Uzodinma among which is 10, 000 pieces of 60 leaves exercise books, 5,000 pieces of Tee Shirts and 5,000 pieces of campaign billboards to be mounted across the state including on the buses operated by the students.

In his response, Gov. Hope Uzodinma thanked the entire Nigerian students for coming together to honor and support him while promising that he will continue to do things that will uplift the wellbeing of the Nigerian students which he identified as the generality of the Nigerian people.

According to him “You represent the citadel of growth; if you’re not strong we will never be strong and when you’re properly educated it means you are going to be a successful person in the society”

Uzodinma used the opportunity to remind the students that he is doing everything within his legitimate power to get the youths properly employed as he announced that in few days time, 15,000 youths mostly members of the Nigerian students will be graduated from the free digital skills which the state government is sponsoring.
