Uzodimma, who disclosed this after a meeting with the SPDC chairman and managing director, Mr Osagie Okunbor in Abuja, said the planned return of the company followed a conducive and safer environment. 

A statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser, Oguwike Nwachuku, said that the planned return of Shell to Imo is one out of numerous efforts Governor Uzodimma had made recently to bring back companies that left the state either as a result of insecurity or liquidation based on debt overhang.
