Governor Hope Uzodinma announces:
Whether in Orlu Zone, Okigwe Zone, or Owerri Zone, the mission of opening up Imo State for robust commercial activity is one we are pursuing with a holistic and unified approach. No part of our dear State will be left behind in this journey toward economic renewal
In that spirit, we have just completed the dualisation of the 13.5-kilometre Mgbidi–Omuma–Okporo Road—a key arterial route now reimagined as a modern dual carriageway. Equipped with drainage infrastructure and solar-powered street lighting, this road not only enhances vehicular mobility but also reinstates safety, visibility, and round-the-clock access.
The result is a clear revival of commercial life along this route. Traders, transporters, and residents alike are now experiencing the economic ripple effects – new opportunities, growing markets, and a brighter outlook for local enterprise.
