Governor Hope Uzodimma has called on local and international investors to take advantage of emerging business opportunities in Imo State, citing ongoing infrastructure development, investor-friendly policies, and reforms aimed at driving industrial growth.
Speaking at Invest Lagos 3.0, Uzodimma said his administration has positioned Imo as a leading destination for investment by creating an environment where businesses can source raw materials, process them, and market finished products entirely within the state.
The governor noted that access to Imo has significantly improved through ongoing road construction projects, the upgrade of the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, and the dredging of the Orashi River to enhance maritime connectivity.
He further highlighted key incentives under the state’s Industrial Policy Framework, including a 10-year tax holiday for startups and the elimination of multiple taxation, measures designed to attract and retain investors.
Uzodimma also disclosed that through the Orashi Electricity Company, Imo now generates, transmits, and distributes electricity, providing 24-hour power supply within the municipal city while expanding coverage to other parts of the state.
Reaffirming his administration’s commitment to economic growth, the governor invited investors, industry leaders, and development partners to explore the vast opportunities available in Imo State, assuring them of a stable and business-friendly environment.
