Tinubu to commission hotels, flyover, learning centre
Among the projects scheduled for inauguration are the newly completed Imo Concorde Hilton Hotel, the Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Conference Centre, the Asumpta Flyover, and the Imo Digital Learning Centre.
The state government described these projects as part of a larger blueprint aimed at modernising infrastructure and boosting long-term development.
Governor Uzodinma has also made significant investments in the digital economy, introducing platforms such as MylmoApp, the Imo Digital City (IDCL), and the SkillUplmo Techosphere.
These initiatives are designed to position the state as a hub for technology-driven opportunities and global digital engagement.
According to official figures, more than 40,000 youths have already received training in advanced digital skills, moving many from dependency on political patronage to viable participation in global markets.
The Orashi Free Trade Zone, another key project under Uzodinma’s administration, has reportedly attracted over seven oil and gas companies.

The zone is expected to expand economic activity in Imo and contribute to the broader agenda of industrialisation and job creation being championed by the federal government.
Ahead of the president’s visit, the Imo government described the projects as evidence of the collaboration between the state and the federal authorities.
It said the initiatives mirror the national Renewed Hope Agenda by promoting infrastructure renewal, digital innovation, and sustainable development.
Ex-Buhari minister declares war on Tinubu
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the former minister of Sports and Youth Development, Solomon Dalung, had declared that the 2027 general elections would not just be another electoral cycle but a full-blown confrontation between the Nigerian people and the current administration under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking during a recent interview on News Central, Dalung voiced strong dissatisfaction with the state of the nation, blaming the Tinubu-led government for deepening the hardship faced by ordinary citizens.
Top 20 richest Igbo men and women
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Nigeria is home to some of the wealthiest people on the continent and quite a good percentage of them are of Igbo roots.
The Igbos are known for their successes in business, and they are found in almost all parts of the country dealing and trading. But originally, they are based in the southeast region, which comprises Enugu, Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi and Abia states.
Therefore, the richest Igbo men and women hail from this geographical part of the nation.
