Because of the election cycle, this major development missed the spot light.

This city will cost 7 billion dollars and is being constructed by an indigene of IMO state in partnership with a South Korean firm.

Government of Imo state gave the final approval in December, 2022.

The city will be constructed on a 2000 hectares of land.

Uzodimma approves smart-city project


From Stanley Uzoaru, Owerri

Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has approved the construction of a multibillion-dollar mega estate, known as Smart-City, by South Korean firm, Grace Bridge-Wide.

Peter Yoon, leader of the delegation from Korea who visited the governor, said the smart-city project is going to be one of the best in the world and number one in Africa.

He said the smart-city would accomodate about 400,000 people, while creating over 500,000 jobs for citizens.

Uzodimma who was fascinated with the project requested that all paper works should be done with immediate effect to facilitate its quick commencement.

The governor also commended the Direct Foreign Investment (DFI) team led by Dr. Chidimma Onuoha and staff for attracting the project to the state.

Onuoha expressed gratitude to the governor for finding the project worthy.

She explained that the project which will occupy over 2,000 hectares space of land would be a reality.

The delegation to the Imo Government House included the Managing Director, Grace Bridge Nigeria Limited, Mr. James Uwuji, Head of Technical for DFI, Kingsley Maduka, Media/Public Relations Officers for DFI, Ajibade-Praise Awofeso.

I am not sure of the location but it is likely going to be close to area where ANOH gas is being sited for easy gas and power supply

When they are halfway done, I will congratulate them...


For now, nice efforts!

Ping me when the project is completed.

Nobody takes Imo State seriously now because APC imposed a fraudulent Supreme Court governor on the state.

Even private investors are not willing to take their businesses to the state because Hope Uzodinma is a terrible character.

This project has nothing to do with hopeless uzodinma. His only role in this project is to approve the required paperwork’s.

Investors will pour into Imo state in the coming years because of the availability of gas. Thanks to ANOH gas project.

Okay

I hope land grabbers have modernized their strategy? There are many land in imo state that were grabbed using similar strategy. Most popular is, bring in white doctors to offer free eye test and glasses, then go to the community head and demand for a sizeable land to build hospital for the community.

10 of these projects will set the Eastern economy into an overdrive and unending boom.

What a time to birth these projects. At a time we have 2 first class economists and former top bankers as governors

From my research, I think the project will be situated around Umudim community and Umuokpo autonomous community .
