Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has disclosed that that the state’s Internally Generated Revenue had grown from N400 million to over N3 billion monthly.
Uzodimma made this disclosure during a meeting with various labour union leaders on the night of Tuesday, 26 August, 2025 at the Government House in Owerri, the state capital According to him, in 2020, the state were receiving allocations between N5 billion to N7 billion, but now it has increased to N14 billion.
“In 2020, the state recorded a debt profile of over N280 billion, but it has reduced to less than N100 billion,” he added just as he also recalled that when he assumed office in 2020, the major infrastructure in all sectors had totally collapsed.
According to the governor, a lot had been expended to rebuild the collapsed infrastructure, especially roads, and to combat the insecurity challenges.
Uzodimma added that the removal of fuel subsidy had equally raised the cost of living in Nigeria, as much as it had its own advantages.
