Motorists and residents in around back of IMSU, the Imo State capital, are celebrating a new era of seamless urban mobility following the official completion and opening of the newly constructed Chukwuma Nwoha Road, linking the Orji Flyover to MCC Junction.

The strategic dual carriageway, built to modern standards, features a comprehensive drainage system and solar-powered street lighting—innovations that not only enhance safety but also contribute to the aesthetic appeal of the area. The road, already in use, is fast becoming a catalyst for increased economic activity along the corridor, with businesses springing back to life and commuters experiencing much-needed relief from years of poor road conditions.

Governor Hope Uzodimma, in a statement marking the milestone, reflected on the challenges and triumphs of the State’s infrastructural transformation. “The journey to transform Imo State’s road infrastructure has been both challenging and rewarding. Today, I look back with pride at the progress we’ve made, most recently marked by the successful completion of the Chukwuma Nwoha Road. This is more than a road—it is a symbol of our resolve to redefine urban mobility and economic progress,” he said.

The governor, widely referred to as the #PeoplesGovernor the ROAD MASTER, has continued to earn praise for his administration’s dedication to impactful development.

Mrs. Ogechi Ibe, a business owner along newly reconstructed road, commended the governor for what she described as “a timely and thoughtful project.” According to her, “Before now, this road was almost impassable during the rainy season, and we used to lose customers. Today, my business is picking up again, and all thanks to Governor Uzodimma.”

Another resident, Mr. Chinedu Okafor, who resides around prefab, noted that the newly completed road has cut travel time. “This is one of the most impactful projects in recent times. The dual carriageway and lighting system are impressive. The #PeoplesGovernor has done well,” he added.

The completion of the Chukwuma Nwoha Road adds to a growing list of transformative infrastructure projects under the Uzodimma administration, as Imo State inches closer to becoming a model of development and economic resilience in the South-East region.
