OWERRI MAKES TOP 10 BEST PERFORMING CITIES IN NIGERIA – AMBROSE NWAOGWUGWU THANKS TO THE PEOPLES GOVERNOR
By InspireTechz News Desk | May 28, 2025
In a fresh national ranking released by StatiSense, Nigeria’s premier data analytics platform, Owerri has proudly emerged as the 6th best-performing city in Nigeria for the year 2025. This remarkable recognition is seen by many as a glowing endorsement of the visionary leadership and transformative strides of the Imo State Governor, His Excellency Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, fondly known as the #PeoplesGovernor.
Owerri, the capital of Imo State, ranked just behind megacities like Lagos, Abuja, and Enugu — a feat that has sparked celebration across the South-East geopolitical zone. The data highlights major improvements in urban infrastructure, security, environmental cleanliness, youth empowerment, digital innovation, and local governance.
Observers and residents alike are crediting this outstanding development to Governor Uzodimma’s people-centric governance style, relentless infrastructural renewal projects, and bold economic reforms that have not only repositioned Owerri but have also elevated Imo State on the national map.
Under his leadership, key roads have been rehabilitated and dualized, new bridges constructed, and digital infrastructure projects launched. The introduction of tech hubs, artisan support programs, SME funds, and renewed urban sanitation drives have made Owerri a model for urban performance and livability in the region.
“The data doesn’t lie,” said Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Electronic and Creative Media. “What you are seeing is the direct result of visionary leadership, accountability, and a governor who truly listens to the people. This recognition belongs to every Imolite who has supported the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“This ranking is also a symbolic rebuttal to detractors and opposition critics who have consistently undermined the sweeping transformation taking place in the state. It affirms that under the current administration, Imo is not just moving — it is soaring.”
The #PeoplesGovernor has once again proven that with the right leadership, even a city once dismissed by critics can become a national symbol of progress, innovation, and good governance.
As 2025 continues to unfold, all eyes will remain on Owerri — a city reborn, a capital transformed, and a testament to the power of people-focused leadership.
