President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is scheduled to visit Imo State on Tuesday, 30 September 2025, to inaugurate a series of key infrastructure projects completed by the administration of Governor Hope Uzodimma.
This was confirmed in a statement issued Friday by presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, and further affirmed by Governor Uzodimma in a separate message released on Saturday.
In his official statement, Uzodimma welcomed the President’s upcoming visit with “great joy and a deep sense of honour,” stating that the visit was a significant moment for the people and government of Imo State.
“On behalf of the government and good people of our dear state, I warmly welcome the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR,” Uzodimma said.
During his visit, President Tinubu is expected to commission several completed projects, including the rebuilt Owerri–Mbaise–Obowo–Umuahia Road, a new flyover linking Port Harcourt and Onitsha Roads, with major upgrades around Assumpta Cathedral Roundabout and the Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Conference Centre.
These projects, Uzodimma said, represent major milestones in the state’s infrastructure development agenda.
As part of the itinerary, President Tinubu will also unveil a new book authored by Governor Uzodimma titled:
“A Decade of Impactful Progressive Governance in Nigeria.”
The book is a reflection on the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s journey since it first assumed power in 2015.
Both Tinubu and Uzodimma are leading figures within the APC, which first came to power when Muhammadu Buhari defeated then-incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan.
This will be President Tinubu’s second official visit to Imo State this year.
His last visit was in January 2024, when he attended the inauguration ceremony marking Governor Uzodimma’s second term in office.
Tinubu was previously scheduled to visit in August 2025 to commission “legacy projects,” but that trip was postponed.
