The Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, has started renovation works at the famous Concorde Hotel in Owerri, as part of his plans to restore abandoned state properties.

The 245-room luxury hotel, once a pride of Imo State and the entire South-East region, had fallen into disrepair over the years.

The governor said that “the renovation will restore the hotel’s past glory and modernize its facilities to meet current hospitality standards. This major upgrade aims to boost tourism, and create jobs for Imo residents.”

When completed, the improved hotel is expected to attract more tourists and business travellers to the state, which should help grow local businesses and the Imo economy.

The project is already creating construction jobs, with more employment opportunities expected in the hospitality and tourism sector once the hotel reopens.

Residents of Imo State have welcomed the renovation.

An Imo indigene, Jonathan Amadi said, “The poor state of Concorde Hotel was embarrassing to us. We’re glad the governor is fixing it.”

Another Imo indigene, Ebere Uzoh, noted, “Governor Hope Uzodimma has shown that he is a different kind of governor. Some other governors would prefer to sell off the hotel, but he is renovating it. We are happy, and we thank God.”

He said that the renovated Concorde Hotel was expected to help make Imo State a major tourist destination in Nigeria.
