Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo State
Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma on Wednesday, 26th November 2025 commissioned the ultra-modern Imo Land Information Centre, officially kick-starting the state’s comprehensive digital land administration system and ending decades of manual, fraud-prone land processes.
The new digital ecosystem, described by the Governor as a game-changer for transparency and ease of doing business, delivers immediate and far-reaching benefits to residents, investors, and the state treasury.
All existing land allocation records have now been fully digitized and migrated to a secure, user-friendly online portal where Imo citizens can apply for Certificates of Occupancy (C-of-O), verify titles, pay fees, and complete the entire process from anywhere in the world without stepping into any government office.
In his remarks, Governor Uzodimma revealed that blockchain technology has been deployed to create tamper-proof digital ledgers, effectively curbing land grabbing, double allocation, and forgery while real-time monitoring tools will flag suspicious transactions instantly.
“This is the end of land racketeering in Imo State,” the Governor declared.
Revenue collection is also set for a major boost through automated fee payments and fully transparent electronic land auctions that eliminate under-the-table deals. The platform is seamlessly linked with Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping for accurate urban planning and includes dedicated dispute resolution portals to fast-track resolution of land conflicts.
With these innovations, Imo State has positioned itself as the first state in the South-East to achieve end-to-end digital land administration, offering investors unprecedented certainty, empowering farmers with secure titles for bank loans, and guaranteeing ordinary citizens faster and fairer access to land ownership.
The Imo Land Information Centre, equipped with state-of-the-art servers and a citizen helpdesk, will serve as the nerve centre for the new system, ensuring 24/7 availability and continuous upgrades. Governor Uzodimma dedicated the project to the people of Imo State, pledging that the era of “land wahala” is now history.
