Imo State, Administrative division in southern Nigeria
Imo State extends across 5,530 square kilometers of land, featuring the Niger Delta swamp forests and Cross-Niger transition forests intersected by multiple rivers.
The British military established their first post in the Imo territory during 1901, leading to the incorporation of the region into Southern Nigeria Protectorate.
The Igbo language functions as the primary means of communication alongside English throughout the state, reflecting the predominant ethnic group in the region.
The state capital Owerri connects to other major cities through a network of highways and contains industrial facilities producing beverages, leather goods, and soap.
The Federal University of Technology in Owerri, established in 1980, stands as one of the principal educational institutions in southern Nigeria.
