Part of it was split off in 1991 as Abia State, and another became Ebonyi State. Imo state was formed at Ngwoma and the meetings for the state creation which began after the Nigerian Civil War ended in 1970 were chaired by Eze S. E. Onukogu.

The state has a three-tier managerial structure: State, Local and Autonomous community levels. In Imo state the three arms at state level are the Executive, the Legislative and the Judiciary. The executive arm is managed by an elected Governor who is assisted by a deputy governor, commissioners and executive advisers.
