The Nworie River is a river in Nigeria that passes through Owerri and drains into the Otamiri River at Nekede.[1] The length of the river from its source to its confluence is 9.2 km. The river is heavily polluted; in 2017 the local government issues warnings against using water from the river.[2][3] In order to increase the state's supply of electricity, the formal President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari approved the conceptual design of a proposed power producing facility near the Nworie River in Owerri, the capital of Imo.[4]
