Who We Are

The Voice of Imo State's Private Sector

OCCIMA was established in 1970 as an association limited by guarantee. As the umbrella body for all private company owners and business associations in Imo State, we have spent over five decades advocating for a business environment where commerce can thrive.

We connect businesses to government, facilitate trade, issue Certificates of Origin for exporters, and represent the organised private sector in national policy discussions through NACCIMA.
