Owerri, the capital of Imo State, is widely regarded as the entertainment capital of southeastern Nigeria. The city's nightlife and social scene — concentrated around the New Owerri and World Bank areas — rival much larger cities. Owerri is surrounded by Igbo communities known for their entrepreneurial spirit, and this energy infuses the city's service economy.

The city's "enjoyment" culture means event services are always in demand.
