Our Vision Is To Make Abia Great – Gov Otti

Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has said his administration’s grand vision is to make the state great as he inaugurates 14 roads rehabilitated by his administration in Aba.

At the event, which is part of the first phase of 55 projects he had earlier announced to be either inaugurated or flagged off soon, he described the projects as a celebration of a new epoch in the state.
He said, “As a first step in that regard is to build a system of financial prudence, putting resources to investments that yield the best outcomes for the present and future generations.’’

According to him, he is glad that across the state today, especially within and around Enyimba City, significant evidence exists that “the administration is doing just that.”

“Over the next few years, Aba will not just attract people from all over the world. Because of the glory of the past, this city will pull investors from within and outside Nigeria because of the unique advantages it offers.”

The governor also noted that the commissioning of the chains of interconnected roads speaks to his urban renewal agenda and commitment to the holistic restoration of the Aba urban corridor.

“We have gathered together in celebration, not of roads, but of a new epoch. We rejoice at what we have been able to accomplish in the last two years in the area of road infrastructure and the opportunities that have been created.

“The real accomplishments should be seen in terms of the hopes that have been restored, dreams we have revived, and the collective stories we have created for our children and children’s children.

In their respective contributions, the speaker of the State House of Assembly, Emmanuel Emeruwa, and the mayor of Aba South local government, Obilor Anyanwu, appreciated the administration’s embarking on the projects.

Similarly, the director general of the Greater Aba Development Authority, Uche Ukeje, said the administration had always prioritised road infrastructure and remained committed to delivering its campaign promises.
