GOVERNOR ALEX OTTI OF ABIA STATE ANNOUNCED THAT WITHIN 15 MONTHS, HIS AD

Speaking at a media event in Umuahia, he highlighted that Abia also attracted $159 million in foreign direct investment from June 2023 to June 2024.

Otti emphasized his administration’s commitment to using state resources for infrastructure, salaries, pensions, and other government expenses. He stated, “I inherited N191.3 billion in debt but have paid off over N90 billion without borrowing a Kobo. These achievements are a result of prudent resource management.”

Abia has improved its foreign investment ranking from 27th to 3rd among Nigerian states. Otti attributed this progress to creating a conducive environment for investors, noting that a tech hub initiative with Akaikenga Think Tank is in the works. He added that Apostle Chibuzor of OPM recently brought investors from Italy, Turkey, and the U.S. to explore opportunities in Abia.

Otti also outlined efforts to promote food security, such as sponsoring 300 Abians to study modern farming techniques in Nasarawa. His government has initiated the Greater Ohafia Development Commission (GADO) to ensure balanced development across Abia’s senatorial districts, complementing the existing Greater Aba Development Authority (GADA) and Umuahia Capital Development Agency (UCDA).

In infrastructure, Otti reported significant road projects underway across the state, including the 5-kilometer Onuimo Bridge-Abia Tower road expansion and several new road constructions. He stated that Julius Berger has committed to completing the Port Harcourt Road in Aba by February 2025. The governor also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to a zero-pothole policy for Abia roads.
