Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Chioma Otti, OFR, is set to commission a total of 18 critical infrastructure and healthcare projects across the state this week, in a major push under his administration’s “New Abia” transformation agenda.
According to a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu, the commissioning ceremonies will take place between Tuesday, June 10 and Wednesday, June 11, 2025, covering Abia South and Abia Central Senatorial Zones.
Governor Otti will on Tuesday commission 12 completed road projects in Aba, the state’s commercial capital, under the supervision of the Greater Aba Development Authority and the Ministry of Works. The roads include:
- Umuode Road
- Bakassi Road
- Asa Triangle Road
- Market Road
- Tenant Road
- Cameroun Road
- Ehi Road
- Clifford Road
- Afikpo Road, among others.
A public rally will follow the commissioning at St. Joseph’s College (CKC), Asa Triangle, Aba.
On Wednesday, June 11, the focus shifts to Abia Central, where the Governor will inaugurate four fully equipped Primary Health Care Centers (PHCs) in Isiala Ngwa South, Umuahia South, and Umuahia North LGAs. These fall under the Project Ekwueme PHC Program, which aims to establish functional health centers in all 184 wards across Abia State.
Two major road projects will also be commissioned:
- The 8.3km Isi Eketa-Obikabia Road, linking Isiala Ngwa South to Isiala Ngwa North
- The 1.5km IBB Road (Duzie Way to Ahiaeke) in Umuahia
Both road projects were executed by the Ministry of Works.
A rally will be held afterward at Ibeku High School, Umuahia.
This marks the first phase of Governor Otti’s larger plan to commission and initiate 55 key projects across the state in the coming weeks, reinforcing his commitment to transparent governance, infrastructure renewal, healthcare enhancement, and socioeconomic revitalization.
