Ukaegbu, transport commissioner, says Otti commits to rebuilding Abia

Chimezie Ukaegbu, Abia State Commissioner for Transport, has restated the commitment of Governor Alex Otti to rebuilding failed infrastructure in the State.

Ukaegbu, stated this, while hosting a delegation from the Alex Otti Support Group, who paid him a visit in his Office at the State Secretariat in Umuhia, the State Capital last week.

He expressed the commitment of the Governor Otti-led Administration to uplifting Abia State to the greatest level of development.

He argued that “what makes the current Administration in Abia different is that they are driven by a genuine sense of service and an obligation to work for the people”, noting that “their pursuit is beyond political glory, because they appreciate that humanity comes before politics.”

Chile Kabaka Madukaku, Director-General, Alex Otti Support Group (Abia for Good Governance) commended Governor Alex Otti on his developmental and transformational efforts in Abia State, laying emphasis on the rehabilitation of failed roads in the State, especially Aba, the State’s commercial hub.

Some of the projects that caught the attention of the Group according to Madukaku, includes the Port-Harcourt Road, Ohanku Road, Obiohia Road, Ekeakpara-Osisioma Road, Ehi Road, Clifford Road, Tenant Road, School Road and Market Road, all in Aba.
