Engaging. Informative. Forward-looking.
Highlights from today's press conference with members of the media and the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN).
Together, we continue to tell the Rangers story.
For years now, we have had to deal with congestion and the indiscriminate use of Douglas Road, Owerri, despite its status as a major economic artery of the State. This unfortunate situation has created an enabling environment for the breeding of different classes of criminal elements, thereby undermining public safety, order, and the smooth flow of commercial activities.
The deplorable condition of the road further contributed to these challenges, encouraging abuse and illegal movements, particularly by motorists and street traders. Our decision to embark on the reconstruction of this strategic road is in line with our Urban Renewal Project, which is aimed at salvaging the City of Owerri from the looming threat of economic stagnation and reversing the gradual decline in urban development and growth.
Beyond restoring critical infrastructure, this intervention seeks to create a more organized, secure, and economically vibrant city, and during my inspection of the project site, I could literally feel the fresh air of relief breathed by residents and users of the road, expressing their appreciation for the transformative impact of our Urban Renewal Projects.
The quality and pace of work observed are consistent with the expectations of the Government, and I am pleased that progress remains on track for completion within the contractual timeline.

Today, we visited Beginners’ Basic School, Aba, to spread the gospel of Mathematics ahead of the 2027 South East Maths Olympiad.
I noticed that many children in Aba look fresh and happy.
In total, we now have 16,241 children registered for the 2027 South East Maths Olympiad.
Today, I had the pleasure of receiving a distinguished delegation from the Nigerian insurance industry led by Mrs. Ekeoma Ezeibe, President of the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB). They were joined by Mr. Olusegun Ayo Omosehin, Commissioner for Insurance and Chief Executive Officer of National Insurance Commission (NAICOM), alongside other industry leaders.
I commended NCRIB for its efforts to deepen insurance awareness and penetration across Nigeria. Insurance plays a vital role in protecting individuals, businesses, and investments from unforeseen risks, and I am pleased that the industry is engaging directly with the public to build trust and confidence.
In Abia, where many of our people are engaged in trade, manufacturing, and MSMEs, insurance serves as a critical safety net. I welcome the launch of the Insurance Penetration Initiative in our state and pledge my administration’s full support to encourage wider participation. We will continue to promote financial security, economic sustainability, and inclusive growth for all Abians.
As the 2026 Insurance Chief Executive Officers’ Retreat continues here in Umuahia, I wish the Council and all participants fruitful deliberations and great success in their engagements.
