It is my pleasure to announce that we have officially commissioned the landmark Nnenna Oti Bus Terminal in Umuahia, and it is now ready for public use. The project is a multimodal transport hub designed to accommodate more than 340 buses at once, powered by sustainable infrastructure and connected to our growing network of electric buses.
The facility is named in honour of Prof. Nnenna Nnennaya‑Oti, the courageous INEC Returning Officer in the 2023 governorship election, whose integrity and patriotism remind us that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary results by simply standing for the truth.
Her name on this terminal is not just about one person, but a tribute to all electoral officials, security operatives, party agents, and citizens who resisted intimidation and defended democracy.
With 20 electric buses already in operation and more on the way in the coming weeks, the project signals our bold vision for a modern, safe, and sustainable transport system in Abia. The facility is also supported with independent power and water systems to ensure uninterrupted operations.
In my address titled “Raising the Bar”, I stated unequivocally that we have moved beyond the era of small ambitions. We refuse to be boxed into margins that underestimate our strength. This principle underpins all our undertakings.
I extend special commendation to the contractors, Planet Projects Limited, for a job well done in delivering this landmark facility. I also appreciate the dedication of the Commissioner for Transport, Dr. Chimezie Ukaegbu, the SSA Transport, Dr. Obioma Nwaogbe, and their team for the critical role they played in bringing this vision to reality.
I call on all residents and members of the host community to take ownership of this facility, to maintain a clean environment, and to guard against vandalism. This terminal belongs to you, and its success depends on your care. I also urge all Abians to pay their taxes regularly. Development cannot be sustained without collective responsibility, and every naira contributed helps us deliver the future our people deserve.
Leadership is not capturing power.
Leadership is capturing the heart of people & infusing hope into it, of a better future. 🔥
Peter Obi fulfills Opeoluwa (a random stranger he met in US airport) dream of attending his wedding.
An inspired people build nations not Leaders.📌
@GreatCbscjim Once anyone of us leaves the shores of Africa we are all described as Africans. Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Nigerian etc doesn’t matter anymore.
African needs to unite to conquer the bigger demon.
I'll be speaking at the Chatham House, London tomorrow afternoon (Monday, 16th January), on the vision for policy change and the institutional reforms that Labour Party, Datti, and I have for Nigeria.
@StanbicIBTC Pls I’ll want more details about your investment options. I joined late. I heard something mentioned about 19% yield I’ll need the details and also info about dollar funds and equities. I’ll prefer email response to [email protected]
Until we change our Constitution and restructure our governance system, the discontent in the land, the distrust between constituent parts, and the focus on sharing rather than production will continue. It doesn’t matter who comes in 2023, 2027 or 2031, nothing will change.
@AtedoPeterside Spot on sir. I wonder why some supposedly enlightened people prefer to deceive themselves especially in matters far flung for which they neither participated in nor can influence. Truth shall always prevail over alternate reality
Peter Obi has a good track record of reducing the Costs of Governance. When discussing 2023 candidates we should put forward the track record of each candidate so we compare what each is bringing to the table #EndBadGovernmentInNigeria#ENDSARS
