GADA has finalized the restoration of the ancestral communities of Akoli Aba & Umuosi from age-long environmental degradation
For over 30 years, these communities, right in the heart of the ancient Aba la Ohazu, were left to rot, with houses submerged and people fleeing..
Yesterday in Aba, we commissioned 14 newly completed road projects across Osisioma, Aba North, and Aba South LGAs. This milestone reflects our unwavering drive to reshape Aba and unlock Abia’s economic potential.
The roads include: Aro Amano–Eke Aro Road, Adaelu Road, Geometric Road, Afule Road, Assemblies of God Church Road, Nwogu Ajagba Street, Nwala Street, Sacred Heart Street, Elizabeth Avenue, Nigerian Brewery Ring Road, Etche Road, Mosque Road, Crystal Park Road, and Kingdom Hall Street.
These projects are designed to:
* Improve connectivity
* Ease traffic congestion
* Support industrial growth in Aba
On Geometric Road, I recalled its poor state not long ago. Today, it stands transformed, lined with industries and opportunities. Afule Road, built as a strategic bypass, will ease pressure on Aba–Owerri Road, while Adaelu Road showcases the speed and efficiency of our project teams.
In addition, we flagged off construction of the first phase of the Aba Ring Road (4.9km) under the Greater Aba Development Authority (GADA). This strategic bypass will decongest Aba metropolis, improve access to neighbouring states like Akwa Ibom and Cross River, and further drive urban renewal and economic expansion.
Each of these projects reflects our commitment to quality, with proper drainage, street lighting, and durability.
As we mark three years in office, these projects are proof of growth and progress, opening new pathways to prosperity for our people. Aba is rising, and together we are shaping the future Abia deserves.
Today was historic in the urban infrastructure of Aba as Dr Alex Otti flagged off the 4.5KM phase 1 Aba Ring Road from Umuaduru to Obingwa.
The essence:
✅ Convey vehicular traffic from Osisioma to Obingwa and onwards to Akwa Ibom and Cross River without touching the city centre
The Director General of the Greater Aba Development Authority (GADA), Architect Uche Ukeje gives insights; length and importance of the phase 1 of the Greater Aba Ring Road, before the official flag off by His Excellency Dr Alex Chioma Otti.

This road is part of the Greater Aba Urban interconnectivity and City Expansion Towards Osisioma Area
This Before and After Video shows how Dr Alex Otti through GADA transformed Afule.
Afule is of significant importance as not just a residential area but also in underground storm water evacuation from the Umungasi - Abayi - Osisioma Axis to the Okpu Umuobo River
Assemblies of God Street, like Arsenal joins the league of the big boys. 🛣️✅
In the New Abia, we don't need 22 years to give our city, including inner streets a befitting look. It's Dr Alex Otti = 4+4
