ABIA TO PARTNER ONLY COMPETENT COMPANIES IN MANAGEMENT OF ACQUIRED MORIBUND INDUSTRIES - GOV. OTTI. Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti, OFR, has reiterated his resolve to partner only competent companies in the management of moribund industries acquired by the State. Governor Otti stated this on Friday, March 13th in his office, during a meeting with the management team of Nepal Energies, a company with interest to manage the Afro Beverages, one of the moribund industries the State Government recently acquired from the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON). Gov. Otti explained that the capacity and competence of any prospective investor will be a major factor that will be considered in selecting partners to manage moribund industries recently re-acquired by the Abia State Government. The Governor, who noted that the State government was being meticulous in selecting investors in order to avoid a repeat of past experiences where industries were revived only to collapse again, explained that the State Government did not acquire the industries to run them directly but to revive them and hand them over to competent private sector to manage. "The reason for the acquisition is not for us to go in and run it, as a government, we know where our limits are. "It would be a disaster after the original visionaries set it up, passed it on, and then it was ran aground, and we rescued it, and somebody else comes and runs it aground again. "So, that is why we are very meticulous, and we are very careful in bringing investors into those organisations. "It must be people who have the capacity, who have the capital, the competence, the skills to run them. So, for us, what would be very critical is the capacity to manage," Gov. Otti stated. Gov. Otti went ahead to say that the revival of those industries was aimed at creating job opportunities, saying that unemployment is a major driver of crime and criminality. The State Chief Executive commended the Nepal Energies for initiating an industrial project in Ukwa West LGA as well as their involvement in the Plaster Of Paris (POP) Cement production in Aba, with plans to scale up production from 200 tonnes to 1,500 tonnes. Speaking earlier, the Managing Director of Nepal Energies, Dr Mrs Ngozi Ekeoma, expressed the desire of the company to partner with the State government to acquire and revive the Afro Beverages, one of the industries currently acquired from AMCON by the Abia State Government. Dr Mrs Ekeoma noted that the return of stable power supply to Aba has created a favourable environment for industrial growth, adding that the Nepal Group had also partnered with another firm producing POP cement in Abia, with a current production capacity of about 200 tonnes per day and plans to scale up to 1,500 tonnes within the next 18 months. She said that her company, which operates in the downstream oil and gas sector, also has interest in non-oil businesses, including a detergent manufacturing plant currently being sited in Ukwa West LGA, is ready for the partnership. "We have come to partner with the State to get one of the industries that is in Abia, that is currently being owned by Abia State Government. "We think it's something that we can revive, revamp, and put it back in a state that it should be. "We are capable of taking over the industry. This is not the first manufacturing plant that we own. "As we speak, we are already in partnership with another company producing POP cement in Aba. "We are currently building our detergent plant , a four - tonnes per hour detergent plant in Ụkwa West. It should start producing before the end of the year," Mrs Ekeoma explained. The Chief of Staff to the Governor, Pastor Caleb Ajagba, Ph.D, Commissioner for Industry and SMEs, Mazi Mike Akpara, Commissioner for Power and Public Utilities, Engr. Ikechukwu Monday, DG/CEO Public-Private-Partnership and Investment Promotion, Mr Chinedum Chijioke, DG, Greater Aba Development Authority, Arc. Uche Ukeje among others were present at the meeting.

VFTS UPDATE: Abia Health Centres are getting digitalized. The machines being installed in these health care facilities have been programmed to communicate to you in Igbo language, making health care even more accessible to everyone. That is the level Abia is operating on, and we will keep getting better. #InvestInAbia

“I’m Based In Lagos And Ogun State, But I Decided To Visit Aba, Abia State To See If Everything People Were Saying Is True. And This Is What I Have To Say: Governor Sanwo-Olu And Adedapo Abiodun, Both Of You Are The Worst Governors I Have Ever Seen. You’re Both Completing 8 Years, Yet What The 2 Of You Have Done Combined In Your States Is Not Even Half Of What Alex Otti Has Achieved In Less Than 3 Years.”~ Media Personality Saheed

A mutual got debited of 395,424 from her GT bank account for no reason. She mailed them and was told it will take up to 40-90 days for it to be resolved. No good respond, no transparency and how it was taken out.. Today she went to the bank and the only good thing they could tell her was that there's nothing they can do.. She was told that even if she likes,let her sleep in rhe bank. They also told her she was the one that used the money. She didn't initiate the transaction but GT bank claimed she had used her ATM card to make the transaction.. Since you GT bank claimed the ATM card was used, why not should her the evidence? At least provide evidence indicating it was through the ATM that the money was deducted.. The nonchalant and "you will do nothing" attitude here is top-notch.. If it was a well known person or a rich person, I am very sure they will try to protect their bank and solve the issue at once.. Please let's create awareness for her so she can recover her Money.. Let's make this known to everyone.. If you have experienced this with any bank, please this is your chance to call them out.. This is the best Time to call them out.. don't air this please.. GT bank refund @AdageorgeA her money please!!!

BE THE JUDGE! Ladies and gentlemen, This is the Primary Healthcare Center, Umuagu, Omoba, Isiala Ngwa South LGA commissioned quietly yesterday by the Honorable Commissioner for Health, Professor Enoch Ogbonnaya Uche, on behalf of Governor Alex Otti. Yes, you heard me. This is a PHC, not a General Hospital. This is the Otti standard and this is what he is replicating across the entire state. Primary Health Center o! Abeg, leave mata. This man came with a powerful blueprint. Hoo haa! The man njike ejike bia this work. Ururu Aja.
