I miss the golden Nollywood comedy era when legends like Nkem Owoh, Charles Awurum, Charles inojie, John Okafor, Victor Osuagwu, Aki and Pawpaw, and Sam Loco dominated. After them, that industry never fully recovered.
Today, I visited the Government House complex in Umuahia to inspect the ongoing construction of a new Governor’s Office and Official Residence.
At the site, I met with engineers from Craneburg Construction Company, the firm handling the project, and together we reviewed the progress to ensure everything is on track with approved designs and standards.
I am pleased with the quality and pace of construction so far and have urged the contractors to sustain the momentum. The project, expected to be completed before the end of the year, is part of our broader effort to rebuild and modernize the Abia State Government House after years of neglect.
Already, we have delivered several key upgrades, including the renovated Deputy Governor’s Office, a brand-new Office for the Secretary to the State Government, and the remodeled Michael Okpara Auditorium, Protocol Building, Political Block Unit and Banquet Hall. Work is also ongoing on a modern Government House Clinic, a new Gate, and other supporting infrastructure.
Our goal is clear: to transform the seat of government into a functional, befitting, and modern administrative hub for the people of Abia State.
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.
Isn’t it crazy that in Nigeria you can get arrested faster for criticizing the government than the actual criminals committing the crimes you’re criticizing them for?
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.
