The executive Governor of Abia state, Alex Otti has joined Abians to mark 32 years of state existence even in the face of turbulence.
In his statement he said, “I had the privilege of participating in the grand finale of the ABIA DAY CELEBRATION 2023 (ABIA@32). The highlight of the event was the anniversary lecture, titled “ABIA: Hitting the RESET button” which was delivered virtually by Dr. Oby Ezekwesili. It was a time to pause and reflect on Abia’s journey over the past three decades while also looking ahead to a brighter future.
“During this occasion, we proudly launched the ABIA STATE ORIENTATION AGENCY (ABSOA). This agency serves as a catalyst for driving change in Abia State, departing from old norms and a decayed value system that has hindered progress. Our goal is to bring about disruptive and transformative changes in our dear state. With ABSOA, we envision a vibrant and tech-driven public service, a robust economy, a clean and green environment, strong and functional institutions, an employable youth population and an investor-friendly Abia State.
“We are confident that with ABSOA spearheading the move towards achieving these goals, Abia will take its rightful place among leading states in Nigeria.”
