Acknowledging the challenge of limited resources, Otti assured that his government would address other areas in Aba and the state as a whole. Regarding Port Harcourt road, Otti mentioned that the final phase of the rehabilitation agreement is in progress, and work will commence soon.
He also expressed the government’s commitment to collaborate with Geometric Power providers to improve power supply in the Aba Ring Fenced area, benefiting Small and Medium Scale Entrepreneurs (SMEs) who rely on public power providers for their businesses.
Regarding the delay in local government elections, Otti explained that while the government is working on organizing these elections, he intends to appoint local government Transition Committee Chairmen (TC) for the 17 local government areas of the state temporarily.
He reaffirmed his commitment not to divert security votes and to use them for their intended purpose. Regarding the retirement of Permanent Secretaries in the state, Otti stated that the decision was made based on existing laws and the results of written and oral exams, ensuring that qualified individuals are selected.
Regarding the new governor’s lodge, Otti noted that it was handed over to him incomplete by his predecessor, and he intends to complete it once he addresses more pressing issues such as salary payments and road repairs. He emphasized that the state is working with the federal government to address federal road infrastructure for the benefit of road users.
