Governor of Alex Otti has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to transforming Abia State, declaring that the state’s journey toward greater development remains unstoppable.
Speaking during a thanksgiving service held at the event centre near Okpara Square as part of activities marking his third anniversary in office, Otti described the occasion as a moment of reflection and gratitude to God for what he called “His unfailing and enduring faithfulness.”
The governor thanked the people of Abia for their trust, encouragement and continued support, noting that their partnership has remained the foundation of the administration’s achievements so far.
He also appreciated the President of Living Word Ministries International, Brother Emma Okorie, alongside other clerics whose prayers and support, according to him, have sustained his political journey since 2014.
Otti stressed that his decision to serve God with his household has been the secret behind the successes recorded by his administration.
As part of the anniversary activities, the governor proceeded to Umuagu Ibeku where he flagged off the construction of a 1,000-seat Ecumenical Centre. He disclosed that the project, tied to a personal vow made to God years ago, would be privately funded without any government resources.
The governor later moved to Laguru in Ubakala, Umuahia South, where he simultaneously flagged off the rehabilitation of the ₦1.3 billion Ubakala Water Scheme and Ariaria Water Scheme in Aba to improve access to clean water across communities in the state.
He expressed optimism that with God’s grace and the continued support of the people, Abia would witness even greater progress in the coming years.
