Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Economy, Good Governance, Infrastructure
A Symphony of Renewal: The Unseen Spring in Abia's Soul The 24-Year Winter: A Landscape Frozen in Time**For nearly a quarter-century, an unnatural chill gripped Abia.

Pensioners shivered in a "welfare winter," abandoned as political youths feasted on phantom empowerment billions. The air thickened with broken promises—until even pastors tuned out, muttering, "Lies, all lies." The Radio Silence of ProgressGovernor Otti’s leadership speaks through a profound quiet. As Peter Obi observed in Umuahia, "You don’t need to tune to the radio to see his works."…

CELEBRATING OUR SHARED REWARD Being the Text of an Address Presented by Governor Alex C. Otti, OFR, at a Post-Projects Commissioning Rally held at Practicing School Uzuakoli, Bende LGA on Friday, June 20, 2025 Protocols The greatest impact we have made as a government is not in the length of roads constructed or reconstructed in urban and rural communities, as impressive as our record on that front is; the excitement is also not entirely about the fact that moribund health institutions are now functioning, or just because workers and pensioners now know with certainty that their entitlements would be paid…
