Ochendo: The leader with a vision.

By Uche Aguoru

Going through the programs and projects of Governor T.A. Orji (Ochendo) one can best describe him as a leader with a vision, one who is on a mission to develop Abia.
Ochendo,s works are works geared towards changing the face and fortunes of the state.
As a leader, Ochendo will go down in history as one who came, saw and conquered, who has shown love and care for his people, a leader with a kind heart who accommodates criticism and listens to peoples opinion when it matters, a leader whose program are those eschewed of any atom of selfishness but fashioned towards the improvement of the state and its citizens, a leader who listens to the cry of his people and does every thing a leader should do to put smiles in the faces of those he is leading, a leader who understands that he is holding the mandate of the people and meant to serve them first before self, a God fearing man whose love for God cannot be compromised, a hard working leader who knows that power belongs to the people who elected him as their caretaker.
Ochendo,s programs and policies are those laced with the milk of human kindness.

In education the Ochendo led government has built and renovated so many primary and secondary secondary schools across the seventeen local government areas of the state, built and equipped an E-library where students and others go for research using modern educational equipment as its obtainable in other parts of the world, Ochendo has provided free school buses for students so as to ensure that parents do not suffer the cost of transporting their wards to and from school, he also distributes free educational materials like exercise books chairs etcetera to students to enable them do their school works without complaining of lack of educational equipment. little wonder Abia has come out tops in the last two west African examination council results.

In the health sector Ochendo has built and equipped well over 250 Primary healthcare centers, two Diagnostic centres in Umuahia & Aba, nine (100) bed General Hospitals across the 3 Senatorial Districts, a new Dialysis Centre in Umuahia, he has also expanded and re-equipped the Abia State Teaching Hospital Aba, Chest Clinic at Amachara, Pediatric Clinic & Emergency Centre at Amachara etc.
The Hannamay foundation which is the pet project of his wife Her excellency Chief Mrs Mercy Odochi Orji is also into the business of taking care of Abia women antenatal care free of any charges the foundation also takes care of their delivery bills and other hospital charges.
In infrastructure: the Ochendo administration built a twin workers secretariat for civil servants in the state, before the coming of Ochendo ministries are scattered in different places within the state capital and in some cases are situated in apartments unbefitting of the corporate image of such an organisation and all this ministries are housed in rented buildings, accruing heavy burden of debt for the government and the state, its also a herculean task doing business from one ministry to another in Abia state and in most cases the ministries are very difficult to access because of where they are located which makes it very discouraging for those who has one thing or the other to do with those ministries. but today the reverse is the case as ministries have parked into a tastefully equipped workers secretariat courtesy of Ochendo,s government, The Ochendo administration have also relocated the Umuahia main market, the Timber market and the motor spare parts market to a new location easing traffic and decongesting the state capital, it has also beautified the state capital by erecting statues in major roundabouts within the state capital, it also mounted traffic lights in major junctions in umuahia the state capital, the Ochendo government is building an ultra modern state of the art international conference center, which is ninety percent completed, a new government house where construction is ongoing at the moment, a modern shopping mall which is a PPP initiative that was attracted by the present regime which is 80% completed the Ochendo administration have also constructed new access roads across different communities within the state a new high court building for easy and quick dispensation of justice it have also brought back to life the Ambassador news papers which was abandoned by the previous administration, and constructed a new ASEPA complex, new BCA complex etc.
the importance of these projects cannot be over emphasised as these are some of the major land marks that aught to be put in place to drive the development of the state to where it should be.
In housing the Abia state government have gone on an aggressive housing development program bearing in mind that housing is a major human need, some of these housing estates have been completed and taken over by its beneficiaries it includes Amaokwe Housing Estate Umuahia north,
Ochendo Liberation Housing estate old Umuahia,Umuahia South,
Isieke Housing estate umuahia north,
New Ohobo Housing Estate, Old timber market Umuahia North, Amauba housing estate, Traders Estate Ubani
Umuahia North etc, which gave him an award of excellence in housing development


In the area of youth empowerment and job creation the Ochendo administration has created jobs and empowered the youths in several ways which includes the opening of skill acquisition centers where graduates and non graduates are trained in different skills thereby arming them for the future since the government cannot employ every body into the states civil service it has also given out taxis free of any charges to Abia youths that will help them fend for them selves and their families.

In security which is the most important aspect of governance and first line contract which the people enter into with their leaders the Abia state government has done marvelously well in this area, according to security watch initiative a non governmental organisation, it has rated Abia the 3rd most secured state in the federation and every Nigerian knows the history of Abia state as it relates to security before the coming of Ochendo but today the story is different as Abians and non Abians who visit the state can sleep with both of eyes closed.

In politics Ochendo has stabilised the polity bringing every political stake holder in Abia state to one umbrella and ensuring that all aggrieved parties are pacified and brought together for the interest and development of the state he has also improved the relationship between the state and the federal which before now was not very cordial, as a man of peace he has been able to mend fences with those who feel aggrieved with the maltreatment they received by the previous administration and today we no longer hear of political fightings and killings in our dear state Abia.

In Agriculture the administration of governor T.A.Orji through its agricultural revolution program have developed a program called liberation farms project whereby farms are opened in different parts of the state for the purposes of developing the agric sector which has been abandoned and left to die, it has also gone ahead to send Abia youths who studied agriculture locally abroad to go and learn modern agricultural technics so as to effectively manage the farms.

In every other sector of governance governor T.A Orji Ochendo global has excelled more than other governors who has lead the state at different times through his vision and experience in administration and governance.

Mr OP abi you travel?

I think I can say without any fear of contradiction that Orji is the worst performing governor in this dispensation. The OP must be living on the moon or is a paid lackey, no doubt about dat.
Does your precious Ochendo know about the state of major roads in his state?
Rubbish!

It appears this governor is the most detested politician of our time. Smh.

It appears this governor is the most detested politician of our time. Smh.

And the most confused and stu.pid politician too. shebi he wants to contest for senate, God will roast his ar.se

After the Civil war and maybe Ikedi Ohakim: Uchenna Ochendo's the next worst thing to have ever happened to a South-Eastern state!

Ochendo should go to ariaria mrkt, and tell them how great he is and how much he have worked for abians. Its an open invitation, lets test his poplarity

When it comes to TA Orji, both APC and PDP seem to be in agreement.
