1st and 2nd pics -the new Abia state govt house complex under construction

3 New confrence center and state govt house complex the build with green roof at the background .

According to a press statement from the
governor's office the Abia State Governor, Dr.
Okezie Ikpeazu, has formally directed that the
appellations; His Excellency and Executive, be
dropped in all official and informal communication
with him.
He would rather prefer to be addressed simply as
Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, Governor of Abia State.
The Governor wants all public communication to
be concentrated on the work and policies of the
state and not on the person of the Governor and
has therefore directed all contractors, political
groups, individuals and party loyalists not to put
his portrait on billboards, posters and signages
but to only use the pictures of ongoing projects in
their billboards and posters.
The Governor has also directed the general public
to remove all congratulatory posters and election
billboards littering the environment as these
public posters are defacing the environment of the
state. He has further charged the people of the
State to be partners with Government in ensuring
a healthy and beautiful environment. He is also,
by this directive, re-assuring the good people of
Abia State of his mission of service to the people
and therefore urged the citizenry to key into the
new vision
Signed: Godwin Adindu Chief Press Secretary to
the Governor.

Aba (Abia) – The Regional Head, South- East / South-South, First City Monument Bank plc, Mr. Okey Ezeala, has said that the bank funded Aba Mega Mall to create more jobs for Nigerians. He said that although the bank saw the enabling environment and political will in the government, it was more interested in creating jobs than making profits from the project. Ezeala disclosed this during an interview with newsmen in Aba after the inauguration of first phase of the Aba Mega Mall. The Aba Mega Mall is a Public-Private Partnership project jointly owned by the Greenfield Assets Management Ltd and the Abia State government. The owners say the mall sitting on a 280,000 square meters will on completion host 100, 000 shops. “We became willing to partner with them for as long as we were convinced that the project will impact the environment. “It is going to impact the neighbourhood and the community. It is going to put a lot of people out of the job market...

Understanding the problems of Aba…

Aba have been a weeping city even before the creation of Nigeria. It was used by the British colonial government to transport agricultural goods from the hinterlands to Port Harcourt. The city was mostly regarded by the Brits as slum due to the swampy nature of the area,this lead to the creation of GRA and the school of hygiene(now School of health technology Aba). The early development of the commercial city was disorderly due to the neglect by the colonial govt, because of which there have been some flood disasters eg Ndi ogoro flood disaster. This prompt the immediate actions by the administrations of Major general Ike O. Nwachukwu and Admiral Ndubuisi Kalu of the then east central state to pioneer the planning of Aba in The 70's. By the early 80's during the Administration of Chief S. O. Mbakwe Aba was one of the most planned cites in Nigeria...
