Abia State and her challenges...Bridging the Gap.
Although the State has challenges because for the first time in the history of the state, the foundation for the take of a modern is being laid by Governor T. A. Orji. But some of the reaction has been relatively hysterical and un constructive.
You read people that are not on ground criticizing our Governor too quickly. There are people out there telling false stories about Gov T. A Orji and the State.
It does not help much. I have been extremely disappointed by some of the comments by those who will not acknowledge the progress made so far by the Governor. Aba for instance, used to have several inappropriate dump sites. Now one can drive from Osisioma to Alaoji Aba/ PH express way without covering his or nose. Umuahia was commended as one of the cleanest capitals in Nigeria by the Labaran Maku led NGGTOUR. Environmentally, the State has been cleaned up to promote healthy environment. Security is no more a major challenge as security measures put in place are yielding very positive outcome. Abia State remains the most peaceful State in Nigeria. New Structures in the health sector, commerce, education and other infrastructural development are being developed to drive sustainable development in the state. To promote commerce and Industry while encouraging Small and Medium scale Enterprises. Today, Abia State began the first made in Abia products exhibition. It's hard time we begin to promote our State and the entire Igboland, having in mind the progress made so far and challenges common amongst States. Rome was never built in a day. Abia State is in safe Hands. Thank you.
