Good Governance: "Why I Focus On Road Infrastructure, Agriculture and Education" - Orji Uzor Kalu

I have often been asked why I am focusing so much on road infrastructure and education as a lawmaker just like I did when I was the Governor of Abia State.

The truth is that I invested in Road Infrastructure, Education, Health, Agriculture and Sports as the Governor of Abia State — because I was convinced that investment in these sectors would provide opportunities for our people—especially women and youths to be meaningfully engaged.

To achieve these goals, I embarked on massive construction of roads in the urban and rural areas, introduced free education from primary to secondary schools, made ABSU affordable, yet very efficient, and paid salaries regularly. I ensured that our mothers and children received proper medical attention by making drugs available and accessible— which also necessitated building ABSUTH in Aba. I gave out seedlings to farmers to improve agricultural products, and invested heavily in sports to discover talents and properly engage youths in Abia State.

As a lawmaker, I have constructed over 60 rural roads, built and equipped over 70 brand new schools across Abia North Senatorial District, distributed free textbooks, and other educational materials to students across the district, as well as sponsoring the Universal Free Education Bill

It is my belief that only sincere investment in youth development and education would tackle most of the challenges affecting Nigeria, because the skills acquired through learning will provide our youths with more career and employment opportunities to enable them to be more effective in their jobs and compete with their counterparts in other parts of the world.

I am a withness to your road projects accross Abia north as my own community are beneficiaries of two roads you built within the last 3 years.

Truth is because of this man
APC Will Keep on winning Abia north

He has been doing alot of road construction there, plus he never owe workers salary for a day, when he was a governor
He constructed the orji uzo bridge ABA and other roads, the mistake he made was that he neglected umuahia and never cared about city expansion in ABA, most roads he constructed should have been made dual carriageway!
When he handed over to t.A orji, and the both failed apart, t.A (from umuahia) neglected Aba and focus on umuahia previously neglected by orji uzo!

How can he observe table manners in the public when he lacks proper home training?

Together with Hon Ben Kalu the deputy speaker they are all doing well in Bende and Abia north in general.
