A video capturing Abia State Governor, Alex Otti’s emotional reaction to the shocking state of Abia State University (ABSU) has gone viral this week, drawing widespread attention and praise.

The Governor had made a surprise visit last weekend, expressing deep disappointment over the deteriorating facilities and apologizing to students for the poor living conditions.

During his visit, Otti vowed immediate action, announcing plans to construct a 5,000-capacity hostel and a functional cafeteria while also banning the use of cooking stoves and kerosene in dormitories for safety reasons.

He directed the university to begin phased renovations of existing hostels and promised to provide essential amenities like electricity and clean water.

While many have applauded the Governor for his concern and swift promises, the public is now closely watching to see if he will follow through.

His commitment to starting the constructions and rehabilitation, as he declared on Sunday during the visit, remains a major point of discussion.

When will they start working

When will they start working

In a week's time, according to what he said in the video.

We will soon see some changes, I trust!

This is taking responsibility

A quality of good leader

No be chouchou chou, when work go start?

My dog's cage is better than the hostels of Abia students.

No wonder you hear them barking that Nigeria is a zoo. Most of them were brought up in environments not fit for animals and they have never experienced good governance.

A talk and do governor. A gentleman to the core. Other governors can take a cue from this.

Yarimo and Hellanus, please don't come with your dimwitted negativity. Observe some level of decorum on this topic. Thanks.

Infact the best way to get things done is through social media.

Because if not for social media oga for no shame.

But I guess you have been given reports about the school countless times, but your only concern was the monthly or quarterly remittance from the school

The People's Governor





Watch as ABSU transforms into the best State University with cutting edge infrastructure.

Repair it

😂😂

I can just imagine Uzo Kalu, Theodore Orji and Ikpeazu right now. Historically documented failures

See how that student was surprised seeing the Governor in his hostel cubicle.

Now Imagine if it was you doing soapy in the hostel, and a Governor walks in on you like that

Nigeria we hail thee!

This is the kind of governor we would have had all over the east, if the Supreme Court and the APC did not plan to inflict all sorts of Never do wells on us..

But that entrance shaa.. Na waaa..
They could not just make it a bit better to the eyes?!

Soapy is okay. What if he was helping Obianuju assess the depth of her kuntus. All na higher education 😂😂😂

W

That is why always vote for labour party candidates..they care for their people and Nigerians and ready to provide Nigerians with better life's and better standard of living

It's a good job...but the problem we have in NIgeria is that we can build beautiful edifices, yet not keep them well maintained because the funds to keep them well maintained are always somehow not enough.

Will the governor raise fees, or will he find more tax revenue?

-Advantage of social media
-Probe hostel and utility bills
-Sack the sackable
-Renovation order outrightly

Do you mean to tell me that he is unaware of the State of the facilities belonging to the State he superintends over? What about his Commissioner of Education?

It's a shame that it took a viral post on SM to trigger his embarrassment.

It is well.

This same people will use mouth scatter other state universities.

Ori o ri ara re

The easterners are so dirty . The region that smells

LOL......

Mr. Oga Gov'nor iz not just about being embarrassed. Simply make sure no one is embarrassed by this again.

Na so una go talk, campaign time and y'all return there to make promises.

It's a really embarrassing site.

Pls do something about it Mr. Governor.

We are only existing in Nigeria. See so called citadel of learning. So disgusting.

Thinking out the box


Why are Nigerian engineers not good at maintenance

I expect the contractors of these hostel to have signed an mou on maintenance of these buildings, since they are ok constant use.

I still don't see the value of education to black race

Helinues and yarimo at coming 🤣
