At the Nnenna Oti Bus Terminal in Umuahia today, we formally commissioned 20 new electric buses, adding them to the Abia Green Shuttle fleet. This fulfills the promise we made when the first set of 20 buses were launched on December 23, 2025.

Transportation is one of the driving forces behind Abia’s economic growth, opening doors to new opportunities and improving the wellbeing of our people. By embracing electric vehicles, we are not only lowering operational costs and reducing emissions, but also advancing our vision of a modern, inclusive, and greener Abia. The new buses are equipped with expanded cargo capacity and integrated accessibility features for persons with disabilities (PWDs), thus promoting inclusivity, dignity, and universal access for all passengers.

We are committed to strictly enforcing traffic regulations, with zero tolerance for reckless driving, beating traffic lights, or vehicle overloading. The Abia State Road Traffic and Safety Management Agency (ARTSMA) and the Harmonized Task Force will now extend operations till 10 pm daily, including weekends, to safeguard lives and property.

Special thanks to the Interagency Transport team led by Mr. Chinenye Mba Uzoukwu for their dedication. Proper management of our transport assets and staff welfare remain top priorities. Acts of sabotage or vandalism will be thoroughly investigated, and culprits will face the law.

As we build the new Abia, I urge our citizens to take their tax obligations seriously. Together, we will continue closing the gap between where we are and where we aspire to be, while building a transport system that embodies the vision of a New Abia and creates greater opportunities for every citizen.

I don dey envy Abians ooo, Abians I want to appeal to you guys if we can swap governor.

The swapping condition goes this way:
Give Anambra State governor Otti to rule us for just 4 years he will return to Abia after 4 years, then take Governor Soludo and his family forever. Let's make it a deal

Making the same transport ferrying mistake.

The long buses an for local movement of people in small towns like towns outside Lagos,PH, Kano an ABuja will not work reasons

1. The drivers need to wait for it to fill before they move..where will u get the crowd

2. Commuters are always in a hurry ND won't wait that long to allow it fill up

3. State roads are usually too narrow for it's navigation..

4. Coaster buses are recommended
