If the governor has the bile, liver and wit he should face the goliath and start work on the sea port in ukwa ,get the paperwork done and approved , he should get support financial loan from a foreign body or at least partner with akwa ibom in their sea port project or at least show interest and particularly create awareness.

This will make him the most important governor from the east like Micheal Okpara, Sam Mbakwe ,Akanu Ibiam.

Alternatively he can take Aba products to a new and acceptable level, invite more investments to Aba, build newer industrial estates and business districts in Aba and umuahia.

Aba needs the following in no particular order, steel plant to churn out steel products for the oil services company and oil and gas industry , glass furnace for the numerous breweries now that electricity is stablising and a small refinery to power the growth.
Aba used to be the second most industrialised city after lagos now aba has not measured up due to neglect and visionless regimes previously.
Abia has no issues with security so he has less headache. Aba also has little issues with unemployment. So Abia needs to focus on its core area of IGR to kick start growth and development.

But we already have an abia thread where I littered lots of pictures.
Which way now?

eagleeye2:
The source is no other than our dear own SUN NEWSPAPER, are you still surprised?

eagleeye2:
I can speak for my ministry in Abia. As bad as T.A. Orji is, he didn't owe us any months salary. Though the salary may be late, yet he still paid it.
And I can also speak for Pensioners from the primary school, they have been paid upto February 2015.
.
I cannot speak for other ministries or parastatals in the state.

eagleeye2:
Yeah. I just asked him to provide the source of that article. Maybe the source will go a long way in clarifying things.
T.A. is bad in governance, but at least he did his best to pay salaries.

This was as at last month:

'' Abia state was listed as the state that had not paid its civil servants salaries running into nine months. The state is also said to be owing workers of the Hospital Management Board eight months’ salary; Abia State Universal Basic Education Board, six months; Abia State Polytechnic, five months; local government workers, four months; and teachers, three months’ salary arrears.''

Add June to it.

It is very disheartening that some Igbos have singled out Osun as if it is the only state owing.

Investigation showed that Abia State, in the backyard of the bigots, is owing its workers 10months salaries. Instead of them to fight for their people, they are dancing skelewu with their joystick over Osun State matter.

Osun State's problem is a case of lack of good planning and overblown cost of projects while embarking on major capital projects, which are visible to all.

What exactly is Abia State's reason for owing 10months. There are no capital projects they can point to.

They should tell us the exact reason.
