Abia State Governor – elect, Dr Alex Otti, today, in Aba, formally inaugurated the Transition Committee, headed by Mr Victor Onyenkpa.

He tasked the star studded committee to produce a policy document that would forge a direction and developmental agenda for Abia State, in line with his vision and campaign promises.

According to him, the choice of Aba, the commercial hub of the state, for the inauguration of the committee, was strategic as well as significant.

He described Enyimba City as the centrepiece of the incoming administration’s economic and infrastructural development plan.

The governor-elect said: “We want to thank you all for honouring us with your time to help us lay the foundation our administration will build on.

“We intend to run a slim government in terms of political appointments, but then it is our intention to create enough opportunity for businesses to thrive and succeed in the state.

“We have chosen Aba for this inauguration today because Aba is the heartbeat of Abia economy despite the fact that it has been abandoned for many years by successive administrations.

“We want to build an industrial hub with steady power supply, renewable energy and other solid infrastructure for the economy of the state to grow”.

Responding, the Chairman of the Council, Onyenkpa, said “Alex Otti is expected to perform a miracle concerning the transformation of Abia State and our job is to give him a road map that would help him to perform that miracle.”
