Governor of Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to security, describing it as the bedrock of development. He assured the Aba business community that his government would maintain transparency and never compromise on public safety.
Speaking at the Aba Stakeholders Security Trust Fund Raising Luncheon held at the Aba Sports Club, Governor Otti expressed gratitude to Abians, friends of the state, and the Aba business community for their unwavering support. He pledged that all contributions to the “New Abia” project would be judiciously utilized and transparently accounted for.
The Governor dismissed claims of mismanagement, urging residents to ignore baseless propaganda and trust in his administration’s prudent handling of the state’s resources.

On infrastructure, Otti disclosed that work on the Enyimba Hotel project would commence immediately following the signing of an agreement with Radisson Blu. He also announced that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is scheduled to visit Aba on October 3 to commission the reconstructed Port Harcourt Road and six additional roads.
Beyond development, the Governor called on Abians to take part in the ongoing nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise to secure their eligibility for the 2027 general elections.
Earlier, Chairman of the event, Chief Leo Okoye, commended the Governor’s progress in road construction, security, and water supply restoration, encouraging sustained support for his administration.
Other business leaders and stakeholders including Ide John Udeagbala, Mazi Jude Nwosu, and a representative of Owelle Greg Okafor praised Otti’s proactive steps to restore Aba’s economic vibrancy. They noted that the luncheon, organized by the Aba business community, was their way of fully aligning with the state’s renewed security drive after being underrepresented at the first trust fund meeting in Umuahia in July.
