Abia State Government has announced plans to commission and flag off a total of 55 projects across the State in the coming weeks as part of its massive social transformation agenda.
The Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu, revealed this on Monday, while briefing Journalists on the outcome of the Executive Council Meeting presided over by Governor Alex Otti.
Prince Kanu stated that the move is in line with Governor Otti’s promise to accelerate development in the State following his administration’s second anniversary.
“We will witness an unprecedented commissioning of projects in the State. From all indications in the next few weeks, a total number of 55 projects will either be commissioned or flagged off.
“A breakdown shows that 42 projects will be commissioned, while 13 new projects will be flagged off.
“This brings the number to a total of 55 in all. You would agree with me that this is quite unprecedented to say the least. In one fell swoop to commission or flag off this number of projects.
“This is more than an eloquent testimony of the massive transformational projects of the state government, ably led by Dr. Alex Otti, have been able to birth in the states in the past two years”, he said.
The Commissioner who further gave a breakdown of the events, noted that the projects include 17 Primary Healthcare Centers, one in each of the 17 LGAs, 14 roads, and other key infrastructure projects under various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) including the Ministries of Power, Public Utilities, Lands and Housing, Trade and Commerce, as well as the Greater Aba Development Authority (GADA) and Greater Ohafia Development Authority.
“In the next few days, the dates, locations, and venues for these events will be made available to the media and to the public”, he added.
