At 2.11pm on Sunday, His Excellency, Governor Alex Otti, called. He asked me for the availability to coordinate a very important mission in our State. Quickly, I accepted and thanked him for his bigger “answers” to the Abia people. The government will be announcing later next month. Once that is done, I will share here and get all Abians and the world ready to execute. Abia Youth, great things are coming as His Excellency works to ensure that “everyone is ready and prepared for the future”.
Our state works on three core pillars: the People, the Processes, and the Tools. Many reforms have taken place to improve the processes, making it possible to efficiently organize and reorganize critical factors of production and governance systems. For example, in pension, the processes have been streamlined that the state will not owe a decade-long arears anymore. In education, the leaders have changed things to ensure better students-outcome.
When it comes to tools, the businesspeople and citizens need platforms of markets. And those are better roads, electricity, clean water, security, etc. The state is doing everything to ensure those catalytic enablers are available across Abia. Aba, the industrial city has received special attention because a working Aba will fund other parts of Abia. We do expect the tools of healthcare to come to live with the unveiling of the medical city.

On the People part, Abia needs evolutionary and revolutionary investments therein. A village boy like me will possibly not be writing here without that heritage. But when Abia decided to provide me with great teachers, Abia anchored my future. During my time in Secondary Technical School Ovim, I had the best teachers any state could offer its students: Shorthand, French, Automotive Tech, Woodwork Tech and the typical. Mr Onyezewe – Physics (UNN), Mr Aham – Math (UNN), Mr. Bobo – Biology (UI), Mr Udeagu Jr – Chemistry (OAU), Mr. Ukene – Further Maths (UNN), Mazi Oji – Geography (UNN), Mr Eke – English (UNN), Mr Onyeachu – Automotive Tech (Russia), Mrs Aduanya – Agric Science, Mrs Odumuko – Igbo (UNN), Mrs Ikeji – Agric Science (Jr), Papa Iyke – Igbo (ABSU), and other brilliant tutors.
Abia wants to deepen the capacity and the capability of the People. From primary to secondary, from vocational school to university, from special programs like Abia Leadership Academy to what is coming which I will be working on. We will serve; I will reach out here to many as you support Abia to serve Abians, Nigerians and the world.
#AbiaIsWorking #InvestInAbia #Believe
*Ndubuisi Ekekwe has never and will never charge my state for any service because Abia paid for everything when it funded and made those great teachers available. And Ndubuisi does not do contracts and does not know how to send invoices.
