The state Chief Executive recalled the poor state of infrastructure and declining economic activities he inherited in Aba, noting that the situation has changed significantly since his administration assumed office.

He said the growing demand for

accommodation and other services in Aba indicated that economic activities are picking up, adding that the opportunities created by the ongoing transformation are yet to be fully explored.

Also speaking, the Mayor of Aba North Local government area Mr Timothy Iheke, commended the governor for his efforts to create a conducive environment for investment and economic activities, noting that the improving business climate has increased investors interest in Aba with its attendant rise values of property.

The Chief Executive Officer of Oris Signature Hotel, Owelle Greg Okafor thanked Governor Otti for allowing God to use him to change the Infrastructural narratives of the state, pointing out that the second term of Governor Otti would be more of project Commissioning.
