Today, Governor Alex C. Otti visited the Government House complex in Umuahia to inspect the ongoing construction of a new Governorβs Office and Official Residence.
At the site, I met with engineers from Craneburg Construction Company, the firm handling the project, and together we reviewed the progress to ensure everything is on track with approved designs and standards.
I am pleased with the quality and pace of construction so far and have urged the contractors to sustain the momentum. The project, expected to be completed before the end of the year, is part of our broader effort to rebuild and modernize the Abia State Government House after years of neglect.
Already, we have delivered several key upgrades, including the renovated Deputy Governorβs Office, a brand-new Office for the Secretary to the State Government, and the remodeled Michael Okpara Auditorium, Protocol Building, Political Block Unit and Banquet Hall. Work is also ongoing on a modern Government House Clinic, a new Gate, and other supporting infrastructure.
Our goal is clear: to transform the seat of government into a functional, befitting, and modern administrative hub for the people of Abia State.
