Abia State Governor Alex Otti has announced that his administration will demolish the dilapidated government house buildings in Umuahia before the end of December 2024 and initiate a transformation of the premises.
Governor Otti made this disclosure at the Arochukwu Local Government Area (LGA) headquarters on Saturday during the commissioning of projects executed by the Mayor of Arochukwu LGA, Joe Eze-Aru.
Governor Otti explained that he has not been operating from the government house in Umuahia due to the deteriorated state of the buildings.
Otti stated, “Today, l am not operating from the government house in Umuahia because there is no government house. Everywhere is dilapidated and decayed. The option would have been to use the money I used to pay pensioners to begin to retrofit the government house. But, I felt that we could operate from anywhere while doing the most important things first.
“And I am proud to report that before the end of this year, we are going to break down those dilapidated buildings and we’ll put up structures that are befitting for our people who are enlightened like Abia people,” Otti added.
The Governor emphasized that the projects executed by the council Mayor align with his administration’s vision for Abia State. He noted that his administration prioritizes excellence in all sectors, including health and road infrastructure.
In his speech, Mayor Joe Eze-Aru remarked that the Arochukwu council headquarters had been in a dilapidated state before its renovation.
