Abia State Governor Alex Otti, visited Bola Tinubu in Lagos, emphasizing the need for accelerated efforts in completing the long-neglected Enugu-Umuahia-Aba-Port Harcourt Expressway.
Amidst economic challenges, He acknowledged Tinubu’s decisions, stating, “The President has been very courageous, unifying the exchange rate and removing fuel subsidy.” However, Otti also recognized the associated challenges, particularly for a nation where over 60% of the population lives below the poverty line.
Despite these challenges, He urged patience, emphasizing, “I believe that if we are patient and if we go through the policies without compromising, over time, things will turn around.” The governor’s optimism extends to Tinubu’s intervention in the reconstruction of the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, specifically the Aba segment.
