The Federal Government has authorized the Abia State Government to reconstruct and rehabilitate four critical road projects.

The projects include; Owerri-Umuaka Road
Onuigbo-Umuahia Road, Omezuo Bridge
Umuahia-Ikot Ekpene Road.

Minister of Works, David Umahi, conveyed President Bola Tinubu’s approval to Abia Governor Alex Otti, citing the initiative as a result of mutual understanding.


In a statement issued by the ministry, Umahi commended Otti’s proactive approach to fixing failed federal roads and encouraged other governors to follow suit.

The projects had stalled due to funding constraints, but with this development, Abia State will complete the works.


Responding, Otti appreciated the president for granting him approval to fund the projects to completion, describing it as value addition to the good people of Abia State and Nigeria, in general.

He further disclosed that, ” this is not the first time that the State is intervening in the execution of the Federal Government’s projects, insisting that the end justifies the means.” said Otti.
