Today, Governor Alex Otti will clock 100 days in office as the governor of Abia State, but rather than celebrate or commemorate it, the state Information Commissioner, Prince Okey Kanu, has said the day would not be marked with fanfare.

The Commissioner made this known while briefing journalists, yesterday, after a meeting of the State Executive Council on Monday.

He recalled that Otti had on assumption of office on May 29, 2023, “declared state of emergency on waste management, health, road infrastructure, education, among others and has, so far, done a lot in that regard, including security and public service reform.”

According to him, five roads in Aba, including Umuimo, Emelogu, Jubilee, Cemetery, Shallom and Obehie are due for commissioning.

On the distribution of Federal Government’s palliatives to the state, he said the N2 billion already disbursed to the state would be invested in transportation, adding that the state government would roll out its own palliatives after it is done with that of the Federal Government.

Commissioner for Health, Dr. Ngozi Okoronkwo, said three general hospitals undergoing renovations, one in each of the three senatorial zones, have been completed and awaiting commissioning, adding that the ongoing statewide free medical service is part of the palliatives.

Commenting on Otti’s first 100 days in office, a pensioner, Chief Kenechukwu Oha, commended him for embarking on payment of arrears.
