The leadership of United Abia Artistes and Patriots (UAAP) has described the Abia Industrial Innovation Park (AIIP) project at Owaza, in Ukwa West Council of the state, as a revolutionary project that will reposition the economy of Abia. 

Governor Alex Otti flagged off the project on Saturday.

Speaking at the sideline of the project launch, the Convener of UAAP, Amb. Osita Offor, ‘Ultimate Commander,’ said that UAAP is extremely happy that Otti is doing everything to turnaround the fortunes of the state, to place Abia in its rightful position within the comity of states in Nigeria.  

Offor said: “This is what the people of the state have been expecting. The governor has displayed outstanding ingenuity in just about four months on the saddle. He has shown that leadership is not rocket science, but an application of knowledge, capacity and teamwork. This AIIP project is exceptional, and you can see that captains of industry are all present here, giving credibility to the project.  

“This project, when completed, will employ thousands of Abia youths, and based on what the governor has assured us, the project will encourage a high level of local content participation.

The governor is obviously repositioning the state for massive investment and economic growth.”

UAAP urged the governor to make sure that timelines are kept so that the people can quickly start enjoying the dividends of democracy.
