Abia to Secure 80 Megawatts of Power for Umuahia – Otti

Gov. Alex Otti of Abia says the State Government has entered into negotiations with the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company to secure 80 megawatts of power for Umuahia.

Otti said this during an interdenominational thanksgiving service organised by the government to celebrate the governor’s one year in office at the International Conference Center, Umuahia.

He affirmed his administration’s commitment to foster economic growth and improve the overall quality of life for the people.

He said: “We are trying to solve the problem of power in Umuahia as we continue our negotiations with EEDC. When we achieve maximum output, we will have not less than 80 megawatts of power willed to Umuahia that will serve the city.

“It is doable and by the end of the year, or early in the New Year, we would have achieved it. The governor thanked God for the opportunity given to him to serve Abia people and contribute to the development of the state.

He said that Abia Government under his watch would continue to do the right thing “irrespective of whose ox is gored”. He also gave assurance that he would not be distracted by the negative comments from the opposition.

Otti also acknowledged the pivotal role of religious leaders in advocating for change in the state as well as their unity, prayers and support.

He further promised that the principle of equity and fairness would be upheld in delivering democracy dividend to the people of Abia.

Earlier in a sermon, a clergyman, Rev. Uma Onwunta, said that God expects gratitude from His people and the governor’s action was a reflection of his commitment in thanking God. Onwunta urged Christians to dedicate themselves to God in thanksgiving.

He commended the governor for the significant progress made in the state within one year of his leadership. # Abia to Secure 80 Megawatts of Power for Umuahia – Otti #Financial Reporting in Hyper-Inflationary Condition Delays VFD Audited Report
