This accounts for why ministries and parastatals are scattered in Umuahia, the state capital, with some located in noisy environments not conducive for concentration to do proper planning and executing development initiatives. Indeed, Umuahia has remained until now a glorified town.
Indeed, the little development Abia has witnessed since creation gave Governor Theodore Orji serious concern upon his re-election hence his desire to effect a serious change. And today, the situation is changing.
Governor Orji is laying a foundation for the development of a viable Abia State. He has embarked on a mission to re-write the socio-economic history of the state.
Conducive work house
To engender efficient service delivery, the governor has started
building a multi-million Naira secretariat. That edifice is almost
completed and it is hoped that it will be commissioned early this year.The need for a befitting secretariat for the workers in the state cannot be over emphasized. It is unarguable that with good and conducive office environment, the workers would put in their best thereby contributing effectively towards the development of the state.
International conference centre
Besides the secretariat and the new government house, Orji's
government has also commenced the building of an international
conference centre which is also nearing completion. The centre which
will also serve as a tourist centre is expected to attract not only
Nigerians from other parts of the country but also foreigners.
Rebuilding Umuahia
Also, Orji recently laid the foundation stone for a new multi-million
Naira Government House at Ogube Layout, where modern Umuahia as a
capital city is being relocated. According to him, work would commence
this month after the State House of Assembly would have passed a law
authorizing the relocation.
