Abia State Governor, Alex Otti has said his administration will bring down the dilapidated government house buildings in Umuahia before the end of December 2024 and transform them.

Governor Alex Otti disclosed this at the Arochukwu LGA headquarters on Saturday while commissioning some projects executed by the Mayor of Arochukwu LGA, Joe Eze-Aru.

Governor Otti explained that he has not been operating from the government house in Umuahia because of the dilapidated nature of the buildings.

“Today, l am not operating from the government house in Umuahia because there is no government house. Everywhere is dilapidated and decayed. The option would have been to use the money I used to pay pensioners to begin to retrofit the government house. But, I felt that we could operate from anywhere while doing the most important things first.

“And I am proud to report that before the end of this year, we are going to break down those dilapidated buildings and we’ll put up structures that are befitting for our people who are enlightened like Abia people.” Gov. Otti stated.
