Bola Tinubu's Visit to Abia State: "$1.3 Billion Abia Medical City" Ahead!
Bola Tinubu to inaugurate Aba Road, unveil $1.3 billion Abia Medical City prior to May 29 - Governor Otti (rephrased)
Get ready, Abia State! President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to drop by before May 29. And why should you be jacked? He's gonna inaugurate the refurbished Port Harcourt Road in Aba town and kick off the ambitious $1.3 billion Abia Medical City project.
Governor Alex Otti divulged this juicy tidbit during a late-night gabfest with the media. He said the 6.5-kilometer major road, jazzed up by Julius Berger, is all wrapped up and will soon be passed on to the Ministry of Works.
You might wonder why we're gabbing about this. Well, this vital infrastructure started taking shape shortly after Otti steered the ship back in 2023. The contract, initially slated for a two-year timeline, was expected to finish by now.
But that's not all, folks! Before the stemwinder, President Tinubu will break ground on the Abia Medical City, a cornerstone project of Otti's administration. This bad boy is designed to quash the annoying trend of medical tourism abroad, aiming to become a key referral center across West Africa. It's projected to churn out a cool $200 million per year for the state.
Moving on to healthcare reforms, Otti announced that 103 out of 200 Primary Health Centers across the state are nearing completion (70% done!). He pledged that all 900 health centers will be revamped, with bonus support from the World Bank for an additional 68 facilities.
In the buzzing world of healthcare, the government has endorsed the recruitment of fresh health care workers to fill vacancies, with salary provisions made to overcome shortages.
Moving on to the educational front, Governor Otti celebrated the triumph of his administration's free and mandatory basic education policy. The enrolment figures are skyrocketing and now stand at a whopping 700,000. To keep pace with the soaring demand, the state is on a hiring spree, snatching up 4,000 additional teachers, in addition to the 5,000 already in the queue. Special attention is being lavished on science, math, and technology education.
To address niggling issues over unpaid pensions for retired staff of Abia State University, the Governor claimed ignorance and delegated the Commissioner for Tertiary Education to look into it and give a report.
Before wrapping up, Governor Otti commended the Abians for their backing and reaffirmed his administration's commitment to delivering more groundbreaking milestones soon.
So, sit tight, Abia State! Exciting times are in the pipeline!
