I am using Kalu’s infrastructure model to develop Abia’s state, says the governor Otti

The former governor of the State of Abia, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, who represents the Senatorial District of the North Abia in the Senate, received praisable praise from the governor in office of the state of the South-East, Alex Chioma Otti.

During the courtesy visit, Otti on Sunday evening, June 8, 2025, he recognized the enviable registers established in Abia and in all Abia by his predecessor, ORJI Kalu since 1999-2007. Otti without triggering words, he made public that Kalu’s model is what is using to develop ABA City and other parts of the state of Abia.

“The government and governance are a continuum, it can be broken but you have to go back and recover it,” said the governor. Otti noticed that Kalu has done an excellent job in the state and will borrow a leaf from the model.

The number one citizen of the state of Abia also stressed that his mother was an ardent and one of the firm supporters of Kalu when he was governor, remembering how he built the network of standard roads through ABA and did not stop using the model established by Kalu. “I can assure you that the model is not wrong. Solve the place that generates the revenue, the entrances will arrive and the uses to fix other places,” said Otti.

The mother of the governor Otti and the others before, inside and after his generation are very aware of the way Kalu did very well as a governor and had an impact on the life of the abections in education, agriculture, road infrastructures, trade, etc. “Kalu paid the teachers’ salaries because of the due, he provided free education, free buses and educational materials for students and pupils of Abia State. Commission of the University of Nigeria, Nuc.

“Kalu brought auxiliary professors of the University of Nigeria, NSUKKA to increase the workforce in ABSU. State -owned schools have never made an industrial strike for 8 years, he was governor.
“The teaching hospital of the State of Abia was built in ABA and was well equipped with cutting -edge equipment and consultants who were well rooted in what they do.” Kalu built the neighborhoods of the judges for the judges and made his life more comfortable than he met them. These and many others are the exceptional ways in which Kalu has used his security votes and has attracted so many changes in development in the state of Abia as governor “.

We remind you that Kalu became governor at the very young age of 39 years, arriving with the well -consolidated commercial mentality that issued knowledge to work that made him be recognized as a “governor of action” by the former president, Olonegun Obasanjo, who came to visit the state of Abia. After seeing the enormous transformations brought by Kalu, Obasanjo had no choice than praising Kalu for making very little allocations at that moment.

We also remember that previously during the commissioning of the ABA Integrated Power Project, Otti had recognized Kalu as the pioneer brain behind the ABA electrical network. This project was mainly led by Geometric Power Limited and involves a private property distribution company, ABA Power Limited Electric (APLE), authorized by the Nigerian electricity regulation commission. Governor Otti thought it was wise to refer to Kalu as a precursor of the ABA grid.

Kalu, as he spoke, described Otti as with whom he could not play politics and assured him to visit him every time he is in the state. Kalu told the Governor that he would be around his 2nd anniversary in office, but for President Bola Tinubu who had previously invited him to Lagos for his celebration to commemorate his two -year stay in charge.
