Governor Alex Otti is intentional and deliberate about access to quality Healthcare delivery in the State. On assumption of office, the Governor prioritized the Upgrading and Reaccreditation of Abia State University Teaching Hospital (ABSUTH) which was deaccredited during the last administration.
The Governor Rehabilitated, Reconstructed and Constructed all access Roads, Streets and Points leading and connecting to the Teaching Hospital. The interconnectivity of Roads and Access Points are good sight to behold and make accessibility to ABSUTH Seamless. The following interventions can best be described as ABSUTH Access Ecosystem: University Road, College Road, Green Avenue, Shalom Road, Umuodu Road, Umuimo Road, Udeagbala Road created access to the Teaching Hospital from Afule Market, MCC Junction, Osisioma Flyover, and Udeagbala Bypass. Healthcare Professionals and Support Staff working in ABSUTH are sure of their Salaries before the end of every Month and the Hospital is currently hiring more hands. The over 2 years arrears of salaries left by the immediate past administration is being defrayed by Governor Otti.
ALL THE ABOVE IS OPEN FOR VERIFICATION AND A CONFIRMATION VISIT IS ADVISED.
The Strategic Ohanku Road, Port-Harcourt Road, Omuma Road, Ekeakpara-Osisioma Road, Obiohia Road are currently undergoing Reconstruction in Aba. Tens of Roads have been rehabilitated and many more are undergoing rehabilitation. There is zero tolerance for Potholes to ease movement around the City. Roundabouts with water fountain have been upgraded and Traffic Lights are currently being installed at major junctions and interchange in Aba and Umuahia.
