Governor Theodore Orji of Abia State has been commended
for the role he played in ensuring that residents of the state capital
enjoyed constant power supply.
Umuahia and its environs had been in darkness following the non-completion of the Ohiya sub-station.
This has been a source of concern to residents,
particularly cold room owners, who claim to have lost millions of naira
to prolonged power outage in the area.
But following the completion of the sub-station which is
now being test-run, residents of the area have been enjoying constant
power supply.
Successive administrations had struggled to realise the
project, which had been described as a major boost to constant power
supply in the state as a result of its strategic location.
Chief Eze Chikamnayo, the Special Adviser on Information
and Social Re-orientation to the Abia governor, said that the completion
of the power station was a result of the governor’s intervention.
Orji had on March 31 while inaugurating some projects in
Umuahia assured the people that power supply in the state capital and
its environs would be boosted soon. The governor had said that the Ohiya sub-station was at the last lap of completion and would be commissioned at a later date.
“The intervention of the governor that resulted to the
timely completion of this project is a clear indication that he wants to
give the best to the people,” Chikamnayo said. He said the state government was determined to enhance the
welfare of the residents of the state through infrastructural
development.
The former commissioner for information said that projects started by the current administration would be completed on schedule. Chikamnayo said the Ubani Ibeku modern market,
international conference centre, new state secretariat complex and
sundry road projects in the state were clear testimony of the governor’s
vision. “The government will not be distracted as it is poised to
leaving enduring legacies in line with globally accepted democratic
principles,” Chikamnayo said.
