President Bola Tinubu is expected in Abịa State this month to commission the Port Harcourt Federal Road in Aba, nearing reconstruction by the state government.

His visit comes after former president Olusegun Obasanjo performed a similar action on the 46.4 kilometres Umuahia-Akara-Abiriba Road, also reconstructed by the government last month.

Governor Alex Otti announced this on Wednesday in Umuahia, the state capital, during his monthly media briefing for April, entitled “Governor Alex Otti speaks to Abians”.

“I hope that the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria will do us the honour of coming to commission the road like he had indicated earlier,” the governor noted.

He said the president would also flag off the construction of the proposed $1.3bn Abia Medical City during the visit, which he described as his istration’s flagship programme.

According to the governor, the establishment of the facility is expected to save Nigerians billions of dollars from foreign medical tourism and transport costs.

His words: “Those of you who have been paying attention, you know that we have been at the medical city project since 2023,” Otti further explained.

“Assembling the task force or the committee that will work on it, getting a model that works on it, getting partnerships, and most importantly, sourcing the funding. I am glad to report that it is now in place.

“We have signed up a ‘Build-Operate-Transfer Model’. We have also upgraded with a partner who has experience and who is bringing the funding. We have seen the colour of the money.

“Before now, people with some form of complicated ailments faced India and the rest of the world, where statistics show that on an annual basis, we spend over $2bn on medical tourism.”

Therefore, he observed that the state would not be greedy: “If we get 10% of that on an annual basis, that would be $200 million, which would be sufficient to run that centre.”

All the Governors love Mr President.

In a free and fair election, governors have ONE vote. Kicking Tinubu out is a task Nigerians must accomplish!

And so what?

Will that stop ebinpawakalisim?

Invitation for commissioning of project is not an endorsement for candidacy.

First, you have to kick out the delusion in your head.

Mr President will be commissioning projects in Anambra and Abia, he had commissioned some projects in Enugu earlier. When Kalu says the President will get 70% of SE votes in 2027, maybe we should take it seriously.

-Kiss the truth!

Ibos just have a president that is deliberate in turning their lives for good.

Odua heroes flagging off handworks of dot-nationals in the land of tiny nation.

Next please

The medical center and state own hospital you have, how far have you gone or done for that one, another avenue to siphon,

This people don't mean well for us as swear forget the affiliation
You want to build medical city so to attract people travelling abroad ok.
How does it help the masses when the already built one still lack all amenities

Commissioning projects is endorsement?

Because he made more money available to them. No state governor is owing salaries again

Useless hungry man.. u manage to get data, soon u will go off

Welcome to the SE ThuvB.

I respect the office of the president. Whoever occupies it has to earn his personal respect from me.

By commissioning roads?

Una rankadede mentality defies gumption.

Tinubu needs to visit Abia to witness what real leadership looks like, where a governor delivers visible results and projects in just two years.

This stands in stark contrast to peddling lies, falsehoods, and propaganda about supposedly building Lagos from scratch, being a so-called 'Lagos blueprint builder,' becoming president, and then implementing wicked and draconian policies masquerading as economic reforms that ruin the country and run it aground.

President Bola Tinubu is expected in Abịa State this month to commission the Port Harcourt Federal Road in Aba, nearing reconstruction by the state government.

Dear PBAT,

Rather than your handlers tell you the hard truth about all this your gallivanting trips sir, it's better you sit down and address the main issue.

The President should have touched down in Benue, Plateau and Borno as over 150 people were murdered in cold blood when you were in during different attacks especially during their sleep.

All these commissioning of projects that have not commenced are insensitive and a huge distraction.

It's your choice PBAT.

Good 👍

Finally. This is good news

I wish u guys listen to Rufai interview with Alex Otti about Tinubu government...
