Hon. Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji as Speaker.
The lawmakers during the inspection appreciated the Speaker for being a true leader by giving the Chambers of the State House of Assembly a 21st Century touch.
A critical look at the work so far shows that the Chambers now has 88 numbers of 18 watts LED lights, steel rails adorning the staircases,, functional toilets, POP ceilings with the walls expertly screeded. Also, the rugs inside the Chambers have been changed from green to red in line with what is obtainable in other Houses of Assembly and differentiate it from Legislative Houses at the Local Government level.

Nnamdi Allen, the Minority Leader of the Abia State House of Assembly, Hon.
