Governor Alex Otti is intentional 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 unaccredited 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 is a good sight to behold and makes 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 of arrears of salaries left by the immediate past administration are 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, and 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 fountains have been upgraded and Traffic Lights are currently being installed at major junctions and interchanges in Aba and Umuahia.

The city is being transformed to wear the look of a modern capital city. Abia Specialist Hospital and Diagnostic Center has been upgraded for quality service delivery.
There is ongoing Reconstruction of Umuahia to Arochukwu Highway to reconnect the hitherto cut-off and abandoned Abia North Zone back to the State. Isiukwuato and Umunneochi LGAS are not left out as strategic Roads have either been procured, awarded or under reconstruction.
