GOVERNOR OTTI INSPECTS ONGOING CONSTRUCTION OF NEW GOVERNOR’S OFFICE, OFFICIAL RESIDENCE
Abia State Governor, His Excellency, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, on Saturday, June 6, 2026, inspected the ongoing construction of the new Governor’s Office and Official Residence at the Government House Complex in Umuahia.
The Governor was received at the project site by engineers from Craneburg Construction Company, the firm handling the construction.
During the inspection, he undertook a detailed assessment of the work completed so far and engaged the project team on key aspects of the construction to ensure strict adherence to the approved design and quality standards.
Governor Otti expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of the work, commending the contractor for the progress achieved and urging them to sustain the momentum to ensure the project’s completion before the end of the year.
The new Governor’s Office and Official Residence are part of the ongoing transformation and modernization of the Abia State Government House, an initiative aimed at rebuilding critical state infrastructure that had suffered years of neglect.
Under the Government House renewal programme, several landmark projects have already been completed, including the renovation and retrofitting of the Deputy Governor’s Office, the construction of a new Office of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), and the remodeling and upgrade of the Michael Okpara Auditorium, the Protocol Building, and the Banquet Hall.
Other ongoing projects within the Government House complex include the construction of a modern Government House Clinic, a new Government House Gate, and other supporting infrastructure designed to create a more functional, efficient, and befitting seat of government for Abia State.
The inspection underscores the Otti administration’s commitment to delivering durable public infrastructure and creating a modern administrative environment that meets the needs of effective governance.
