Gov Otti emphasised that his administration continues to be led by divine guidance and public trust.
He added that governance is a sacred responsibility.
He said “It is a privilege to serve our people and I personally see leadership as service and leadership as stewardship.
“Anytime you take away stewardship from leadership, it becomes self-serving, because for us, this is about stewardship,”
Key Projects in Umahia
Furthermore, he listed key projects ongoing including the proposed five-star hotel, Umuahia Township Stadium and Amachara Specialist Hospital.
He said: “The transformation of Umuahia is at an infant stage; it is just starting and we have clearly set out in our minds what we want Umuahia to look like.
“We are not comparing ourselves with anybody. We do not want Umuahia to look like Dubai; we want it to look like Umuahia.
