October 04, (THEWILL) — President Bola Tinubu has commissioned the reconstructed and remodelled iconic Michael Okpara Auditorium in Umuahia, Abia state.
Speaking at the venue, the president, ably represented by the Minister of Works, David Umahi, lauded Governor Otti for the quality of work, as well as his commitment to infrastructural renewal across the state. He described the edifice as a miracle transformation.
He disclosed that the edifice is a befitting honour to the late Premier of the Eastern Region, Dr Michael Okpara, adding that he is happy that Okpara is being honoured.
“I’m told that we are going to be seeing wonders. Some are federal projects constructed by the Governor, others are state projects. But projects, whether they are federal or state, the important thing is to touch the lives of the people of our state”, the Minister disclosed.
The Minister, who sent greetings from President Tinubu, reiterated that the President was unavoidably absent due to the death of the mother of the APC National Chairman, whose burial will be held Saturday, October 4, 2025.
He disclosed that the President would personally visit the state later in December, adding that the number one citizen recognises South-East in national politics.
