Abia Commission Landmark Nnenna Oti Bus Terminal Umuahia :
It is my pleasure to announce the official commissioning of the Nnenna Oti Bus Terminal in Umuahia, now open for public use.
This modern multimodal transport hub can accommodate over 340 buses and features sustainable infrastructure, including independent power and water systems. It integrates with Abia State’s growing fleet of electric buses, with 20 already in operation.
The terminal is named in honour of Prof. Nnenna Nnannaya Oti, the INEC Returning Officer who demonstrated courage and integrity during the 2023 Abia governorship election. Her name symbolises a tribute to all who defended democracy against intimidation.
I commend the contractors, Planet Projects Limited, for their quality delivery, as well as the Commissioner for Transport, Dr Chimezie Ukaegbu, SSA Transport, Dr Obioma Nwaogbe, and their team.
I urge residents and the host community to take ownership of the facility, maintain cleanliness, and prevent vandalism. I also call on all Abians to pay their taxes regularly, as collective responsibility is key to sustaining development.
Together, we are raising the bar for a modern, safe, and sustainable Abia.
