Otti noted that Geometric Road, which was previously in poor condition, has now been transformed and is attracting industries and business opportunities.

He added that Afule Road was constructed as a strategic bypass to reduce pressure on the Aba–Owerri Road, while Adaelu Road demonstrated the speed and efficiency of the project teams handling the developments.

The governor also announced the flag-off of the first phase of the 4.9-kilometre Aba Ring Road project under the Greater Aba Development Authority.

He said the ring road project would help decongest the Aba metropolis, improve access to neighbouring states including Akwa Ibom State and Cross River State, and further drive urban renewal and economic expansion.

Otti stated that the projects were executed with attention to quality, including proper drainage systems, street lighting and durable construction standards.

“As we mark three years in office, these projects are proof of growth and progress, opening new pathways to prosperity for our people. Aba is rising, and together we are shaping the future Abia deserves,” he said.
