The Abia State College of Education, Technical, Arochukwu has secured accreditation for 24 of its courses that lost accreditation under the past administration.

Governor Otti, who broke the cheering news while speaking on his November edition of the monthly media chat, tagged; “Governor Otti Speaks to Abians” noted that the college is equally undergoing infrastructural turn around.

“If you have visited there recently, you will see the massive work going on, both on the roads, hostels, and lecture theatres including classrooms.

“The whole idea is to make it a ground for proper training of teachers”, Gov. Otti stated.

The Governor also announced that additional buildings have been completed at the permanent site of the Dr Ogbonnaya Onu Polytechnic Aba and would soon be commissioned.

The State Chief executive noted that the Ogbonnaya Onu Polytechnic Aba has been supportive of the State government in the area of producing ASEPA refuse buckets being used across the State.

“They (Ogbonnaya Onu) have been very supportive of some of the things we are doing here.

“You will be amazed that our students produce the buckets that the Ebonyi State Environmental Protection Agency uses.

“If you see a bucket around your neighbourhood, it was constructed by our students at Ogbonnaya Onu Polytechnic”, Otti stated.

He disclosed that, before the end of the year, “our electric buses that have started arriving in the state will be put on the road.

“And that will further crash the cost of transportation in the States.”

Otti revealed that his government has issued about 30,562 certificates of occupancy in the last two and a half years, which is unprecedented.

“Statistics show that there are some States that have not been able to issue that number in 8 years and beyond.

“The whole idea is to unlock the value that we are hitherto locked by the difficulty in issuing certificates of occupancy. We have automated the process”, Gov. Otti stated.
