By NewsCritic Reporters

Abia State born entrepreneur and philanthropist, Chief Chris Akachukwu Nwa-Abia has felicitated with the government and people of Abia State on her 32-years anniversary celebration since the creation of the State, saying that this period calls for retrospection by stakeholders on how to move the state forward.

Chief Chris Nwa-Abia who is also the Founder of Team Nwa-Abia Movement, a non-partisan group that is at the forefront of advocacy campaign for a paradigm shift towards leadership and governance in Abia State, commended Abia founding fathers for their sacrifices and efforts in the creation of Abia State.

In a press release issued in Umuahia the Abia State capital in celebration of Abia at 32, Chief Chris Nwa-Abia observed that Abia is still crawling at 32, adding that the present status of Abia does not reflect in a federating unit that was created 32 years ago.

He is of the opinion that it would require the concerted efforts of Abia businessmen and professionals, who have excelled in their various fields of human endeavour and profession to come home and help the present government to build the Abia of our dreams. 

Nwa-Abia, however, urged the Gov Alex Otti led government to create the enabling environment that will attract Abia businessmen and others to invest in the state, maintaining that the right environment is key.

He said that he trusts Gov Otti as someone who came from the private sector background to put adequate measures in place that will encourage investments and stimulate economic activities in the state.

Said he “I want to state it categorically that Abia has not lived up to the expectations as God’s Own State rather the state has continued to move on a downward trajectory over the years. I strongly believe that the coming of Gov Otti is going to be remarkable in so many ways, both in terms of infrastructural development and economic activities. I urge the people to support him to deliver on his mandate.
