The Governor and Visitor to Abia State University Uturu (ABSU), Dr Alex Otti OFR, on Sunday, 23rd March 2025, paid a visit to the University for an on-the-spot assessment of infrastructural facilities in the Institution and promised to build a 5000-capacity hostel as well as retrofit the existing ones.

The Governor who made the promise at the University Hostel A, expressed disgust at the level of decay and apologized to students for the neglect by past administrations on their welfare and assured that work will commence immediately on renovating the hostels to make them conducive while the construction of the 5000 capacity hostel will commence in few months.

‘I am very happy to meet with you students today, but at the same time, I feel so sad to see the condition of the hostels where you live. I want to congratulate those of you who still manage to achieve success under these living conditions’ the Governor added.

The Governor also promised that cafeterias will be built around the hostels while the construction of the new faculty buildings for Law and Agriculture in Uturu will also commence soon as promised.

Earlier, during a courtesy visit in his office before the commencement of the inspection of facilities, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ndukwe J. Okeudo, described the Governor as God sent, adding that the visit to ABSU shows his commitment to march words with action in his determination to build the new University of our dreams.

The Chief of staff to the Governor, Pastor Caleb Ajagba and other Government officials accompanied the Governor to the visit, while the entire complement of the University management and others were on hand to join them.

The high point of the visit was the Governor’s interaction with the excited students at Hostel A and others who gathered to cheer the Governor for the historic visit to the University.
