Let's Explore ABA || Abia State Nigeria || Governor Alex Otti Is Changing The Face Of Enyimba City

The City of Aba is wearing a new look as most of the dilapidated roads in the city as been reconstructed by the Alex Otti led administration after being abandoned for years.
Aba is a city in the southeast of Nigeria and the commercial center of Abia State. Upon the creation of Abia state in 1991, Aba was divided into two local government areas; Aba South and Aba North. It is located on the Aba River. Aba is made up of many villages such as; Aba-Ukwu, Eziukwu-Aba, Obuda-Aba, Umuokpoji-Aba and other villages from Ohazu merged due to administrative convenience. Aba was established by the Ngwa clan of Igbo people of Nigeria as a market town and then later a military post was placed there by the British colonial administration] in 1901. It lies along the west bank of the Aba River, and is at the intersection of roads leading to Port Harcourt, Owerri, Umuahia, Ikot Ekpene, and Ikot-Abasi.

Aba has been under rated for so long,it's about time it takes its rightful place as a mega city in Nigeria.

[@outravelandtour]

The city needs more investors... It will get there.

[@LabaraNdonia]

Aba is gradually getting there. Please ask them to launch the CLEAN & GREEN campaign with massive cleaning and tree planting as soon as possible. Also create bus stops and restrict keke on some roads especially where there are railway crossings.

[@outravelandtour]

I hope the people in government see your comment... The Clean and Green Campaign in really needed.

[@kalukalus3292]

The need to plant trees to make the town look better

[@Lieu_Tenant_Gambit]

Our people so brainwashed o. They see tree go am village. Abeg when village be bad thing?

[@Lieu_Tenant_Gambit]

Fruit trees (papaya, banana, mango etc.) Govment like to plant things you can't eat and no shade

[@IgweChukwuemekaCharles-nw1pm]

I don't know why Aba is bedore now underated and talk down on, whereas some state in Nigeria, North and west can't even come close when it comes to the level of development obtained here. Kudos to this great city

[@Townie-oe1qb]

In terms of development, northern Nigeria is ahead. Let's hope Aba and other South Eastern states get there soon.

[@RadioTV595]

@@Townie-oe1qb `v Please unpack your statement and tell us what areas they are ahead so we all can learn.

[@Southernview3k]

​@@Townie-oe1qb Was it infrastructural development or what exactly do you mean?

[@AnnoyedDahliaFlower-dg9pz]

​@@Townie-oe1qbLol apart from Abuja, Lagos and portharcourt no other states can be compared to South East in development, mind u this is not the capital the capital is Umuahia, this is just a commercial city that is very far from the capital. From Aba to the capital is almost like from Aba to portharcourt.

[@solvemymathassignments8951]

​@@RadioTV595what major federal government infrastructures do we have in South East ? Plant Mills, aviation schools, sea ports, railways, etc ?

[@OkwudiliOkekearu]

The city looks clean, imagine how it will look like in the next 8 years of governor otti.

[@outravelandtour]

Exactly 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@jonexglobal4862]

The Vibes makes the beautiful video looks like Newyork city in 80s 🥰🥰🥰

[@Moviesky380]

Same thought

[@AnkwaghMaurice]

Good one, but they should plant trees, cover the drainages and clear the sand on the roads👌9ja will get there one day.

[@outravelandtour]

Yes, you are right.. It won't be an easy something especially that of tree planting.

[@goodman4093]

😅😅😅. Sorry Nigeria can't develop. Go to Angola see how roads are glossy and are tarred to your doorstep

[@AnkwaghMaurice]

@@goodman4093 u are just a meddling brat, u are not invited here. Face ur developed unknown country.

[@judeezeala2008]

Ebonyi has had it's share of developmental strides under Gov. Umahi . It remains Imo,Anambra and Enugu though Enugu had a good past which it is still relishing.

[@ajazubi9164]

I think the governor is more concerned in road construction first to achieve 80% of good roads in the state first before other things.

[@EquityFairnessJustice]

That's Igbo Man number 2 that should be in Aso Rock! 💯👋When Nigeria is ready!!!

[@eotlati1763]

PDP really dealt a big blow to Abia state development, they wasted good over 24 years of the state resources. Anyway, late is better than never, thanks to Dr Otti the man of the year award who is reversing the time wasted .. God bless you , sir, I hope Imo, anambra, enugu and eboyn governors emulate you.

[@ObiIlona-od5fn]

Congratulations to Aba, the Enyimba City, Aba should rejoice but Aba needs to take responsibility. This is the second time in my sixty year lifetime that a governor has focused and poured money into Aba. Mbakwe did it in the 1980s, Otti is currently doing it. I hope Aba elects a City Mayor or the Local Government Chairman will start living up to their responsibilities. Aba needs to be maintained and kept, it shows not be allowed to run down again where it needs a total rebuild. If done right Aba will emerge as a mega economic city in Africa not just Nigeria. Congratulations and Good luck to Aba the Enyimba City.

[@yummydishes2279]

I will so much love them to ban Keke and introduce a cleaner and modern transportation system

[@outravelandtour]

For now, I don't think that's what Aba needs.

[@yummydishes2279]

@@outravelandtour not in the entire city but in some congested areas.

[@templekanu6740]

Keep looks bad on the road but people need to feed themselves and their families

[@onyiiilo378]

me too! I hate seeing keke in Nigerian videos!!

[@ajazubi9164]

It is not easy to ban keke in a commercial city .,it is like banning keke in Lagos or Onitsha ,it will affect business activities

[@mathewogbuji8776]

Thank God for the Governor the next thing is to fix traffic light and tree planting along the roads.

[@LoonieGoon3r]

Kudos to Gov. Alex Otti for the amazing improvements of Abia State so far. The power lines criss-crossing streets & roads isn't a good look though. Maybe it's the background music but the drive through the city makes it look like a Chinese City in one those 1970s-1980s Jackie Chang movies 😁

[@Adcon2]

They need to cover the gutters and they need to employ sweepers to help keep the roads clean. I can see a lot of sand on the roads.

[@ikeokorie8076]

One step at a time. All that will be done.

[@outravelandtour]

One step at a time.... I know we all want everything to change at ones but it's a gradual process.

[@kensburg2660]

Some parts were covered tho around 4:32 upward, it’s covered more like underground drainage just that it’s not kept clean and it should be covered everywhere

[@AndRoid-km7qr]

Wow Aba so beautiful 😍

[@azubuikezuby5339]

Aba is shining

[@childrentoys4537]

Those open drainages/gutters needs to be covered, so that alternately, they become walkways for pedestrians.Also, this is what is expected to be found in a city.

[@ajazubi9164]

The road connectivity in Aba is very impressive

[@cjholding8915]

As you take your viewers on a tour, it is necessary that you explain or introduce the roads, buildings and areas of Aba covered. Good job but you need to improve.

[@Odymobile]

other bad roads is bringing in sand to the already built one haba

[@ezinwo1961]

Who will be the first Igbo multi billionaire or businessnaire or intellectual giant that will build a skyscraper even one to start off with in Aba, Owerri, Onitsha or or or

[@outravelandtour]

🤔🤔🤔

[@Ejiki-ln1tj]

Many Igbo business magu have skycraper such as nest oil , ABC ojiakor Sam eke and so many others in Lagos and Abuja and now that Aba has gotten steady light will soon start getting them.

[@DarlingtonIyke]

I have said and will continue to say it....We need proper building planning in AlaIgbo... The 5 storey building is good but there has to be a planning to it....we dont want building just scattered everywhere.

[@igweonuoha1737]

Beautiful

[@outravelandtour]

Thank you🙌🏾

[@Southernview3k]

The video here look like scene of 1900.

[@outravelandtour]

🤣🤣🤣 Really 😲

[@judeezeala2008]

Because of the music? Well even at that it is reminiscent of good old days.

[@MajorrBison]

Too much chaos. It looks like a video of an old city with no traffic light. Everyone just doing their own thing. There is more work to be done.

[@johnybeks]

A concrete jungle like most Nigerian cities and towns. Reason I admire cities like Abuja and Enugu, I don't know if there's any Nigerian city generally greener and more aesthetically pleasing than these two.

[@nkereuwem1]

This is Umuahia. If u have not been inside the city, please don't say anything. I've been there and I know Umuahia is beautiful. What the city was lacking was good roads. Now that Alex has become the governor, I know he'll impact positive development in the place. The people are also loving, friendly, and kind. These are what u don't about some Igbo.

[@AnnoyedDahliaFlower-dg9pz]

This is not Umuahia this is Aba, I grew up in Aba I know all these roads, Umuahia is more beautiful than Aba.

[@donkelz1043]

We need some traffic lights and the sands on the road needs to be cleaned out.kudos to otti

[@tailordafrik2682]

You for de add names of the streets nwanne.

You are right but i don't know Aba that much.... I don't live in Aba.

The background music is not good

[@just.fisayo]

No buses? For a highy populated area, there has to be buses or a mass transit system.

[@MyTBoyOnyema]

Maybe they recorded it on Monday which is a sit at home. There will be no buses

[@donpetemounini7390]

I knew it can't be done all at once but please my dear Governor Otti try to provide Zebra Crossing on all the road junctions and also Footparts on each side of the roads, it's an eye sour seeing black people sharing vehichle Lanes with Automobile!
