During his monthly live broadcast on Radio and TV from Government House in Umuahia on Friday, the Governor clarified that the committee’s report did not find evidence of theft or mismanagement of public funds by Okoronkwo, despite public rumors.

Addressing concerns about salary reductions for some Abia workers, the Governor denounced the actions as criminal and urged those affected to provide evidence to the Commissioner for Information or the Accountant General for further investigation.

On security matters, Governor Otti praised the security agencies for their efforts, noting an improvement in the state’s safety. Additionally, he announced an increase in the retirement age for nurses from 60 to 65 years starting next week and clarified that his administration would not proceed with transferring civil servants to teaching positions as previously planned.
