The Abia State Government has successfully completed Phase 1 of its electricity restoration project within the Abia State University Uturu campus, bringing light back to several key areas.
Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu who disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday explained that the first phase of the power project has restored electricity to various sections of the campus, a move he described as “a significant achievement in improving the learning and living environment for ABSU students.”
He added that Phase 2 of the power restoration effort would commence once formal approval is secured, noting that the project is part of the wider agenda of the Otti-led administration to reposition educational infrastructure in Abia State.
In a related development, Prince Kanu confirmed that the renovation of hostels at ABSU is progressing steadily. According to him, all electrical and plumbing installations have been completed, and final touches are currently being applied.
He assured that the refurbished hostel facility would be officially handed back to the university management “very soon.”
This progress follows recent efforts by the state government to improve tertiary education infrastructure, including road access, digital resource upgrades, and partnerships with international institutions.
Governor Otti’s administration had earlier reiterated his commitment to restoring dignity in public institutions and delivering practical results that directly impact lives.
