The Chairman of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, Dr Muhammed Shehu, has commended Governor Alex Otti for the prudent management of Abia State’s resources.
Shehu gave the commendation on Tuesday when he and members of the commission paid a courtesy visit to Governor Otti at the governor’s Nvosi office in Isiala Ngwa South Local Government Area of the state.
He said Otti’s achievements were evidence of his prudent management of the state’s resources, particularly his massive investments in road infrastructure and education, among others, which he said had significantly impacted the state.
Shehu said, “I am so glad that today I am able to make it, to see you here and to see all the developmental strides that you have taken and are still undertaking since you assumed office as the Executive Governor of this state.
“I wouldn’t hesitate to say that this state is blessed to have you as Governor. Every independent analyst will testify that this is the best, if not the best-governed state in Nigeria, and you are certainly the best among all those who have governed the state.”
The RMAFC chairman also acknowledged Otti’s efforts in primary healthcare, fiscal transparency and security, noting that the state’s improved fiscal performance and peaceful environment were indications of responsible governance.
He cited the state’s movement from 17th to fourth position in fiscal transparency, as well as the reduction in its debt profile, as significant achievements.
