The Governor confirmed that despite challenges of funding, the new Government House would be accorded the priority it deserves to ensure its completion. He declared that abandoning the project was not an option for the state government.

in a related development, Governor Ikpeazu has directed the state Ministry of Works, and Abia State Road Maintenance Agency (ABROMA) to ensure the immediate execution of palliative maintenance work at bad portions of Aba Road, Ikot Ekpene Road and Isi Gate areas of Umuahia pending the full mobilization of contractors to work on the roads. The Governor said this is to ease the challenges faced by commuters along those road within the state capital and assured that contractors have already been mobilized to complete Aba Road project and others within the state capital.
