Abia state governor, Dr. Alex Otti, Friday inaugurated his maiden 19 – member State Executive Council recently appointed and screened by the State House of Assembly by swearing in his commissioners. Three out of the 19 commissioners were yet to be cleared by the State House of Assembly but would be sworn-in later. He said they were not appointed to represent the interest of individuals or clan but that of the entire State. The State Chief Executive, who congratulated the Commissioners on their appointments, urged the them to work together to rebuild Abia State, urged them not to betray the trust of the people by towing the path that had left Abia in a state of underdevelopment. Ikechukwu Uwanna thanked the Governor for the honour done them and pledged to discharge their duties to the best of their abilities.
