“It is doable and by the end of the year, or early in the new year, we would have achieved it.”
Mr Otti said the Abia government under his watch would continue to do the right thing “irrespective of whose ox is gored,” he added.
In spite of criticism, the governor reiterated his commitment to making choices that are in the best interests of the general population. He gave his word that his administration would not let criticism get in the way of its goals.
