In a bid to enhance governance through community engagement, the Abia State government participated in a Town Hall meeting in Ohafia. The session, which took place within the Abia North Senatorial District, included representatives from Arochukwu, Ohafia, Bende, Isuikwuato, and Umunneochi Local Government Areas (LGAs).
The town hall meeting therefore provided an opportunity for Governor Alex Otti to extend gratitude to the people of Abia North for their support.
