"The construction of these faculty buildings is a key step in transforming ABSU into a world-class institution. We are committed to providing the necessary infrastructure to support academic excellence and create an enabling environment for students and lecturers,"Governor Otti stated during the site marking ceremony.
The ABSU management and students have welcomed this development with enthusiasm, expressing optimism that the new structures will enhance learning, research, and professional training within the university.
Governor Otti's visit to ABSU reflects his administration's broader agenda to prioritize education and bridge the infrastructure gap in tertiary institutions across Abia State. With this latest move, expectations are high that more development projects will follow, reinforcing the state government's commitment to educational advancement.
As construction preparations commence, stakeholders remain hopeful that these projects will be delivered efficiently, setting a new benchmark for university infrastructure development in Nigeria.
