Welcoming the team at his country home in Umuehim, Nvosi, Isialangwa South, Dr Otti expressed his gratitude at the visit and told his guests that Abia will be willing to partner with the telecoms giant.

Particularly of interest to the Governor-Elect is the empowerment of SMEs, where the renowned economist and top banker had already set up cooperatives across the 17 local government areas of the state.

The incoming Abia State governor had during the campaigns promised to empower small businesses through the granting of interest-free loans to Abians engaged in various trades and agriculture as part of his plans to create wealth in the state.
