Governor Alex Otti Renames Abia State Polytechnic

Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has renamed the Abia State Polytechnic after the first elected civilian governor of old Abia State,
Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu.

The institution will now be known as Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu Polytechnic, Aba.

The development was announced at the International Conference Centre, Umuahia, during an inter-denominational service held in Dr Onu’s honour.

Governor Otti described Dr. Onu as an accomplished statesman and trailblazer who left an indelible mark on the history of Abia State.

“Dr Onu did not only lay the foundation for the dynamic and structured development of all parts of the state, he set up major administrative and service-delivery structures that are still functioning till today.

“Dr Ogbonnaya Onu’s administrative genius inspired the setting up of the Abia State Polytechnic Aba, the Abia State College of Education (Technical) Arochukwu, and the National Ambassador Newspaper.

“It is also important to recall that it was under Governor Onu that the Federal University of Agriculture, Umudike, now Michael Okpara University of Agriculture (MOUAU), was established.

“It is on this note distinguished ladies and gentlemen that we as a State have decided to immortalize him by renaming the Abia State Polytechnic Aba after him.

“The Polytechnic will henceforth, be known as as Dr Ogbonnaya Onu Polytechnic, Aba,” Otti said.
