Alex Otti also revealed his plans to revisit the case of 154 civil servants, including teachers, that were dismissed from service in 2011 by the then administration.
He ordered the Head of Civil Service to begin review of the sacked employees instantly to find a path for resolution while condemning their dismissal from service, which is alleged to have been based on state of origin, saying it is both unjust and illegal.
Members of the Abia State House of Assembly, Stephen Ucheonye and Obiora Nwakpadolo, praised the governor for his leadership impact, which prompted the organization of the event in his honor.
Meanwhile, Governor Alex Otti promised to continue in his commitment to justice and equitable leadership while correcting the mistakes of past administrations.
