The Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti has ordered the immediate relocation of Abia State University’s Umuahia campus back to its main campus in Uturu.
The State Commissioner for Information, Okey Kanu, announced this while briefing journalists at Government House in Umuahia on the decisions from this week’s executive council meeting, led by Governor Otti.
Kanu stated that this decision is based on recommendations from the Visitation Panel’s submitted report.
