Governor Alex Otti has commissioned the 55-room ORIS Signature Hotel on Okigwe Road, Aba, describing it as a significant addition to the city’s growing hospitality and investment landscape.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony held yesterday in Aba, Governor Otti commended the Chief Executive Officer of the hotel, Owelle Greg Okafor, for delivering the project within just two years and a few months.
“This is a clear demonstration of what is possible when vision, enterprise, and a conducive business environment come together,” the Governor said.
He noted that when his administration assumed office, Aba faced significant challenges, including poor road infrastructure and struggling industries, but said the narrative is changing.
“Today, the story is changing, with businesses returning, property values rising and new investments taking shape,” Otti stated.
The Governor used the occasion to invite investors who previously relocated from Abia, as well as prospective investors, to return and take advantage of the opportunities being created by his administration.
“What we have achieved so far is only the beginning. With more projects, including the soon-to-be-completed Radisson Blu Enyimba Hotel, Aba will continue to grow as a major economic hub,” he added.
Governor Otti also acknowledged distinguished guests, friends and well-wishers who graced the occasion and continue to support the growth and transformation of Aba and Abia State.
He congratulated Owelle Greg Okafor and the entire ORIS Signature Hotel team on the milestone, assuring that his administration will continue to build an Abia where businesses and investments can thrive and opportunities abound.
