Photos Of The Newly Renovated Abia State University Teaching Hospital, Aba
The long-neglected hospital has been revitalized by the new state governor. The recently renovated Abia State University Teaching Hospital in Aba stands as proof that the governor is making significant strides, all within the first year of office. Online, people have celebrated this achievement by sharing pictures of the transformed hospital premises.
According to the governor, One of my priorities, when I took office, was to restore the accreditation of our College of Medicine and Health Sciences ABSU, which was revoked due to inadequate facilities and staff welfare. I witnessed the suffering of our students, lecturers, and patients, and I promised to never let it happen again. We invested massively in the renovation and upgrade of the infrastructure, equipment, and personnel of ABSUTH.
I am glad to announce that the College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Abia State University, Uturu has successfully regained full accreditation from the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) after a period of suspension lasting almost three years. This is a remarkable achievement for our state and it affirms our commitment to deliver quality healthcare and education to our people.
With this accreditation, our medical students can now resume their training at the Abia State University Teaching Hospital (ABSUTH) Aba, with a higher admission quota and a valid accreditation to train house officers. I appreciate the MDCN team led by the Deputy Registrar, Dr. Nnaemeka Nwakanma, for their rigorous inspection and favourable verdict. I also commend the Commissioner for Health, Dr Ngozi Okoronkwo, the Vice Chancellor ABSU, Professor Maxwell Ogbulu, the pioneer Provost, College of Medicine and Health Sciences ABSU, Professor Akpuaka; the Acting Chief Medical Director ABSUTH, Professor John Chikezie and the entire Abia State University Accreditation Committee for their diligent work and dedication.
We have also allocated 20% and 15% of our 2024 annual budget to education and health, respectively, to demonstrate our resolve to promote the well-being and security of our people. We believe that these are not favours, but obligations that we owe to our citizens. We will continue to do our best to provide quality service and governance to our state.

I congratulate our medical students, lecturers, and staff on this milestone, and I encourage them to make the best use of this opportunity to excel in their studies and careers.

A House of Representatives member representing Ideato Federal Constituency in Imo state, Ikenga Ugochinyere, has said that some South-East governors have failed to bring an end to the crisis in the region because they are benefiting from it. Ugochinyere made the allegation while appearing on Arise TV on Wednesday morning, July 12. “There’s so much power that the president has in the constitution that he could use to bring this matter to a close within the shortest possible time. But the South-East leaders need to sit down to find a common ground over this issue of insecurity. The most important thing is that we want peace in the South-East because everywhere is devastated. Erosion is killing us. Infrastructure has collapsed. And then we cannot even sleep because our houses are being burnt and our people are being killed. This is not good. Any leader that wants the progress and unity of Nigeria definitely will open his doors to allow stakeholders to come in to allow stakeholders to fi
