Security issues in Abia remained, if not increased, throughout this last year. So much so that a trip to Nigeria in the summer halted the visitation to the TWCF site in Abia. The disrepair of roads makes it easier for armed robbers and kidnappers to attack vehicles. The vast number of checkpoints by various security forces create insecurity with the number of slowdowns and stops, lengthening the time on the unsafe roads
Part of the better Abia mandates under Governor Otti, include new road infrastructure connection various rural areas to urban areas, proposed development of an international airport, addressing the gaps and concerns in the health sector, as well as collaboration to address security issues, among many other things.
