Onyebuchi Ememanka, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Abia State recalls the sorry state of roads and other infrastructure in Aba, the commercial nerve centre of the state before the governor’s redemptive intervention
To be honest, i feel somewhat uncomfortable saying that renowned fast food chains like Chicken Republic, Domino’s Pizza, Coldstone Ice Cream, and shopping malls like Market Square just opened shop in Aba for the very first time.
These are things that should have happened yesterday.
When I brought my family back from Lagos after my seven year sojourn, one of my most difficult moments was having to find an answer to my children’s questions about the total absence of such things in Aba. In Lagos, they were used to seeing and visiting such shops all over the place.
