Renewed Hope Food Outreach: Abia Government is Committed to the Success of the Program in the State – ABSOA D.G | IKORO FM 93.3
The Director-General of the Abia State Orientation Agency (ABSOA), Ure Abazie, has reaffirmed the commitment of the Abia State government, under the leadership of Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, to collaborate with government entities, corporate organizations, and individuals whose programs aim to enhance the lives of the people of Abia and contribute to the state’s development.
Abazie made these remarks while speaking at the sidelines of the Renewed Hope Initiative’s Food Outreach Scheme, a project led by Nigeria’s First Lady, H.E. Senator Oluremi Tinubu, which took place on May 23, 2025, at the International Conference Centre in Umuahia, Abia State.
The ABSOA Director-General echoed Governor Otti’s sentiments expressed in his speech at the event titled “Compassion in Difficult Times.” He emphasized that the poverty and hunger faced by many Nigerians require comprehensive programs focused on job creation and entrepreneurship opportunities. He underscored that effective implementation of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) programs would provide long-term benefits that improve lives.
Abazie also expressed the Abia State government’s strong commitment to ensuring the program’s success within the state. He highlighted the dedication of the State Coordinator of the program and the First Lady of Abia State, Mrs. Priscilla Otti, who is fully committed to the program’s success. As a demonstration of this commitment, the Abia First Lady provided an additional 3,000 bags of 10 kg rice, supplementing those already donated by the RHI.
She has also committed to distributing all food items to vulnerable groups and women across the state in the coming weeks.
The ABSOA Director-General reminded everyone that there is a new Abia under Governor Otti—an Abia that prioritizes the interests of its people first.
