INSIDE ABIA’S 1.016 TRILLION BUDGET: WHAT GOV. OTTI'S 2026 PLAN MEANS FOR THE STATE

In today’s Morning Show Discussion Segment, we turn the spotlight to Umuahia, Abia State, where the political atmosphere is buzzing with figures, forecasts, and financial promises. The reason? Abia State has just unveiled one of its most ambitious fiscal blueprints yet—a ₦1.016 trillion budget proposal for the 2026 financial year.

This monumental figure, presented by Governor Alex Otti before the Abia State House of Assembly, has sparked conversations across policy circles, public spaces, and now, right here on our show. But beyond the headline-grabbing trillion-naira tag lies a deeper story: What does this budget prioritize? Who does it empower? And how will it shape the everyday realities of Abians?

From infrastructure to education, economic development to governance reforms, we explore how this budget aligns with Gov. Otti’s long-term vision for a transformed Abia.

Our journey begins with a comprehensive report from Afia TV’s Deputy Chief Correspondent, Emmanuel Nwazue, who was at the Assembly for the formal presentation. His on-ground insights set the tone for a robust discussion on transparency, budgeting culture, and the state’s fiscal direction.
