Why We Relocated Abia College Of Health, Ikpeazu Explains
Gov Okezie Ikpeazu has explained that the reason his administration decided to relocate the Abia State College of Health and Management Technology, Aba currently at the heart of Enyimba to a new site at Umuobiakwa, was to help decongest the City centre.
The governor who made the explanation while laying the foundation stone for the construction of the permanent site at Umuobiakwa, said that the current location of the institution at the heart of the Aba City Center “has become unsustainable owing to increasing commercial activities in the area which impedes smooth academic work.”
The Governor assured the new site was not only perfect for academic work “but will give greater impetus” to the agenda of his administration to spread development across all parts of the State.
