(An OHAFIATV Special Compendium As Compiled by Comr Amos Oge Kalu)
This compendium is presented under the intellectual and political reflection of:
Ambassador Dr. Osita Offor “De Ultimate Commander”
(Ikenga Gburugburu of Ohafia Ancient Kingdom)
He describes the transformation in Abia as:
“A deliberate reconstruction of abandoned governance spaces into functional development corridors where Aba, Umuahia, and rural Abia now speak the same language of renewal”
