Abia State Governor Alex Otti announced the establishment of an isolation centre at the Mother and Child Hospital in Umuahia to prepare for potential Ebola cases, despite no reported instances of the disease. The isolation centre is designed as a precautionary measure, with the hospital itself remaining closed to the public. Otti emphasized the importance of adhering to Ebola protocols and urged the public to remain calm.
Additionally, he commended the Abia State Eye Health Management Bureau for conducting 31,000 screenings and performing 1,811 surgeries. The governor further disclosed plans to expand the existing 25 eye centres across 17 local government areas to 29, with four more centers already approved. Otti also clarified that Abia State has chosen electric vehicles over Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) powered buses for its public transportation system, stating that CNG was not completely ruled out but deemed unnecessary for public transportation at this time.
