The Abia State Governor, Alex Otti has received praises from Nigerians after it was revealed that he flew to Hungary to broker a deal for the people of Abia state.

Otti in a post shared on X, he said that on a working visit, he had the opportunity to meet some investors and hold discussions on agriculture, healthcare, education, security among others.

He disclosed he is hopeful that a partnership with these companies would help them establish a manufacturing presence in Abia State.

This comes shortly after otti flags off the construction of the 20 years dilapidated Port Harcourt, Aba road, with Julius Berger construction company undertaking the project.

Otti wrote on X;

"In August, I met with the Hungarian Deputy Ambassador in my office. We discussed potential investment areas ranging from agriculture and health care to education, security, and portable drinking water access. Now in Hungary, on a working visit, I have been privileged to explore these opportunities firsthand. We visited two companies that impressed me with their innovative products and services:

1. OrtoProfil: An exceptional medical aid service provider that crafts custom limb prostheses, electronic wheelchairs, and orthopaedic therapeutic footwear, insoles for flat-foot and diabetic foot. The quality and functionality of their products have the potential to improve the lives of many with disabilities in Abia State.

2. Agrár Béta Group: A bioenergy farm (biogas plant and bioethanol factory) that self-produces 1.7 megawatts of power. Beyond just power generation, the heat from the plant can dry agricultural products, like mangoes. They have also excelled in hybrid maize production and provide training in bioenergy farm processes.

We are looking forward to partnering with these companies to help them establish a manufacturing presence in Abia State. Through these partnerships, we aim to create jobs and add value to our economy. I believe that by working together with our Hungarian friends, we can achieve great things for our people.

We were later hosted to a reception by the Nigerian Ambassador to Hungary H.E Modupe Enitan Irele. I was joined by the Abia State Government delegation and a business delegation from Abia State. They include Hon. Ginger Onwusibe, Engr. Ikechukwu Monday, Dr. Cliff Agbaeze, Mr. Chuka Ofili, Engr. Chinedu Onyeizu, Engr. Ifeanyi Clement Okorie, Engr. Christian Ikechukwu Soribe and Chief Owelle Greg Okafor."

Reacting to this move, several Nigerians took to social media to hail him;
