The number one citizen said that some of his greatest achievements is the liberation of Abia from the clutches of darkness and the restoration of security having fought kidnaping to a standstill.

He said that with the high network in place, Abia is now one of the safest states in Nigeria. He explained that many investors now come to the state to invest, as he pleaded with them to channel their resources back home so as to help in the transformation of the state.

After watching documentaries focusing on development in Abia, those who spoke commended Governor Orji for finding time to host the town hall meeting which has gone a long way in proving that Abia is working.

They urged him to focus despite the seeming challenges facing his administration especially in terms of finance.
