Abia Governor Otti Delivers First Air Force Complex

On July 31, 2026, Abia State Governor Dr. Alex Otti officially handed over the first-ever Nigerian Air Force Administrative Complex in Umuahia to the federal government.

The ceremony included the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Kelvin Aneke, and the Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (Rtd). Otti emphasized that the facility reflects his administration's commitment to security for residents and visitors.

He noted that this development completes the presence of all three arms of the Nigerian armed forces in Abia, alongside the Nigerian Army’s Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Barracks in Ohafia and the Nigerian Navy College of Accounts and Finance in Owerinta. Air Marshal Aneke described the project as a historic milestone that would bolster security and socio-economic development in the South-East, marking it as a significant contribution to national defense.

The Minister of Defence commended Otti for his leadership and urged Air Force personnel to maintain professionalism in their duties.
