A former Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, led the alumni delegation, according to a statement issued on Sunday by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Governor Otti, Ferdinand Ekeoma.

Mr Ekeoma said the UNIPORT alumni expressed satisfaction with Mr Otti’s accomplishments under two years, especially the quality road projects, like Port Harcourt Road in Aba, the Umuahia-Uzuakoli-Abiriba-Ohafia Road, the Aguiyi Ironsi Boulevard, the ongoing reconstruction of Omenuko Bridge, and many others.

Mr Amaechi, a former minister of transportation, described the transformation taking place in Abia as “very impressive and heartwarming,” especially the quality of the work being done despite limited resources.

Other members of the delegation who joined Mr Amaechi in the inspection included a retired diplomat, Ernest Douglas, Chidi Ulelu, and Duke Odinde.
