Alex Otti, the Abia State Governor on Thursday renamed the Abia State Polytechnic Aba after the first Executive Governor of Abia State, the late Dr Ogbonnaya Onu.
Edum News reports that, Otti disclosed this during an interdenominational church service in honour of the departed statesman on Thursday in Umuahia, the state capital.
The Abia State polytechnic was established in 1992 during Onu’s tenure as governor.
According to Otti, Onu’s legacy could not be eclipsed by the misery of death, adding that the state polytechnic would henceforth be known as Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu Polytechnic, Aba.
He said, “Dr Onu was one leader who believed that our true path to development lies in building institutions that train and equip our young people with the knowledge that makes them productive and competitive, especially in relevant fields of technology, science, education, and agriculture. He did not just stop at making education the most important industry in the state under his watch.”
