DIPLOMAN TIMES

Abia State Governor Alex Otti has approved three appointments covering the Abia State Signage and Advertisement Agency, the Abia Industrial and Innovation Park and the Governor's office on National Assembly matters. The appointments take immediate effect.

Governor Alex C. Otti has approved the appointment of Hon. Godwin Adindu as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Abia State Signage and Advertisement Agency, known as ABSAA. The appointment places Adindu in charge of an agency identified in the announcement as part of the state's administrative structure for signage and advertisement matters.

The Governor also approved the appointment of Ms. Sandra Ivonye-Ntofon as Chief Executive Officer of the Abia Industrial and Innovation Park. The appointment introduces executive leadership for the industrial and innovation facility and forms part of the latest personnel decisions announced by the Abia State Government.

The third appointment is that of Mr. Emenike Vincent Onyembi as Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on National Assembly Matters. His appointment creates a designated advisory position focused on matters relating to the Governor's engagement with the National Assembly and associated legislative affairs.

The three appointments were announced in a press release issued by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma. The announcement was dated October 3, 2026, and expressly stated that the appointments take immediate effect.

The appointments cover three separate administrative functions: signage and advertisement administration, industrial and innovation development, and legislative liaison. The Abia State Government publication announcing the decisions did not provide additional details on the appointees' individual mandates, tenure or specific programmes beyond the offices to which they were appointed. The appointments therefore take effect as announced, with the three named officials assuming their respective responsibilities.
