Abia State Governor Alex Otti has expressed optimism that the appointment of Bianca Ojukwu, widow of the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs will enhance the federal government’s efforts in key areas.

In a press release signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma, Otti described Mrs. Ojukwu’s appointment as a reflection of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to exploring new progressive opportunities for government success.

He praised the former Nigerian Ambassador to Spain as a fitting choice due to her impressive qualifications and expressed confidence that her leadership will strengthen the nation’s foreign policy and diplomatic ties, ultimately benefiting Nigerians both at home and abroad.

“Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu’s appointment is not only fitting but will also yield significant benefits, especially in foreign policy and diplomatic relations, given her extensive experience and exemplary public service record,” Otti stated.

He emphasized that Mrs. Ojukwu’s dedication to justice and good governance would help the nation navigate its current socio-political challenges, assuring that the people of Abia State will fully support her in her new role.
