On Sunday, several Twitter users established an agenda for Abia State Governor-elect Alex Otti before his May 29 swearing-in.
On March 22, the Independent National Electoral Commission proclaimed Labour Party gubernatorial candidate Mr. Otti the winner.
Mr. Otti formed a group to help him transition from the departing government.
On Saturday, Mr. Otti’s assistant, Chidi Nnanna, invited Twitter followers to contribute to state rebuilding.
Mr. Nnanna said contributions must be given under seven subject areas: economic transformation, Aba, socio-economic enablers, social transformation, human capital development, finance, and financing methods.
Environment, resources, sustainability, governance, rule of law, and global strategic relationships are others.
Twitter Otti
Sunday’s verified tweet from Mr. Otti confirmed the Twitter space.
The governor-elect, who reposted his aide’s tweet, claimed the transition council’s public involvement section organised the Twitter area.
He said the move was in accordance with his pledge of an “inclusive administration where the voice of the people must be heard”.
Governor-elect agenda
Between 6:00 and 8:45 p.m. on Sunday, about 600 Twitter users participated.
Mr. Otti did not participate in the exercise mediated by Mr. Nnanna and Nedu Ekeke on Twitter.
Many speakers from inside and beyond Nigeria outlined infrastructure and developmental challenges the future administration should prioritise in reconstructing the state.
Twitter users discussed terrible roads, the environment, education, health, and technology.
Salaries, security, power, tourism, sports, domestically produced money, entrepreneurship, economics, and business are other priorities.
After the oral presentations, participants were requested to write down their ideas, including metrics, and send them to a specified address.
Please urge those with ideas that can help the state transform to email them.
“We’ll evaluate every idea, suggestion, or proposal paper.” Each transition council subcommittee has a group of specialists,” said Mr. Ekeke, one of the moderators.
