Minister Momoh conducted a comprehensive inspection tour of ongoing projects across Abia State, including road construction, land reclamation, and school rehabilitation, as part of efforts to foster development and strengthen ties within the Niger Delta.

He appealed for increased collaborative engagements to curb insecurity and facilitate project execution across the region.
