The Abia State Government has commenced enforcement of its new centralised transport system, relocating all commercial transport operators to the newly commissioned Nnenna Oti Bus Terminal in Umuahia .
The ultra-modern terminal, commissioned on May 27, 2026, can accommodate over 340 buses at a time and is named after Professor Nnenna Oti, the INEC Returning Officer who declared Governor Alex Otti winner of the 2023 governorship election .
Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu, announced that full operations have commenced with a phased approach: first the Abia Green Shuttle buses, followed by informal transport operators, and then formal operators like God is Good and GUO Motors .
A 35-man Transport Monitoring and Enforcement Team was inaugurated to drive compliance . Commissioner for Transport, Dr. Chimezie Ukaegbu, urged enforcement officers to be humane, stating, “I did not ask any of you to intimidate or hurt anyone” .
About 80 to 90 percent of operators have embraced the initiative, while the government continues to engage those yet to comply fully . The terminal features over 62 air conditioners, 30 conveniences, 22 shops, a restaurant, and a motel .
