Governor Alex Otti of Abia State, has vowed that there is no going back in the resolve of his administration to fence the regional Cattle Market Umuchieze as part of the necessary measures to improve security in the area.

Otti who made the vow while responding to a question during a media parley in Umuahia, said the proposal had not been dropped contrary to speculations in some quarters.

He explained that the fund involved in the project required bidding in keeping with due process, hence the little delay so the project could be bided for.

” I can’t be cowed. The amount of money involved in the project is enormous and we want to do bidding. Once we are done, fencing will begin.

” Every right-thinking person not just in Abia but beyond supports our decision to fence the market as a necessary security measure. Those opposing the move are either not properly informed or mischievous", he concluded.
