Lukeman Ukara, along with all commissioners and senior aides who played a significant role in making this bill a reality.

The Role of GADA:
The Greater Aba Development Authority will serve as a specialized agency responsible for overseeing the comprehensive development of Aba. Its mandate extends beyond Abia State, encompassing the entire South East Nigeria. The agency will focus on bolstering Aba's infrastructure, improving its environmental conditions, and providing social support to foster growth and attract more businesses and investments to the city.
Prospects for Aba's Transformation:
With the signing of the GADA Bill into law, Aba is poised for a transformative journey. The city's potential will be harnessed, and its challenges addressed through strategic planning and targeted interventions. This will create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive, generate employment opportunities, and contribute significantly to the economic growth of Abia State and Nigeria as a whole.
The signing of the GADA Bill into law represents a significant milestone in Aba's journey towards becoming a modern and prosperous city. The establishment of the Greater Aba Development Authority will provide the necessary impetus to drive its growth and development, attracting more businesses and investments while improving the quality of life for its residents.
