A New Dawn for Abia: Gratitude, Hope, and Our Shared Promise — Prince Okey Kanu Urges Unity, Renewed Commitment as Abia Welcomes 2026
NEW YEAR MESSAGE
As the curtains rise on 2026, my heart is filled with profound gratitude to God Almighty for His faithfulness, and to you, my dear friends, family, associates, and the resilient people of Abia State, for your unwavering love, support, and belief in our shared journey.
The passing year tested us, refined us, and strengthened our resolve. Yet, through every challenge, Abians stood tall hopeful, hardworking, and united by an unshakable faith in a better tomorrow. Your resilience is our greatest story; your courage, our loudest testimony.
As we step into this New Year, I invite us to renew our commitment to truth, service, and collective progress. Let us speak hope where there is doubt, extend compassion where there is need, and work together with renewed zeal to build an Abia that reflects our highest values, an Abia of opportunity, peace, transparency, and shared prosperity.
To our elders, may 2026 bring renewed strength and peace. To our youths, may it unlock doors of purpose and possibility. To our workers, may your labour be rewarded. To every family, may joy find your home and favour rest upon your household.
I remain deeply humbled by the trust you place in us and reaffirm my commitment to serve with integrity, clarity, and a listening ear, using information as a bridge that connects government to the people, and the people to their future.
May 2026 be kinder, brighter, and more fulfilling for you and yours. May our dreams take root, our efforts bear fruit, and our beloved Abia continue to rise.
Happy and Prosperous New Year!
Prince Okey Kanu,
Hon. Commissioner for Information,
Abia State.
