Happy hump day, folks.
Remember my reflection photos from the new bus terminal in my state a couple of weeks ago? I promised to share more, and I guess today's the perfect time.
The new ultra-modern bus terminal, named after Prof. Nnenna Oti, the 2023 Abia returning officer, was a landslide project by the Governor, Alex Otti.
Located at Umuahia, Abia State capital, the terminal was built to become the new central transport hub in the city - all inter-state parks are consolidated in one place. It has a capacity of 340+ buses and other cars at once.
So I had travelled with some women from my support group from Aba to Umuahia. We were on a courtesy visit to our State Party Chairman.
We boarded the new electric coastal bus, and I must say, the ride was so smooth and comfortable, I didn't even realize when we arrived Umuahia. We were dropped off at the new terminal. It was my first time there and the facility itself was impressive — clean, spacious, modern, and very different from what I was used to. World class, I'd say.
We were to wait for other women to arrive, so I took the time to stroll around the facility, and was amazed by what I saw. I took some pictures and here the are:
The environment was neat and beautiful.
It was actually drizzling but I didn't mind. I needed to get a good look at the facility. 😂
There's the loading bay, the waiting lounge, the ticketing office, the car park, security post and all. I checked the convenience and it was so cool. 😂
And the staff were friendly and on top of their tasks.

The electric bus shuttle.
Has functioning AC, comfortable seats, and even charging points to power phones.
The shuttle pilots. See how they're dressed. 😂
This bus terminal is everything and I really commend the brains behind it. It has helped put my state, Abia, in the limelight.
Glad I had the opportunity to take a look around the facility. It was an enjoyable experience.
That's a wrap.
