Shehu described Abia as being among Nigeria’s best-governed states and commended what he called the prudent management of public resources. His remarks represent his assessment rather than an official nationwide RMAFC ranking; a separate 2026 governance index placed Abia outside the national top ten, while another performance index ranked it among the country’s fastest-improving states.
Otti welcomed RMAFC’s ongoing reforms, including work on a new revenue-allocation formula, and said greater financial empowerment of states would enable them to deliver more services. Shehu also thanked the Abia Government for providing land for a permanent RMAFC office in the state.
