Unavailing the New Face of Abia tower .
Two coloured birds sat Complacently on top the Abia Tower this cloudy Sunday evening. They were Chatting away happily, Oblivious of the chaos of Motorists below the height of about 100 meters.
The Gigantic concrete tower stands at the middle of the Port-Harcourt/Enugu Expressway at the Interjection into Umuahia Metropolis. Beyond its towering height and Aesthetic Grandeur, there is a quite significant meaning and message in the edifice.
The Imposing tower, Built-in Gothic Cathedral designs with a concave Metallic arch, is the first structure that welcomes one into the Abia state capital. With a certain Reassuring air, it announces this Hospitality with a bold Inscription: Welcome to Abia ; God’s Own State.
The walls are painted in pink and light yellow colours which glow with the translucent lights overlooking the ground from the height.
I see the tower as the first brand ambassador of Abia State and it has consistently lived up to this billing with the warmth and friendliness conjured into its magical designs.
