My guess is that your full declaration of Root_Connection_Type in the
private part
is not abstract:

...
   type Root_Connection_Type is abstract new
Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled with private;
...
private
   type Root_Connection_Type is abstract new
Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled with null record;
  -- full declaration. This must also be abstract
...
