Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR has described his administration’s agenda for the state, especially Agulu and Anaocha as huge.
The Governor made this known when he commissioned the Solution Arena at Agulu, Anaocha local government area.
Governor Soludo stated that the state master plan is huge and accommodates the next generation of ndị Anambra, pointing out that as a result, all Trunk-A Roads have been mapped for dualization.
“We have a huge agenda in Agulu and Anaocha.
“We are just two years and a few months in office. You have benefitted alot within these years.
“The Solution Arena which is not ordinarily meant to be a state government project is just supposed to serve as a model to communities, as part of our urban regeneration agenda.
“This is meant to take development nearer to the people, especially the poor and forgotten, in line with the “leave no one behind” mantra of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.
“Everybody that will do business here, will get a shop free of charge.
“There are communities in the state who hadn’t seen coal tar, but with the massive road construction of over 500 kilometres, they can now heave a sigh of relief”, the Governor stated.
The Governor noted that in keeping with his urban regeneration initiative, Odu Igbo, Onitsha is currently being constructed, while a Solution Arena structure is already up and running in Awka, thereby reducing street trading.
“Agulu is a big town. God created and beautified the town with a lake.
“We will turn Agulu into a tourist destination”; the Governor stressed.
Earlier, the Mayor of Anaocha local government area, Mr. Romanus Ibekwe expressed joy at what the Governor is doing in Anaocha.
“Significant thing is happening in our local government, courtesy of the Solution government- the dualization and others.
The members representing Anaocha Constituency One and Two at the State House of Assembly, Ms. Nkechi Ogbuefi and Hon. Ejike Okechukwu thanked the Governor for what he is doing in their location, expressing readiness to support his second term.
They prayed that the Governor’s vision for the state will be actualised.
