Governor Chukwuma Soludo has told Ndi Anambra resident in Lagos that the state is ready for business, and appealed to them to invest in their homeland.

 

The Governor made the appeal during a town hall meeting he held with them in Lagos while enumerating some of the progress made so far by his administration after a year in office.

Governor Soludo enjoined them to contribute to the growth of the state and emphasized the need to change Anambra State from a departure lounge to a destination while stressing that homeland consciousness must be inculcated in the perceptual-mind of every onye-Anambra.

 

Speaking on the chaotic nature of Onitsha, Governor Soludo assured that his government is determined to resurrect Onitsha by returning it to its former glory as the biggest commercial city in the South East and beyond.

 

On security-related issues, the Governor maintained that his administration has drastically reduced the menace of killings and kidnappings to the barest minimum with the security architecture put in place by his government.

 

He commended the security forces- the Army, Navy, Police, the state’s vigilante group and other paramilitary agencies for their dogged efforts in contributing to the successes recorded so far.

He highlighted the Memorandum of Understanding recently signed by his government with Enugu Electricity Distribution Company, EEDC, for a two-four-seven supply of electricity in the state.

 

He also welcomes anyone who is interested in collaborating with his government to set up an Independent Power Plant in the state to address the challenge of power supply in the state.
