Since the assumption of leadership of Professor Chukwuma Soludo as the Executive Governor of Anambra State about three years ago, the governance trajectory of the State has changed for the better. The dualisation of the Amawbia-Agulu-Nanka-Ekwulobia-Uga Road is advancing beyond Agulu Lake to Nwagu junction enroute Ekwulobia. The dualisation of Agulu-Adazi-Nnukwu-Neni-Nnokwa-Nnobi-Nnewi Road with a spur to Ozubulu to the Onitsha-Owerri Expressway is also advancing as a good percentage of earth work has been done.
The Ekwulobia junction has been adorned with a magnificent flyover almost completed and has changed the landscape of the old Aguata axis. In Awka, the flyover linking the Aroma junction area to Ifite Awka road is almost completed.
The infrastructural development of Anambra State under Professor Soludo is effectively rubbing off on all the senatorial zones. Under this administration, the state has been turned into a massive construction site with multiple road constructions in Onitsha, Awka, Nnewi and Ekwulobia towns. His admirers have given him the appellation, ‘Oluatuegwu’.
In the area of security, the inauguration of Operation Udogaachi and the AgunaecheMba security outfit by Governor Soludo with the deployment of hundreds of vehicles fitted with modern security gadgets, has brought back the confidence Anambrarians have in their state. Kidnappings and banditry which at a time seemed to have taken over the state have been brought down to a considerable level. No wonder recently Governor Soludo’s name reverberated from all corners of the country as accolades were fallen in torrents for the working Governor. Different media organizations including The Sun, The Vanguard and the Daily Independent newspapers have in no ambiguous terms recognized the good works of the Anambra State Governor. The Sun Newspaper bestowed on him “The Man of the year Award, 2024” in recognition of his excellent performance in governance. The Vanguard and Daily Independent Newspapers variously gave him ‘The Governor of the Year Award in Economic Transformation’.
The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) an umbrella body of Pentecostal churches described him as an ‘Icon of Societal Transformation’. The Governor has truly transformed Anambra State in just three years of his administration. One should recall that Okpoko, a slum in Ogbaru Local Government Area has been transformed to a modern city. The residents of the once forgotten and forsaken place by previous administrations are singing a new song now.
Just days back, students of Anambra State could not hold back their joy when they collectively, through their umbrella bodies made a princely donation of Two Million Naira to the Governor to support his reelection project. The Adazi-Nnukwu community shares in the joy of the working Governor as he was recently, again, unopposed, handed the mantle of APGA to contest the governorship election in November, 2025. We are optimistic that your administration would witness the actualization of the three signature projects very dear to the town which include the Adazi-Nnukwu Fish Production Village Business Project, the building of the Eke Agu Market into a daily market and, construction of the Amorji-Umudiana-Nnukwu road abutting the Nimo-Neni link Road.
Anambrarians are satisfied with your scorecard so far and we believe that the only way to thank you is to give you more work and support your re-election come November 2025. Adazi-Nnukwu community and Anambra State as a whole are happy with your giant strides and it is forward ever. Dalu Governor Soludo.
