Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo and members of the Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) have awarded a contract for the provision of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities to Nkwo Umunze and other nearby communities. This initiative aims to ease the problem of water supply in that part of the state.
The approval for the provision of the WASH facilities was also extended to the Chief Jerome Udoji State Secretariat in Awka, the state capital, for the well-being of public service personnel working at the complex. Furthermore, the Council approved the construction of a solar-powered borehole and rehabilitation of five non-functional boreholes at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Uli Campus, and the provision of hybrid power-driven Water Supply Schemes to Nwafor Orizu College of Education, Nsugbe.
According to the State’s Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, these initiatives are part of Governor Soludo’s comprehensive urban regeneration agenda to make Anambra the Dubai-Silicon Valley of Nigeria, where economic and business thrive. The governor’s transformation drive is evident in various sectors, including:
– Security: Reducing crime through strategic interventions and technology-driven policing
– Infrastructure: Massive road construction and urban renewal projects
– Education: Overhauling the public school system, implementing free education policy, and recruiting 8,115 teachers
– Health: Building new general hospitals, upgrading others, hiring new doctors and nurses, and granting free antenatal services to women
– Economic Growth: Attracting investments, industrialization, and empowering youths through digital training for human capital development
These initiatives have been commended by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the indigenes in the country and diaspora, showcasing Governor Soludo’s commitment to transforming Anambra State
