By Nkiru Nwagbo Awka.


Anambra  state Commissioner for Works, Engr Ifeanyi Okoma has disclosed that the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) led government had awarded a total of 621. 649 kilometers of roads out of which 316 kilometers have been completed while others are at various stages of being completed.





In an interview with journalists during a three-day media tour of projects sites executed by the governor, Engr  Okoma said Soludo’s 50 years vision for  development of Anambra aims at building a livable and prosperous home land, and to move the state from a departure lounge to a destination centre.

The Commissioner insisted that the government did not borrow  money from anywhere  for the project, adding that the contractors are not owed.

Meanwhile, stakeholders and residents of the state have urged Governor Soludo to scale up the fight against insecurity across the length and breadth of 179 communities and 21 local government areas of the state.




They insist the move would enable Indigenes in the three Senatorial districts of the state to return home for the Christmas and New Year festivities.

They however, endorsed him for a second term in office, come the November 8, 2025 governorship election, to enable him complete the good works he had started across the nooks and crannies of the state.

The people maintained that the safety and protection of citizens and their properties would afford them the opportunity to witness the impressive, committed and courageous testament of Soludo’s achievements in road infrastructure and other key projects within the past two years and nine month on the saddle as governor.




A citizen, Samuel Igwedinma Nwaofor (Ozo Ebubechukwu) and the  All Progressives Grand Alliance  State House of Assembly candidate for Awka South 1 constituency during the 2023 election, said, “Our governor, Prof. Charles Soludo, has done exceedingly well, and has done so much but Oliver Twist wants some more.

According to him "the people in Awka keep on emphasising that he has done so much, but for the area of insecurity, which is being tackled at the moment.

”Nobody knows what lies ahead, because so many people want to come back home to invest in Awka as a result of what the governor is doing.

“For example, just a few kilometres away from here is the Fun City that is coming up; nobody will come to enjoy the Fun City if there is no security.

”But if there’s enough security, you walk freely at every point in time. He is doing extensively well.




Also speaking, the  Secretary of Onitsha local government area, Paul Onuachalla, lauded Governor Soludo for his infrastructural strides that have opened the long abandoned Fegge, Niger, Iweka, Port Harcourt roads, and other densely populated areas of the commercial town.

He noted that all the listed roads were in bad shape before Soludo ascended the top seat at the Agu Awka Government House, but expressed gratitude that the roads are now back to life with a beehive of activities.

Onuachalla assured that Onitsha South local government residents and people within and around the council would reciprocate the kind gesture of the APGA-led government by voting massively for his second term bid come 2025.

A hotelier at Nnewi in Nnewi North Council Area , Melr Obiora Ihazunya, who also spoke on. Soludo's infrastructural  policy describes him as the most outstanding and transparent governor Anambra have ever produced . 



The contractor handling the ongoing construction of the state new government house and the governor's Lodge Enger Ifechukwu Nnahasi on his own said the new Government House will be completed in the next two weeks.

Nnahasi who is the President of Iyke Jordan Group, commence the state commissioner for works for organizing the facility tour.
