*THE SOLUTION AGENDA REVOLUTIONIZING ANAMBRA STATE*
*......the facts of development touching communities and Ndi Anambra....*
"You aren't seen nothing yet"; is a by line Gov Chukwuma Soludo uses often anytime he goes to commission a project, inspect one, or the people eulogise him for his accomplishments. What happens across all the 21 Local Governments astonishes even the greatest critiques. My journey across Anambra State in the past one month to witness things by my team inspired this adulation, if we can call it one. But they are statements of facts.
I schooled at Onitsha. So I know Onitsha. I attend church at Onitsha from Awka or Igboukwu whenever I am around Anambra State. Grace of God Mission is at 33, Awada, Fegge, so I attend them in sequence. What I witnessed in Fegge shocked me. Impassable avenues and roads, playgrounds, schools, hospitals, and the ochanja market area now wear outstanding new looks. Okpoko is another area I have been to recently. I am shocked at the total transformation of Okpoko area. I saw schools built anew. Hospitals, I saw pipe borne water, good roads, the general environment has received tremendous improvement.
I have lived in Awka for 32 years. The type of improvements I have seen in Awka in terms of erosion control and road development awed me. Areas inside Awka villages one couldn't drive to before. From Amansea to Ufuma is a brand new road that takes 15 minutes from one end to the other. This road is special because going to Orumba area from Awka is now a piece of cake.
I know many parts of Awka North; from Mgbakwu to Isuaniocha to Achalla to Urum. The kind of overall improvement I witnessed recently awed me. Driving from Unizik junction into Mgbakwu and Isuaniocha through Okpuno is now an enjoyable ride.
Ekwusigo and Nnewi South are areas I have friends from the entire communities. I often travel to Ihembosi, Oraifite, Osumenyi, Amichi, Ekwulummili, and I am seeing enormous improvements going on in these areas. Hospitals are being improved, schools are built anew.
Old Aguata is one place that road infrastructure and erosion seemed corrosive. But the Solution mantra has touched down from Ogbunka, to Agulezechukwu, to Umunze to Uga, to Ekwulobia, to Igboukwu to Ikenga and all the other communities in between. Gov Soludo administration made Old Aguata area a place to adulate. He has always dreamt it. And he is on it.
Ihiala Local Government is another area Gov Soludo showed capacity. From the roads to the erosion eating up the area to destroying kidnappers' camps. Not surprised that Dr. Bryant Orjiako, one of the most prominent man from Ihiala, came with ndi Ihiala to appreciate Gov. Soludo. The same from Allen Onyema, the Airpeace boss. Or Chief Obidialo, (Obijackson) who has not hidden his adulation of Prof Chukwuma Soludo.
The good people of Anambra North Senatorial District just came together a week ago to appreciate Gov Soludo's accomplishments in the zone. From Ogbaru, to Onitsha North and South, to Ayamelum to Oyi to Anambra East and West, hundreds of thousands gathered and crowned him *OLU ATU EGWU*(person wee no de fear work) of Nigeria.
One youth 2 skills program has revolutionized the empowerment agenda of Gov Soludo. I have met hundreds of young men and women who received the training and the take-off grants. They are doing tremendously very well.
The scholarship scheme across all government schools has increased school enrollments in Anambra, and made Anambra the #1 in the children enrollment scheme in Nigeria. School drop out here is zero. Out of school children in Anambra is near zero. 8 thousand teachers have been employed across Anambra State schools. 2 thousand health workers employed. No wonder Anambra received awards as #1 health care State in Nigeria. Anambra is back to #1 in WAEC and JAMB performance once again.
Gov. Chukwuma Soludo has recreated the evolution that will truly transform Anambra to a *LIVABLE, PROSPEROUS AND SECURED HOMELAND*
The law passed by Anambra State House of Assembly establishing the Udo Gachi security outfit has once again made Anambra the safest state in Nigeria.
Anambra is rising. *THE SOLUTION IS HERE*
