The Government of Anambra
State, under the leadership of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, is set to host
a Town Hall Meeting on April 12, 2025, at Harbour Point Marquee, Lagos.
The interactive session aims to
present a three-year scorecard of his administration's progress while outlining
the road ahead for Ndi Anambra.
For the Anambra community
living in Lagos, this event is more than just a report; it is an opportunity to
engage, ask critical questions, and explore ways to contribute to the continued
development of the State. The invitation extends beyond a mere presentation; it
is a call to action for Ndi Anambra to join hands in shaping a prosperous
future.
Governor Soludo's
administration has prioritized innovation, infrastructure, and economic
transformation. As the scorecard is unveiled, participants will get firsthand
insights into achievements, challenges, and upcoming projects. Given the
influence of the Anambra diaspora in Lagos, their involvement could be
instrumental in driving investments and strategic partnerships.
In transforming Anambra State,
Prof. Soludo uses an evidence-based approach to support policymaking. He is
very intentional in all decisions he makes. Decisions in his administration are
not only need-based but geared toward the long-term prosperity of Anambra.
In three years, the Governor
Charles Chukwuma Soludo-led administration has constructed five new general
hospitals in five Local Government Areas that previously had none, in order to
strengthen the referral systems from primary healthcare centers in these Local
Government Areas.
The decision to construct these
hospitals was purely based on the government's needs assessment reports.
Within the years under review,
the 8,115 teachers and 1,000 healthcare workers recruited were all posted to
communities where there was evident staff shortage. The agenda is to leave no
individual or community behind.
The over 762km of roads, seven
bridges, and massive erosion works awarded in three years were based on needs
assessments of communities.
Governor Soludo's efforts have
not gone unnoticed in transforming Anambra. Workers from all 21 Local
Government Areas of the State back Soludo for a second term because of his
welfare policies.
During the March 2025 Women's
Summit in Awka, over 2,000 women from 179 communities in the State endorsed
him. These women credited him for his urban renewal and empowerment efforts.
In a bold move to tackle rising
insecurity in Anambra State, Governor Chukwuma Soludo unveiled the Anambra
Homeland Security Law 2025 and launched a 2,000-strong special security
operation code-named "Udo Ga-Achị."
With the launch of the Homeland
Security Law, the governor maintains that security, law, and order remain
pivotal to attaining his vision of a livable and prosperous homeland. Governor
Soludo opines that the massive revolution by his administration in all sectors
must be cemented with a robust security system with zero tolerance for
criminality.
The Governor has received
awards from national newspapers, such as The Sun Newspaper, Daily Independent,
and Vanguard Newspaper, for his stellar performance in three years. Different
groups have commended Prof. Soludo for his inclusive governance.
Ndi Anambra residents in Lagos
are encouraged to attend this town hall meeting to actively participate in
shaping the future of Anambra State and contribute to its growth and
development. Together, they can bridge gaps, foster collaboration, and build a
prosperous and united Anambra State.
By participating in the Town
Hall Meeting, the Anambra community in Lagos becomes agents of change, shaping
vibrant and thriving communities.
This Town Hall Meeting is not
just an event; it is a defining moment for Ndi Anambra living in Lagos to
reflect, collaborate, and reaffirm their commitment to the progress of their
homeland.
