The former Secretary General of the Commonwealth of Nations, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, has praised Governor Chukwuma Soludo for initiating the construction of a new government house and governor’s lodge in Awka, alongside other transformative infrastructure projects in Anambra State.
Chief Anyaoku gave his commendation during a tour of the project site and the Solution Fun City, describing the developments as impressive and visionary. He noted that the synchronization of the three arms of government in one area demonstrates forward-thinking leadership. According to him, the durability and strategic planning evident in the projects will serve the state for generations.
In response, Governor Soludo expressed gratitude for Chief Anyaoku’s visit and recognition.
