By Ukpa Ewa

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu received a warm reception during his one day working visit to Anambra State, where he commissioned several critical infrastructural projects.

Speaking on behalf of the private sector, the Chairman of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), South East region, Lady Ada Chukwudozie, expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for his support of Anambra State and Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo. She noted that the President involvement made citizens of the region feel more included in national development.

Lady Chukwudozie also praised Governor Soludo for his outstanding performance, particularly for achieving major milestones without borrowing funds.

“Governor Soludo has done marvelously well with the lean resources available to him. Ndi Anambra are proud of him,” she stated, adding that she looks forward to the developmental impact of the newly commissioned projects.

Chairman of Anambra Patriots for Soludo, Chief Ejiamatu Damian Enekwechi, also lauded the governor for fulfilling the expectations of the people. He highlighted accomplishments such as the construction of a modern government house, improvements in security, the creation of a 50-year development master plan, extensive road construction across communities and employment generation in the health and education sectors. He assured continued grassroot support for the Soludo administration.

In her remarks, Professor Rose Nwankwo, Secretary of the Solution Frontiers Movement, described the occasion as a form of public awareness about Governor Soludo’s silent but impactful governance. She commended the governor for transforming Anambra State in just three years.

“From dualized roads in Aguata and Ekwulobia to the transformed Ekwueme Square, Soludo has made remarkable strides. Today, people drive from Amansea to Ufuma in just 15 minutes—a feat never seen before,” she noted, attributing improved security and nightlife to the governor effort.

The highlight of President Tinubu’s visit was the commissioning of major projects, including the Emeka Anyaoku Institute for International Studies and Diplomacy, the new government house, and the Solution Fun City—landmark developments poised to boost socio-economic growth in the state.

President Tinubu was also honoured with a prestigious chieftaincy title, Dike Si Mba Anambra, during the well-attended event, which brought together governors from the South East and dignitaries from Borno, Ogun, Delta States among others.
