A former Deputy Governor of Anambra State, Nkem Okeke, has praised Governor Prof. Chukwuma Soludo for his proactive approach in transforming the state’s rural and urban infrastructure, describing the efforts as laying the foundation for a “prosperous homeland” for residents.
Okeke, who served under former Governor Willie Obiano from 2014 to 2021, made the remarks on Sunday while touring several high-impact projects executed by the state government. He highlighted that the current level of infrastructural development reflects strategic governance and people-oriented policies.
“The infrastructural revolution and urban renewal reflect a shift towards world-class social investment. It is a seamless integration of infrastructure across both urban and rural corridors,” Okeke said.
He specifically commended facilities such as the Solution Fun City and the Country Club, describing them as more than leisure spots—they are “critical drivers of social cohesion, economic growth, and youth engagement,” providing modern amenities and constructive outlets for the younger generation.
The tour, led by Chinedu Nwoye, the Chief Protocol and Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor, concluded at the Light House in Awka, where Okeke observed the continued integration of infrastructure across the state. He lauded the Soludo administration’s investments in road networks, public utilities, and recreational hubs as essential for positioning Anambra as a destination for investments.
Governor Soludo had earlier emphasized that everyone in the state must contribute to making Anambra a hub for investments, reiterating his commitment to safety and security through the newly established state security outfits Agụnechemba and Udo Ga Achi.
Okeke’s commendation signals broad recognition of the administration’s developmental agenda, which aims to combine infrastructure, social investments, and security to modernize Anambra State.
