Gov approves staggering capital base, declares environmental state of emergency, and launches digital talent revolution
Anambra State is going all in and it’s putting its money where its mouth is.
Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration has approved a whopping ₦200 billion capital base for the Anambra Development and Investment Corporation (ADIC), with the state pledging to cough up 30 per cent of that massive war chest.
But that’s not all.
In a sweeping series of decisions from the June 29 Executive Council meeting, the government also:
Declared war on environmental degradation ordering a statewide lockdown every Saturday from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. for desilting and waste evacuation, starting July 4
Greenlit the Code Anambra Talents Mastery Cohort 2 doubling down on the state’s tech goldmine
Released ₦315 million to restore electricity to Uli community and COOU’s Chinweoke Mbadinuju Campus
“The corporation will soon launch a public-private partnership to mobilise development funds,” said Information Commissioner Law Mefor. “ADIC will operate as a highly favourable platform for both individual and corporate investors.”
Key state assets are also being transferred to ADIC, signalling Soludo’s no-nonsense approach to turning Anambra into an investment magnet.
With environmental action, digital talent development, and aggressive investment strategy on the table, one thing is clear: The Soludo administration isn’t playing games.
