Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State, has called on eminent sons and daughters of his state to support his government’s agenda of transforming the state into a liveable homeland.
He has therefore urged them to embrace the Public Community Private Partnership (PCPP) initiative and other programmes of the government for the development of the state.
Soludo made the call in a release by the Commissioner for Information, Paul Nwosu, emphasising the importance of unity and collective effort in building a prosperous, livable and and sustainable future for the state.
It read: “Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has a well-thought-through pragmatic agenda to transform Anambra State into a liveable and prosperous homeland that every Anambra person will be proud of.
“His sterling performance in just two years in office without borrowing a Kobo is a testament that whatever he has promised Ndi-Anambra is realizable. If he can achieve so much within a short space of time and with so little, it then goes to foretell what he can do in the life span of his administration and with the support of his people.
“The illustrious sons and daughters of Anambra State, home and abroad, have a sacred duty to partner with Governor Soludo at this critical time to transform our dear state into a viable and enviable prosperous corridor in this country.
“Anambra has the right kind of people that can make this happen.
Governor Soludo has continuously vowed that he will publicly account for every Kobo put in his hands to work for Ndi-Anambra. He has recently been proven right by a dispassionate independent report of BudgIT which ranked Anambra State as the first among the States Fiscal Transparency League (SFTL). That is Professor Soludo’s handiwork.
“Mr. Governor is therefore inviting wealthy Ndi-Anambra in the country and the Diaspora to take advantage of the Public Community Private Partnership (PCPP) by collaborating with the State Government to engage in developing specific projects in their respective communities and local governments.
“They can get involved by adopting schools, health facilities, roads, water projects, etc. in their communities. They can construct new ones; renovate and rehabilitate existing ones; provide the needed equipment to make the facilities function optimally, and so on.
“Some prominent Ndi Anambra have already started this partnership as exemplified in the string of projects commissioned by Governor Soludo at the end of year.
“Given the obvious paucity of funds, the government cannot possibly provide all the 179 communities in Anambra State with all their infrastructural needs at the same time.
“It is noteworthy that without the money of the American Jews in the Diaspora, the emergence of the State of Israel would not have been possible. This development model should be embraced by Anambra’s illustrious sons and daughters.”
