SPECIAL INVITATION TO THE OFFICIAL COMMISSIONING OF E-MECHANIC WORKSHOP

I warmly invite the good people of Anaocha Local Government Area, APGA party faithful, community stakeholders, friends of the Local Government, and the general public to the official commissioning of the newly completed E-Mechanic Workshop situated at the Local Government Headquarters, Neni.

This project represents another deliberate step towards youth empowerment, skill acquisition, innovation, and sustainable development within Anaocha. It is our collective commitment to creating opportunities for growth, self-reliance, and technological advancement in our communities.

I therefore urge all sons and daughters of Anaocha, supporters of progressive governance, and lovers of development to come out in large numbers to witness this important milestone.

Date: Wednesday, 20th May, 2026
Time: 12:00 PM
Venue: Local Government Headquarters, Neni

Your presence will be highly appreciated as we celebrate this remarkable achievement together.

Yesterday ,marked yet another historic and memorable day in Anaocha as our indefatigable Governor, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo , visited Anaocha Local Government Area to commission the 2.5-kilometre road project constructed by Chief Tochukwu Nzekwe (Omenife Ichida) through a commendable public-private community partnership initiative.

Mr. Governor commended the project and described it as a practical demonstration of the Aku Luo Uno philosophy he has consistently advocated. He called on other stakeholders and well-meaning sons and daughters of Anaocha and indeed, rest of Anambra State, to emulate such noble and visionary initiatives capable of transforming communities, stressing that government cannot do it alone. According to him, sustainable development requires collaboration between government and the people, especially in the area of infrastructural development and community advancement.

On my part, I sincerely thanked Mr. Governor for all he has done and continues to do for Anaocha Local Government Area. The immense support he has shown me, coupled with his unwavering commitment to the development of Anaocha, has brought remarkable developmental strides and renewed hope to our people.

In his remarks, Chief Tochukwu Nzekwe (Omenife Ichida) expressed profound gratitude to Mr. Governor for the transformational leadership he has continued to provide across Anambra State. He highlighted several completed and ongoing road projects within the area, including the Nri–Agbanabo Road, the Ekwulobia–Agulu–Amawbia Road, the Ekwulobia-Awka-Etiti–Ichida Road, and the ongoing Agulu–Nnobi–Nnewi Road, among others. These landmark infrastructural projects, he noted, continue to position Anaocha for regenerative growth, inclusive development, and sustainable progress within the framework of a government that carries everyone along.

Indeed, it was a great day to savour — a day that further reaffirmed the shared commitment of government, community leaders, and stakeholders towards building a greater and more prosperous Anaocha.

Project is in line with Mr. Governor ’s initiative on community partnership and grassroots development.

Let us endeavour to come out en masse to welcome Mr. Governor and witness the commissioning of this laudable road project as we continue to advance the Greater Anaocha Agenda.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Hon. Dr. Afam Obidike on his reappointment as Anambra State’s Commissioner for Health. I consider this decision both timely and well-deserved, and I commend His Excellency, Governor Soludo, for once again entrusting leadership to a man whose service has already produced tangible impact.

I believe this continuity reflects a deeper commitment to stewardship over politics—where competence is recognized, rewarded, and sustained for the greater good of our people.

In my prayers, I ask God to grant Dr. Obidike enduring strength and greater wisdom as he carries the weighty responsibility ahead. To me, true leadership in the health sector goes beyond administration; it is a solemn covenant to safeguard life and uphold human dignity.
Congratulations once again, Hon. Dr. Afam Obidike.

As we celebrate Workers’ Day, I warmly welcome all Ndi Anaocha into the new month of May—a season of renewed hope, fresh opportunities, and greater accomplishments for our families, our communities, and our Local Government.

Today, I extend my heartfelt felicitations to all workers across Anaocha, Anambra State, and Nigeria. I deeply commend your resilience, dedication, and invaluable contributions to nation-building and grassroots development. Your daily sacrifices do not go unnoticed.

I am particularly proud of the hardworking spirit of Ndi Anaocha—our civil servants, artisans, entrepreneurs, teachers, health workers, farmers, traders, and professionals—whose relentless efforts continue to drive progress, strengthen our local economy, and uphold the very fabric of our society.

Workers’ Day is a moment to honour the dignity of labour and recognize the sacrifices of men and women whose commitment powers governance, productivity, and sustainable development. I firmly believe that a motivated and empowered workforce remains central to building a more prosperous and progressive Anaocha.

As we step into this new month, I urge us all to remain hopeful, united, and steadfast in our collective pursuit of peace, development, and shared prosperity. I pray for God’s blessings, good health, and success for every household in Anaocha.
Happy New Month, Ndi Anaocha.

Happy Workers’ Day, too!

I am pleased to inform Ndi-Anaocha that we will officially flag off the construction of Chief Onyejepu Obianom Road, Ifite Aguluzigbo, on 1st May 2026 by 1:00PM.

This project, being executed under a Public-Private Community Partnership (PPCP), represents a major step forward in our collective drive to deepen infrastructure development in Anaocha. It reflects our commitment to exploring innovative partnerships that bring government, private sector, and community together to deliver lasting progress.

For us, this is more than just a road—it is about improving connectivity, boosting local economic activities, enhancing access, and raising the overall standard of living for our people. It is proof that a greater Anaocha is truly possible when we work together with purpose and vision.

I sincerely appreciate His Excellency, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, for his relentless efforts in transforming infrastructure across Anambra State. At the local government level, we remain committed to complementing his vision by ensuring that development reaches every community in Anaocha.

I invite all Ndi Anaocha to come out and be part of this important milestone.

I warmly invite the good people of Anaocha to join me for the commissioning of a Solar-Powered Borehole at Afor Akwaeze Market Square.

This important project reflects our commitment to providing sustainable access to clean water for our traders, residents, and visitors, while embracing renewable energy solutions that serve our people better and for longer. It is part of our broader resolve to deepen grassroots development in line with the progressive vision of His Excellency, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, Governor of Anambra State.

Together, we are building a stronger, healthier, and more prosperous Anaocha. A greater Anaocha is here!

Today, at Umuabani Village, Neni, I had the privilege of commissioning an ultra-modern convenience facility (restroom/toilet) newly built for the staff and pupils of Ezekwudo Primary School, Umuabani, in Anaocha LGA.

This project is the product of a meaningful partnership with Neni diasporans in the United States and Canada, who share our vision of giving our children a decent and dignified learning environment.

Ezekwudo Primary School has, over the years, produced generations of distinguished men and women across Neni and Anaocha. Many respected citizens who grew up around Neni passed through this great school. Yet, until now, it was unfortunate to see pupils resort to open urination and defecation due to the absence of proper facilities — an eyesore for the environment, especially as the school is adjacent to Immaculate Heart Catholic Parish.

With this project, we not only provided a modern and hygienic convenience system but also ensured sustainability. A caretaker will be engaged to maintain the facility and guide the pupils to use it responsibly.

This initiative reflects the Think-Home (Aku Luo Uno) Philosophy we continuously champion — a call for our people to join hands with government at the grassroots to build stronger, healthier communities. Government alone cannot do everything. I sincerely thank our Neni brothers and sisters in the diaspora for standing with us.

The Greater Anaocha dream is that our people enjoy the best facilities and a quality standard of living worthy of a civilized society. More to come!
