Soludo declares emergency on infrastructure, insecurity in Anambra

THE Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, yesterday, declared a state of emergency on insecurity and infrastructure in the state.

Soludo assured the people that he would make the state an industrialisation hub.

The governor stated this in Awka, yesterday, during a town hall meeting of traditional rulers, youth leaders and other stakeholders in the state.

He said the event was put together to enable the state government interact and interface with the various stakeholders with a view to charting a common good of the state.

He frowned at the increasing rate of insecurity in the state and admonished the people to report anyone with questionable character living among them, adding that the people causing pain live within the communities.

He also assured of continued consolidation of projects of his predecessor despite paucity of funds.

He said: “Today marks 49 days we assumed office. This is the second time we are calling this meeting to keep you abreast on our commitment in transforming the state. We will call you again in 100 days.”
