In a fulfilment of his campaign promise, Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo returned to Nzam in the Anambra West local government area to officially commission the newly constructed 13-kilometer Nzam road.
The headquarters of Anambra West local government long neglected due to lack of motorable access road.
Speaking at the local government headquarters after visiting various markets and locations, Governor Soludo declared that the barrier has finally been overcome, allowing residents to commute on a tarred road. He highlighted other fulfilled commitments made by his administration since taking office, stating, “This is an emotional journey for me. I made a promise accompanied by a significant consequence during the last gubernatorial campaign. Today that promise has been fulfilled as we can now drive into Nzam in September.”
He welcomed prominent figures from Anambra West politics who have chosen to join the strong political movement of APGA, which he likened to a religion in the state.
The Governor emphasized that his current focus is on project inspection, commissioning, and launching initiatives, as he is committed to an agenda with a set timeline. “We are on a mission of transformation and development, reaching out to those who have been overlooked and neglected,” he said.
Mr. Tony-Collins Nwabunwanne, the Commissioner for Local Government, remarked on the significant changes in the political landscape, noting that every local government area has benefited from the democratic dividends in less than four years under Governor Soludo’s leadership.
During the event, the State Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Barrister Ifeatu Obiokoye, welcomed new members from other political parties who joined APGA. He recalled when the gubernatorial campaign train stopped at Mmiata Anam for the open air campaign, thanking Governor Soludo for delivering on his promise to connect Nzam.
On behalf of the new members, Chief John Ozoemena pledged unwavering support to ensure that Soludo and APGA are re-elected for another term of four years.
