Anambra state government has disclosed plans to build a rehabilitation centre at Nibo, Awka to address the state’s mental health issues.

Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor who revealed this in a statement on Tuesday said the decision was fallout of the 12th meeting of the State Executive Council (ANSEC) held at the Lighthouse, Awka.

He said the centre would allow those who leave the state’s asylums to access rehabilitation facilities that provide all the services they need to fully heal before returning to their families and communities.

Mefor also said the Council has fixed Saturday, June 28, 2025, as the day to open the Solution Fun City to the public.

He said the Council also approved a foremost Anambra State-born Nigerian music icon, Chinedu Okoli, better known by his stage name, Flavour N’abania or simply Flavour, to lead a band of other notable musicians such as Umu-Obiligbo and others to the grand fiesta.

The statement reads in part, “The Council further reflected on the proposed Anambra Rebirth Programme and determined that the programme’s blueprint should address a number of important issues to achieve its main objectives.
