President Bola Tinubu, on Thursday congratulated Anambra state Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo for providing solution to the people of the state, especially in infrastructure and development.
He also praised the people of the state for supporting the governor in the unprecedented developmental milestones in the state.
Tinubu spoke during the commissioning of the New State Government House, Solution Fun City, the New Governor’s Lodge, built for the first time in 34 years, the revamped House of Assembly, among others.
He described infrastructure as the back bone of development.
He said, “Soludo is here providing solution and that solution is in infrastructure and in carrying people along in the area of development.
“Serving people and building institutions is all about democracy, it is about prosperity. It is environmentally responsive governance.
“Well done, Mr Governor for reflecting the quality of governance for the people of Anambra.
“Anambra is achieving great heights. Building our tomorrow, today. A leader like Governor Chukwuma Soludo placing Anambra on the path of 21st-century development.
“You are a good thinker, you are a solution provider. We can go places together. Building Nigeria. Building the future.
“Using technology to build and reflect good governance on the people. Promote investment. We must encourage good governance.”
Soludo, in his earlier remarks while welcoming the President, said, “Your Excellency, Anambra was created in 1991 and for 34 years, the state Government House and the Governors Lodge have been occupying in a makeshift temporary location in Amaubia.
“But today, we are breaking the 34-year-old jinx as we commissioned this New Government House sitting on several hectares of land.”
