Anambra Achievers Legacy Award (Akululu Ulo Amaka-2021) is organized as part of the activities to commemorate the New Anambra State at 30. It is celebrating thirty exceptional achievers who have invested heavily in the state by building roads, awarding of scholarships, rural electrification, building of factories and industries, which provided job opportunities to our youths and increased the revenue profile of the state.

Old Anambra State was created in 1976 from the defunct East Central State, and its capital was Enugu. On August 27, 1991, it was further divided into two, the New Anambra and Enugu States. This year, Anambra shall clock thirty.

Anambra Achievers Legacy Award is a quadrennial event and private sector initiative that seeks to immortalize the indelible achievements of indigenous Ndi Anambra and honour prestigious individuals; the ‘first eleven’ in their various fields. They are individuals who have greatly impacted on the lives of the people through their programs and projects with preponderance of evidence on ground to show for it.

They are individuals and professionals who have distinguished themselves in their chosen careers and sacrificed it for the general development of Anambra State in particular and humanity in general.

Anambra Achievers Legacy Award, also called ANALEG Award, is a home-driven and delivery investment organization, in collaboration with Nigeria-Overseas Communications, empowered in line with the “Igbo Think Home Philosophy of Ndigbo Nalue Uno and Build a Home”, to promote good societal values and right ideals that characterize our people – the Igbo race.

Anambra Achievers Legacy Award was conceptualized to honour Ndi Anambra of proven integrity, hard work, dedication, industry, people who have set up industries and business empires. For the sustainability of Akululu Uno Amaka Philosophy, Anambra Achievers Legacy has urged the South-East governors to key into the “Igbo Think home Philosophy Initiative”, which encourages Ndi Igbo to bring back their investments to the region.

Anambra Achievers Legacy ensures that government/communities provide necessary incentives such as land at highly subsidized rate or customary grant for the building of factories, public and private establishments within a time frame. This would encourage massive investments that would aggressively transform the region to economic and power house of the nation.

As the issue of security is very vital to economic development and its sustainability, Anambra Achievers Legacy will not relent in its efforts in ensuring that policies and strategies that would enhance security are put in place so that lives and properties of the people are guaranteed for continued economic development and sustainability.

The event will be chaired by Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife, former Governor of Anambra State Special guests of honour are the governors of Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, Abia, Rivers and Delta State, with all distinguished Senators, members of House of Representatives, Speaker and members of Anambra State House of Assembly, and their predecessors in office.

Justice G.U. Ononiba (OON) former Chief Judge of Anambra State; Chief Simon Okeke (former Chairman, Police Service Commission), among others.
