The new year comes with an overwhelming sense of hope and excitement for Ndi Anambra. From indications, Governor Chukwuma Soludo will give Ndị Anambra reasons to experience the best in 2024.
After a little over twenty-one months in office, Governor Soludo’s audacious vision and the tireless spirit have put Anambra on the rise. The Governor has used the past months to lay the necessary foundations for the Anambra of the future in the different sectors of the economy, from education to health; from human capital development to poverty alleviation; from infrastructure to a stable economy; and from public service reforms to improved security.
Optimistically, the 2024 budget of four hundred and ten billion naira which was signed into law few days ago by the Governor Soludo is not just a collection of numbers; it is a declaration of intent, a roadmap to a future that shimmers with the promise of prosperity and progress. The administration is taking a new turn to development. It is changing the gear to accelerate our journey towards the Anambra of our dreams: a livable and prosperous smart megacity.
Yes, this government will be investing heavily in infrastructure, including transportation, water, and energy. Governor Soludo will continue to support education, healthcare, youth empowerment and will keep protecting the environment and building a sustainable future.
Governor Soludo has promised that three new cities will be rising on the horizon – Awka 2.0, a gleaming demonstration of our entrepreneurial spirit; Onitsha 2.0, a thriving hub of commerce reborn, and a new Industrial City, a beacon of industry and innovation.
In this New Year, the Soludo government is building new arteries of a thriving economy – modern highways that weave through our landscape, and a revitalized mass transit system that pulsates with the rhythm of everyday life.
A new electricity market will illuminate our homes and businesses. Our security operations will be fortified with the armour of high technology, a shield against threats both seen and unseen.
In every home and office, taps will run once more, quenching the thirst of our people. Our students, the architects of our future, will find their classrooms transformed into better sanctuaries of learning. Their teachers, empowered and supported, will guide them on a journey of knowledge and self-discovery.
In healthcare, the government is building a future where wellness is woven into the fabric of our daily lives.
Governor Soludo has also assured that sports will find its rightful place in Anambra, with our state football team taking the field in 2024.
In agriculture and food security, our regenerative agricultural transformation will thrive the more. In the past year, the Soludo government distributed over one-point-one million hybrid coconut and palm seedlings to over a hundred thousand households in our drive towards zero poverty, neo-agro industrialization, and a green and environmentally sustainable state.
From this year, the government will be distributing at least one million seedlings per annum as we target 500,000 households. Specifically, this year alone, another 100,000 households or more will receive 10 or more seedlings of coconut, palm, ukwa, pawpaw, soursop and many others.
Now, all this anticipated transformation, this symphony of progress, is not going to be the handiwork of one man or only the government. It will be the collective melody of a people united.
We, the people of Anambra, are the builders, the dreamers, the architects of our shared destiny. That is why our Internally Generated Revenue is not merely a statistics – it is the lifeblood of our aspirations.
When each of us contributes; when we pay our taxes not as a burden, but as an investment in our collective future, the Anambra of our dreams will become a reality within reach.
Of course, there will be challenges. But let us embrace this New Year with the indomitable spirit of Onye Anambra.
Let us roar our defiance against poverty, mediocrity, or any obstacle that dares to stand on our path.
Under the dynamic leadership of Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, Anambra is rising and changing the gear. We will be unstoppable!
