Cultivating a solid foundation of a sub national state is not a rocket science neither is it a rickety fabrications of publicity seeking politicians . It is a well thought out blueprints for orderly and cohesive economic and social transformation of the society for sustainable growth, productivity, job creation, social security, industrialization, food security and physical infrastructural development. This sums up the multidimensional strides in the visionary leadership of Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo. It is a transformational approach to governance aimed at paving the way for sustainable development which is a clear departure from insensitive and unresponsive leaderships prevalent in Africa. On inception of this regime the state has continually been piloted on progressive trajectory of unprecedented social, cultural, political and economic transformation, to make it a livable homeland.

 

Governor Soludo recently signed into law, eleven bills passed by the state House of Assembly. This is yet another legislative masterpiece in the annals of Anambra state law making. These laws are positive and transformative in the sense that they are humanistic, futuristic, , predictive, sustainable and legislatively in tune with emerging demands of the day. These laws also constitute a landmark in social engineering and instruments of social change

 

The social and economic import of the new laws are positive because they will drive visionary social amity, economic empowerment and technological advancement of the state as well as help tackle the current societal challenges .

 

The legal framework is equally aimed at total rejuvenation of Anambra state’s political system and enhance civil society. With the new electoral law, the government is set to fulfill its promise to Anambrarians by conducting the local council’s elections. The contours and compass of the new laws have been extended to emasculate and neutralize social challenges such as, human trafficking, cultism and touting as well as promote peace-building and conflict resolution . The legal superstructure is also aimed at promotion of quality healthcare services and engender new social order as well as accelerate economic growth that will help boost a resilient market economy.

 

The legal framework will equally revitalize the state fiscal policies as well as oil and gas sectors. Since the dawn of democratic governance in the state never was such a body of incisive and proactive laws emerged from the state parliament. According to the Governor, the present assembly has proved to be one of the most hardworking and productive Assemblies in Nigeria. Enacting the laws shows that they are responsive to the needs and aspirations of ndị Anambra .The laws have to be obeyed to avoid prosecution. The originating motions and debates as well as bills and assents constitute a social contract for livable homeland and stable civil society. Nigerians are hungry as a result of economic mismanagement but the light in the tunnel of Anambra governance model and architecture is a blueprint with legal framework for the state’s technological and economic emancipation. Anambra state House of Assembly is a hardworking Assembly committed to enacting positive and transformative laws responsive to the needs of the people.
