SOLUDO’S ANSEC Approves New Transformational Projects for Anambra State’s Development

The Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) has awarded a contract for new developmental projects aimed at beautifying the state as part of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo’s efforts to transform it into a megacity.
This was disclosed at the 25th ANSEC meeting, held at the Lighthouse, Awka, on December 15, 2025, along with other issues of state importance.

The State’s Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, stated that ANSEC approved the contract for the provision of water supply to the Ekwulobia Flyover Bridge Fountain and the ornamental garden to Double NC Construction & Logistics Ltd, and the installation of a 3-way traffic light, including pedestrian lights, at the Ifite-Amenyi intersection within Awka metropolis to S.N.U. Ventures.

Mefor further affirmed that the Council also approved the contract for the supply and installation of two 10 kVA inverters with 15 kW lithium batteries at the Anambra State Civil Service Commission Building in Awka, to Kennolly Enterprises, as well as the supply and installation of transformer substations at Nnewi and Umueze-Anam communities to Aries and Gold Ventures Ltd and Aljovic Construction Ltd.
Furthermore, the Council awarded the contract for landscaping the car park at the Trauma Centre of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital (COOUTH), Amaku, Awka, to Triseconds Resources Ltd.
According to Mefor, ANSEC emphasised that erosion is an existential issue in Anambra State, citing the careless actions of communities and regulatory bodies that have disregarded environmental regulations.

The Council cited instances where some residents direct stormwater from their homes onto the roads, where it accumulates in different ways and contributes to the erosion crisis currently affecting the state.
In light of this, ANSEC decided to step up enforcement to encourage people to build and manage stormwater from their houses and for communities to follow specific guidelines, such as building erosion barriers and excavating sand only in designated locations.

After hearing another report about people blatantly intruding on government lands and building on them without permission, the council resolved to form a committee to reclaim these government lands in and around Anambra.
