The task of building a modern, prosperous and progressive state is never a one-man adventure. There has to be an aggregation of concerted efforts by diverse stakeholders. Quality, inspiring leadership driven by sublime vision is imperative, so also is a supportive citizenry with distinctive contributions.
With the fore-going in mind, Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, was recently in Lagos, the nation’s commercial capital, to engage Ndi Anambra residents there in a town hall meeting. The venue of the town hall meeting was filled up to the brim and graced by key Ndi-Anambra businessmen and women as well as some members of the State Executive Council .
For Governor Soludo, this wasn’t a jamboree but a serious business. The mission was simple and unambiguous. He came to Lagos to seek partners in progress in the quest to build a prosperous, livable and secured Anambra State that all can be proud of.
At least, if it is true that heavens help those who first help themselves, Anambra’s own sons and daughters must be sought out first as investors to join hands with the governor in the task of state building.
Beyond political pandering, Governor Soludo is a leader in a hurry to transform Anambra State for good and leave it better than he met it. He has no luxury of time to waste. So, he would stop at nothing to enlist support wherever it could be found.
After all, he presides over a state bursting with immense potential, yearning to be unleashed for greatness.
This has spurred the governor to be relentless in the past over one year of coming to office to lay a solid foundation that will turn the state into Africa’s axis of sustainable prosperity and a livable and prosperous homeland.
