Members of the Anambra State House of Assembly Committee on Information on Friday, September 25, 2026, visited the Ministry of Information and Value Reformation as part of their oversight functions.
The delegation was received by the Commissioner for Information and Value Reformation, Dr. Law Mefor, alongside the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Dr. Obiageli Uchebo, and other members of the management team.
Mefor said the ministry was carrying out its mandate to the best of its ability while introducing innovations to reflect its expanded responsibilities as the Ministry of Information and Value Reformation.
The commissioner disclosed that the ministry had assembled a coalition of willing individuals and organisations to develop a manual aimed at examining what went right or wrong with the value system of Ndi Anambra and identifying ways to reverse negative trends.
According to him, the core objective of the initiative is to recover traditional values and re-inculcate in young people the principle that there is no wealth without work.
Mefor further disclosed that a dedicated unit and physical office for the value reformation project were being established within the ministry, with support from individuals and organisations.
He said the policy manual had been forwarded to Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo for his input and would subsequently be presented to the Anambra State Executive Council before the commencement of the programme.
The commissioner added that the blueprint would also be forwarded to the House committee for review, while members of the committee would be invited to the formal unveiling of the document.
Mefor thanked the lawmakers for the visit, describing members of the committee as friends and brothers of more than 30 years who had been brought together again by divine providence. He expressed optimism that the cordial relationship between the ministry and the committee would be sustained for the benefit of the state.
In his remarks, the Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Hon. Fred Ezenwa, commended the ministry for its efforts and described the visit as essentially a familiarisation exercise rather than a witch-hunt.
Ezenwa explained that the committee members had divided themselves to attend to other House engagements, adding that the purpose of the visit was to hear from the commissioner on his stewardship since his nomination and swearing-in.
He said the committee also wanted to identify areas where legislative support might be required through motions and bills.
Other members of the committee who participated in the oversight visit included Golden Iloh, Patrick Udoba and Emma Nwafor.
