Anambra Executive and Legislative arms of government are certainly on the verge of forging a stronger bond towards achieving the “One Anambra Agenda.”
This became obvious as top functionaries of both arms of government are meeting in Agulu, Anaocha Local Government Area for a two-day bi-governmental arms’ retreat.
The Retreat has the theme “Strengthening Leadership Collaboration for Effective Governance and Delivery of the Anambra Agenda”.
Governor Chukwuma Soludo who addressed the media on the sidelines of the retreat emphasized that the basic agenda of the present government is to enthrone a liveable and prosperous smart mega city.
According to the Governor, only one ball exists in the field which is project Anambra, irrespective of party differences, pointing out that the determination to make the state work is unflinching.
While speaking on the huge Anambra agenda with a deadline, deploying the Vision 2070 Report, the Solution Manifesto and the Transition Committee document, Governor Soludo also stressed that it is an agenda with limited resources, maintaining that Anambra people are in a hurry to witness transformation of the state from largely being a departure lounge to a place where people will love to live, work, relax and enjoy.
He reeled out the five pillars of his administration to include, security, law and order, economic transformation, human capital and social agenda, governance and value system as well as environment, stressing that relative to his government’s resource-based constraints, appreciable progress is being made by prioritizing the use of those resources.
The Tony Blair Foundation helped to facilitate the meeting which also has real out sessions, thematic discussions, among others.
Speaker of Anambra State House of Assembly Rt. Hon. Somtochukwu Udeze led other members to the retreat which also has all members of the state Executive Council in attendance.
