The opening of Anambra Country Club in Awka, finally proclaims Solution Fun City as the most unique leisure hub in the world. A water park, amusement park, family fun centre, and international country club are uniquely collocated here. It’s understandable why the Solution Fun City takes pride in its motto, ‘Fun like no other’.
Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, has elevated Anambra State by commissioning the epoch-making Anambra Country Club. One cannot deny the country club’s social, economic, and political significance.
The Anambra Country Club is a standout component of Solution Fun City as conceived by Soludo to be an integral part of his grand plan to make Anambra State a liveable and prosperous homeland. The country club has finally solved the puzzle of making Anambra a destination rather than a departure lounge. People can now enjoy entertainment holistically and engage in various business and investment activities in a pleasurable manner. The country club will stand in excellent stead to provide the Anambra elite and their partners across Nigeria and the wider world an unbeatable recreation melting pot for necessary networking.
The Anambra family can get together in wellness, as demonstrated by Governor Soludo, who was in the company of his delectable wife, Nonye, while undertaking the commissioning. Mr Governor holds aloft the delights of Anambra State as the “Light of the Nation.” He stressed that Anambra crucially deserves the edifice for relaxation, leisure, entertainment, and connections. He emphasises the importance of resting. Onitsha would be the next city to have a country club.
In the glowing words of Governor Soludo, “I had the wonderful pleasure of formally opening the Anambra Country Club, Awka. This fantastic facility is a testament to our commitment to providing world-class amenities for our citizens. The Anambra Country Club promises to be a hub for recreation, relaxation, and socialising. I’m excited to see the impact it will have on our community, fostering connections and creating unforgettable experiences. I congratulate all who worked tirelessly to bring this project to life. Let’s come together to use and enjoy this wonderful facility. May Anambra continue to win!”
I cannot help but reiterate my happiness over the implementation of the country club, which is a component of Solution Fun City. It goes beyond leisure by providing a space for the business class, elites, political class, and others to enjoy a measure of ambience where businesses can be discussed. Individuals can relax and engage in indoor activities. Governor Soludo deserves immense commendation for such an investment. Ndi Anambra will now have every reason to return to their home state and enjoy themselves.
As a leading stakeholder of the Awka community, Senator Dr Ben Ndi Obi stated: “Since the creation of Anambra State, no governor has positioned Awka as a true capital city except Governor Chukwuma Soludo, who has laid down infrastructural development to give Awka the high standards befitting a capital city. While lauding Soludo for his efforts and praying for a glorious second term in office, Senator Ben Obi stressed that Anambra Country Club was a veritable step in the right direction.
The enlightened mission of the club is to provide an exclusive, well-governed, and sustainable environment where members can engage in high-quality social, recreational, and sporting activities while upholding the highest standards of discipline, ethics, and professionalism.
Anambra Country Club is a mainstay in the 12.7-hectare Solution Fun City, featuring major leisure and tourism attractions, including an amusement park, a water park, and, of course, the country club. It creates a vibrant recreational destination that appeals to both locals and tourists in the capital city of Anambra State.
As provided in the groundwork, to join the Anambra Country Club in Awka, one must be an accomplished professional. It is primary to apply for a membership form at the club in Solution Fun City by paying the requisite admission fees and annual dues. One must pass security clearance and undergo a 1-month probation with public notice for objections and then be formally introduced to trustees for confirmation as a full member. The club targets senior civil servants, executives, academics, military officers, business owners, and other leaders for networking and premium lifestyle.
Envisioned as a premier institution for distinguished men and women of excellence, the club offers an elite blend of prestige, networking, and world-class leisure. For now, membership is strictly by invitation or formal approval and is not open to the general public. The club’s goal is to cultivate “a community of like-minded individuals who will not only enjoy the privileges of membership but also actively uphold and advance the standards and vision of the club.”
Anambra Country Club promises powerful networking opportunities and a premium lifestyle. Facilities include fine dining, exotic drinks, a fully equipped gym, a spa, an aerobics studio, lawn and table tennis courts, a five-a-side football pitch, a swimming pool, and indoor games such as chess and Scrabble. The club guarantees security and privacy in a serene, family-friendly environment. Members’ spouses and children enjoy recreational privileges, with the club located next to Solution Fun City.
The Anambra Country Club positions itself not just as a leisure destination but as a legacy institution for Ndi Anambra as per “the Soludo Solution legacy of excellence and community”, offering members growth, leadership, and opportunities that endure for future generations.
I must invite Ndi Anambra, especially those who haven’t yet visited Solution Fun City, to come and experience it, just as those who recently returned for the Yuletide have done.
