Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has reiterated his administration’s avowed determination to modernise Ekwulọbịa town.

He stated this when he inspected the ongoing construction of the Ekwulobia Flyover bridge, roads, and ultra-modern bus terminal.

Speaking during the inspection, Soludo applauded the contractor, AG Vision, for their quality work.

The Governor also urged the people who are building houses or shops along the road to be conscious of government landmarks and ensure that the space of 4.752 meters from the major road is maintained.

Going down memory lane, Soludo recalled how the people of Ekwulobia awarded him a chieftaincy title as “Ifechiwetalu Ekwulobia”, adding that he was committed to fulfilling the promise of bringing light to the town.

He vowed that Ekwulobia would be transformed into a modern town to befit its status as the capital of Old Aguata Union, saying that the projects he was embarking on would lay the foundation for the future of the Anambra child.

Earlier in his speech, the Commissioner for Works, Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma, said that the Governor's visit was to officially inspect the ongoing project and to ascertain if the reports at his disposal were accurate.

Dignitaries at the function included wife of the Governor, Mrs. Nonye Soludo, Chief of Staff, Mr. Ernest Ezeajughi, Transition Committee Chairman for Aguata, Chibueze Oforbuike, his counterparts TC Chairmen Prince S.N. Uchendu, Mr. Ogo Ekwueme and Chairman Anambra Urban Regeneration Council, Mike Okonkwo, among others.

The project inspection followed Governor Soludo’s eight-kilometre walk around Isuofia to mark his birthday on a low key, accompanied by his wife, Nonye Soludo, among others.
