Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State on Thursday received the Prof Chukwuma Soludo-led Vision 2070 committee report during a valedictory executive council meeting.

The governor who officially inaugurated the International Conference Center, ICC on Wednesday is expected to hand over to the in-coming governor Soludo in seven days time.

The Vision 2070 committee had been inaugurated by Obiano on November 20, 2019, with a mandate to produce a report that would ensure the full industrialization of the state before 2070.

Presenting the report, Soludo thanked the outgoing governor for the opportunity to serve in that capacity, saying that the report is Anambra plan, rather tgan a government plan.

He said: “What makes this document outstanding is ownership. This is an Anambra plan rather than a government plan. We made extensive consultations, to come out with this report.

“The implementation of this report will begin with the coming administration.”

Obiano reassured that the transition will be seamless, emphasizing that he will ensure that the incoming administration will not experience any challenge.

On his part, Chairman of Anambra State Investment Promotion and Protection Agency (ANSIPPA), Prince Ike Chioke expressed confidence in the capability of Soludo to take the state to a higher height.

He said that Obiano’s greatest achievements, was letting Prof. Soludo succeed him.

Chioke added, “Obiano has many times been humble enough to also say it that he is happy that someone who is better than him will be succeeding him.

“There is no doubt about the capability of the governor-elect, and we are sure that he is coming to office prepared, and with a clear cut knowledge of what he wants to achieve.”
