Governor Soludo's ANSEC Awards N2.7Billion Ugwuaku-Ibugughu-Osu-Umuchu Road Project

Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo and members of the Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) have approved the award of the construction of the Ugwuaku-Ibugughu-Osu-Umuchu Road worth N2,754,734,086.72 to Benejaf International Limited.

The decision was reached at the Council's 17th meeting held on 7th August, 2025, at the Light House Awka, the state capital.

The State Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, stated that ANSEC also approved the rehabilitation of the Amichi-Osumenyi Road, which would be completed by the Anambra Road Maintenance Agency (ARMA) at N670,968,919.05, and the construction of the St. Stephen - Isiokwe Road at the cost of N1Billion to New Idea Construction Company Limited.

Recently, the Council asserted that the power project for Anambra Mixed-Use Industrial City (AMIC), a major step towards activating the Anambra Industrial Park, would be completed soon.

The Council has also embarked on other transformational initiatives, such as the construction of the Nri-Agbanabo-Nimo Road, and the restoration of the name, Abakaliki Street, which was renamed Club Road in 2018, by the then administration, a move made to reinstate the historical significance of the street.

ANSEC, according to Mefor, reiterated the oneness of the Igbo ethnic group, seeing states in the zone as mere administrative conveniences and not identities.

It demonstrated the vision of Governor Soludo's administration in ensuring unity in the Southeast, as demonstrated in his appointment of Igbo citizens from other states in key positions, signaling the exemplary spirit of brotherhood for the ethnic nationality. 

The governor's credible performance in governance are also evident in vital sectors of the state's economy including infrastructure with numerous road constructions and flyovers connecting various communities in Anambra, the regeneration of towns, and cities with modern drainages to ease flooding and erosion, and in health where the governor was recognized as the most performing governor in primary healthcare in the Southeast region and overall, nationally.
