Anambra State Governor-elect, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has identified a community in the state where he will begin work immediately after swearing-in.
Soludo said Okpoko, a slum community, very close to Onitsha, and its dwellers deserve to live in a more decent environment than its present state.
A statement issued by the media aide of the governor-elect, Mr. Joe Anatune, reiterated that Soludo was ready to ensure that the people living in Okpoko were given a decent living.
Soludo had earlier stated that he was not ready for a fanfare to herald his swearing-in, as he would be spending eight hours working on the same day despite being a weekend.
Anatune in the statement said: “Anambra State Governor-elect, Soludo, has been consistent in his resolve and determination to give Okpoko town in Ogbaru Local Government Area a new lease of life.
“This is in line with his goal to transform the state into a most livable smart megacity in Nigeria. Livability and prosperity are the fulcrums of the new Anambra State he envisions while ensuring that our major cities of Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi and Ekwulobia are clean, green and well-planned, as the foundation to the success of this goal.
