In just two and a half years in office, Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has made significant strides in transforming the state’s infrastructure, marking his administration as one focused on development and progress. His efforts span several sectors, including healthcare, education, job creation, and the broader economic restructuring of the state. Soludo has placed infrastructure at the heart of his governance, recognizing its vital role in driving economic growth, reducing poverty, and enhancing overall human development. Effective infrastructure not only boosts productivity but also fosters improvements in living standards, education, and societal values.

However, the lack of infrastructure remains a barrier to economic progress, raising transaction costs and hindering business competitiveness. Soludo’s approach contrasts with this by prioritizing modernization projects that foster sustainable growth. As a result, his administration has delivered a range of notable infrastructural projects, including roads, hospitals, schools, innovation centers, and technology advancements, positioning Anambra as a model for infrastructural and socio-economic development in Nigeria.

In healthcare, Soludo has made significant investments, with new hospitals built and existing facilities upgraded. The state has employed 1,000 healthcare workers, including doctors, nurses, and technicians, and introduced telemedicine to enhance service delivery. Soludo’s commitment to healthcare excellence earned him recognition as the best-performing governor in primary healthcare in Nigeria. His administration has also focused on education by equipping schools with STEM labs, recruiting over 3,000 teachers, and extending free education up to Senior Secondary School Year 3. The transformation of schools into smart institutions further exemplifies his commitment to quality education.
