Governor Charles Soludo is transforming Ekwulobia, one of the major towns in Anambra State, into a cosmopolitan city with modern infrastructure as part of his administration’s urban regeneration drive.
Soludo’s strategic and proactive intervention in preventing this emerging city from growing into another self-help city without necessary government infrastructure that will sustain its booming economic activities is most commendable.
According to Christian Aburime, Soludo’s Chief Press Secretary ‘ the governor has changed the landscape of Ekwulobia with the newly constructed flyover which has reduced traffic hiccups and enhanced economic opportunities, connecting local businesses to a broader market, with illumination at night’.
Other projects in Ekwulobia include adjoining roads, such as the two-kilometre Nanka-Ekwulobia-Aguata Council Area Headquarters road and the one-point-one-two-five-kilometre Ekwulobia-Isuofia road, as well as other ancillary structures and facilities. There is a modern bus terminal, fuel station, security office, fire station, and other external works, such as sewage treatment facilities, drainage, and landscaping.
The governor is also constructing an ultramodern market to accommodate traders and their wares. Not left out is a motor park and sports and recreation facilities that will host sporting events, international concerts, and cultural festivals.
Today, Ekwulọbịa city is evolving with incredible potential, which the Soludo administration is unlocking through innovative projects that benefit the people.
These urban regeneration projects underscore Governor Soludo’s commitment to fostering sustainable development and creating an enabling environment for growth in Anambra State.
