The Anambra State Executive Council has approved N640.7 million for major infrastructure upgrades and comprehensive environmental reforms. Led by Governor Chukwuma Soludo, the state administration is moving rapidly to address ecological degradation and modernize critical public assets. This targeted capital deployment aims to combat severe erosion threats while simultaneously strengthening civil governance frameworks across the region.

A major portion of the approved budget is dedicated to urgent flood mitigation and road remediation works. Specifically, the state has earmarked N124.7 million for the control of a devastating gully erosion site threatening the structural integrity of the Chisco Oasis Road in Amawbia. This decisive intervention addresses a severe ecological risk that has long disrupted transportation, commerce, and residential safety in the local community.

In addition to environmental protection, the state government is prioritizing institutional modernization. The council approved N516 million for the complete remodeling and furnishing of the Anambra State House of Assembly complex. Executed under the supervision of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, this modernization project is designed to deliver a world-class legislative workspace that enhances administrative efficiency and supports sustainable urban governance.

Beyond structural investments, the Soludo administration has ratified the Anambra State Clean and Green Sustainable Environment Policy. This new legal framework introduces stringent guidelines for waste disposal, urban planning, and environmental stewardship across all local government areas. By combining multi-million naira infrastructure funding with strict policy governance, Anambra State is establishing a scalable model for climate resilience and sustainable infrastructure growth.

A massive local housing initiative The Anambra State Government recently announced an aggressive plan to tackle rising rents. Officials finalized a bold Anambra mass housing policy to address severe local accommodation deficits immediately. Governor Chukwuma Soludo directed this urgent initiative during a crucial executive meeting.

Consequently, the administration seeks rapid partnerships with powerful private sector developers. You can review broader national housing initiatives at the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.

How the Anambra mass housing policy works State Commissioner Law Mefor shared these vital decisions during a major press briefing recently. He emphasized that resolving supply issues remains absolutely critical for crashing housing costs.

This new strategy introduces several massive changes to state operations:

• Tax compliance: Bidding construction companies must prove strict tax worthiness beforehand.

• Private partnerships: The government actively invites massive private investments into housing.

• Academic integration: University professionals will aggressively design and execute public projects.

Ultimately, involving local university experts actively bridges the massive gap between theory and practice.

Securing infrastructure and state property Beyond the Anambra mass housing policy, the council tackled other pressing regional issues. They proposed strict new legislation targeting scrap metal dealers across the entire state. This proposed law mandates official licensing for anyone handling scrapped vehicles or materials. Authorities aim to stop the rising vandalism and brazen theft of public property completely.

Furthermore, the council approved massive new infrastructure funding for local communities. They awarded an N801.6 million contract to construct a vital floodwater diversion channel. Additionally, they secured new medical equipment for the General Hospital in Oroma Etiti.

Without a doubt, these rapid developments signal massive growth for the state economy.

Tension flared in Enugwu-Agidi, Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, on Friday, as thousands of angry women; mostly elderly and middle-aged, stormed the streets in a massive protest against what they described as “rampant land grabbing” and “abuse of power” by their community President-General (PG), Mr. Ebuka Onuorah.

Armed with placards and chanting protest songs, the women marched through the town demanding urgent intervention from the Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo. They warned that the situation, if unchecked, could escalate into a full-blown crisis.

“The PG wants to turn us into refugees in our own community,” lamented Mrs. Grace Aghauche, Women Leader and Chairlady of Etiti village. “We cannot be Internally Displaced Persons on our ancestral land because of his land grabbing activities.”

Aghauche accused Onuorah of abandoning the community’s constitution, imposing leadership structures, and silencing dissent. “He is intimidating women, and all our efforts to make the authorities listen to us have been scuttled. We’ve written several petitions, but nothing has been done. Every day, he encroaches further into our land, sharing it among a select few,” she added. “We want the PG removed over these notorious acts. We’re begging our governor to step in now so that peace can return.”

Another protester, Mrs. Chinwe Udo, painted a bleak picture of the economic toll of the alleged land sales. “Our ancestral farmlands are being sold off indiscriminately. We can’t even go to farm anymore, there’s no land left,” Udo said. “The PG uses security operatives to harass anyone who questions him. We’re living in fear. We need the governor to act quickly.”

The women also raised alarm over disruptions to sacred cultural practices, particularly in Etiti village, where they allege that burial and funeral rites have been tampered with.

Reacting to the protest, the traditional ruler of Enugwu-Agidi, His Royal Highness Igwe Michael Chidozie Okekeuche, through his Chief Press Secretary, Ichie Ifeanyi Ndulue, acknowledged the women’s grievances and assured them that steps were being taken to address their concerns.

“We are witnessing what no community should ever endure,” the monarch said. “Allegations of rampant land grabbing, abuse of power by those entrusted with leadership, and the imposition of parallel leadership structures allegedly fueled by the Enugwu-Agidi Brotherly Union Nigeria, are deeply troubling.”

He urged calm and restraint, reminding citizens that Enugwu-Agidi’s heritage is rooted in peace and brotherhood. “Your cry has been heard. But let us also remember: anger is not our tradition; violence is not our heritage,” the monarch emphasized. “Let us not allow chaos to consume what generations before us labored to build.”

Citing his powers under the Enugwu-Agidi Brotherly Union Constitution and the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Law of 2007, the Igwe promised that a resolution would be pursued through dialogue and lawful means.

In a brief response, Mr. Ebuka Onuorah denied all the allegations leveled against him. “All those allegations are lies,” he said. “I am not a land grabber. I don’t even belong to the land committee. If they have grievances, they should channel them to the appropriate body.”

Despite Onuorah’s denial, the atmosphere in Enugwu-Agidi remains tense, with protesters vowing to continue their demonstrations until action is taken.
