President Bola Tinubu on Thursday arrived in Anambra State on a working visit to commission several infrastructure projects executed by the administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo.
The President commissioned a number of facilities described as “legacy” projects, including the newly constructed State Government House, the Solution Fun City, a new Governor’s Lodge — the first in 34 years — and the remodelled House of Assembly complex, among others.
Tinubu landed at the Chinua Achebe International Airport, Umueri, at about 12:14 p.m. He was accompanied by top government officials including the National Security Adviser, Alhaji Nuhu Ribadu; Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State; Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State; Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State; and the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi.
From the airport, the President was driven to the Solution Fun City, where he performed the official commissioning before proceeding to the New Government House and the Governor’s Lodge.
Speaking during the commissioning of the New Government House, Tinubu commended Governor Soludo and the people of Anambra for the infrastructural strides, noting that infrastructure remains critical to national development.
“Soludo is here providing solution, and that solution is in infrastructure and in carrying people along in the area of development,” the President said. “Serving people and building institutions — this is all about democracy. It is about prosperity. It is environmentally responsive governance.”
