Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s approval of two major federal road projects, describing the move as a deliberate effort to rebuild the South-East and address decades of infrastructural neglect.
In a statement shared on his X handle, Soludo expressed excitement over the Federal Government’s approval of the design and procurement of the Otuocha–Anam–Abaji Road, which links Anambra to Kogi State, and the Oba–Nnewi–Uga–Ihube Road, connecting Anambra and Imo to the Enugu–Port Harcourt Expressway.
“I can’t contain my joy and that of my people regarding the great news from DIKESIMBA Anambra; DIKESIMBA NDIGBO, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Soludo said.
He added that Tinubu “has a date with history, and even more so with the South-East,” noting that the President’s actions demonstrate a commitment to healing the wounds of the Civil War through infrastructure-led development.
Soludo revealed that he met with Tinubu on July 1, after which the Minister of Works, David Umahi, requested details of the road projects.
He submitted the proposals on July 3 and received confirmation on July 15 that both roads had been approved for design and procurement.
“These two roads constitute critical game-changers for the South-East, South-South and North-Central. The man who tamed the Atlantic Ocean in Lagos is certainly redefining politics, and the South-East won’t be the same again,” Soludo stated.
He emphasized that the projects would significantly improve regional connectivity and underscored the importance of constructive engagement in governance.
“For me personally, this is why politics makes sense: working collaboratively and building alliances to achieve concrete results that improve the lives of the people,” he said, before concluding with gratitude: “Thank you, Asiwaju! History will be kind to you.”
