Awka As State Capital Of Anambra: 30 Years After (Video, Photos) by Anambra1stSon(m): 8:40pm On Aug 29, 2021
Anambra @ 30: Awka was declared capital on 21 August 1991, after the creation of Anambra and Enugu state, which moved the capital from Enugu to Awka, also remember Anambra have other major cities like Onitsha, Obosi, Nkpor, Nkwelle, Ekwulobia, Anambra industrial cities are Ogbaru, Ogbaru host the highest numbers of industries, then Nnewi and Ogbunike, these are major industrial clusters are located, Anambra west host moreof Agro industries, Anambra evolving into a city state where style, hospitality define culture, UNTIL recently, the sight of a brightly lit bridge or descending aircraft making its landing in a well built airport in the state had not been part of Anambra’s history. Interestingly, in her 30th year anniversary, she has all these amongst other collections of monumental developments, thus, turning into an all city state.

My focus today is Awka which was declared state capital of Anambra 30 years ago.

Watch interesting areas in Awka.

Awka is a residential town.

Not City.

There are only a few Cities in Nigeria.

Lagos and Portharcourt.

Even Abuja is not a city.

Awka is a thriving city developed to the present heights by self help efforts. Can the city do with a bit of planning? Yes! But it's a city built from scratch. Remember my days at The Temp site. Went back few years ago and I can't find my way around. Well developed and structured. Funny to hear some people that claim Lagos as their state rubbishing Awka. Not sure any state created at the same time has a better bustling capital..

Awka mates like Oshogbo, Ado Ekiti, Birnin Kebbi, Dutse etc are still backward, with some of them having just rusted roofs and plastered mud houses to boast of.

Igboland is doing well in developing multiple cities at the same time.

Awka is not meant to be industrial city, Onitsha/Ogbaru, Nnewi, Ogunike and Ozubulu are industrial areas, although there are few industries in Awka, like Juhel pharmaceutical company, Millennium plastics, Jesco Lub company, Eastern detergent and soap industry etc
