Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, has hinted that a new city will emerge along the newly built 26.4 kilometres Amansea-Ntoko-Ndiukwuenu-Awa-Ufuma road.

Governor Soludo stated this during the commissioning of the road where members of the various communities he visited who are connected to the long stretch of roads thronged the venues of the brief ceremonies in their numbers. They all dance in excitement to receive the Governor's entourage.

The Governor explained that building "One Anambra" is the agenda, irrespective of social stratification, political party affiliation or religious inclination, pointing out that APGA's major concern is to lift everyone out of poverty in tandem with its mantra of "be your brother's keeper".

According to the Governor, the late Mr. Joe Anatune who hailed from Awa was the first person that hinted about the strategic importance of the road, recalled that he promised to construct the road during Mr. Anatune's funeral ceremony, emphasizing that completing the road is in fulfillment of the promise he made in his memory.

Governor Soludo stressed that after assumption of office, his government did not start work from the areas that voted highly for him, but from local government areas where he narrowly lost, where there is greatest need.

He reminded them during campaign, their major request was for his government to construct the road, adding that the commissioning calls for celebration.

For the Transition Committee Chairman for Orumba North, Sir Ogochukwu Ekwueme, said the people of Orumba North will ever remain grateful and continue to pray and support the Governor and his team.

Others who spoke during the event include the Traditional Ruler of Awa, Igwe Israel Ezue, President General of Awa, Chief Raymond Ofor, President General of Ufuma, Rtd. Commodore Clement Ofor described the road project as fulfilment of a promise.

Dignitaries that graced the occasion include Chief of Staff to the Governor, Mr. Ernest Ezeajughi, Principal Secretary to the Governor, Barr. Joachin Anaeto, Deputy Speaker, Anambra State House of Assembly, Hon. Chukwuma Okoye, member representing Orumba North at the State House of Assembly, Hon. Paul Obu, Commissioner for Works, Engr. Ifeanyi Okoma, Chief Protocol officer, Hon Chinedu Nwoye, Chief Chinedu Obidigwe, among others.

Cutting of the tape by motorcyclists, keke, shuttle bus drivers and the late Joe Anatune's wife, formed the highpoint of the event.

Soludo Mulls Plan For New City Along Amansea, Ufuma Route by okey chris

ImmaculateJOE:

Anambra is more urbanized than Rivers.

I have been to both places.

You will find more empty lands in PH and her surroundings than you will get in Onitsha and enviros.
To some extent, even Awka has been build up than PH.

Svoboda:


I know awka south goes beyond the triangle i mentioned, but i daresay that umuawulu, awgbu and the succeeding towns along that stretch to ndiowu and ufuma still form part of the agric belt i previously talked about. Also, Nise and mbaukwu. Govt doesnt have to forcefully urbanize some of these sleepy towns to unecessarily create high population densities when we gain so much agriculturally from them.

I'm from Awgbu so I get your point.

IncredibleWrite:
Anambra has a higher population density and more urbanized than Rivers state due to our small landmass, but to say Awka is more built up than PH sounds funny. It will take Awka decades to get to the current level of PH.

What's even the size and population of Awka compared to PH? PH is more populated than Onitsha but Onitsha is more congested. So I agree with your third paragraph. I'm from Anambra based in PH.

Prolificgiant:
the land mass of river is like ×5 of Anambra,you really can't say rivers is not urbanize

ImmaculateJOE:

I said to some extent.

In Anambra State, you will get many minor cities and Major towns, but in Rivers, everything is happening in PH and enviros, no spread development.

Svoboda:


Nice. You people have land o. I passed thru awgbu on the 3rd of jan when you held that masquerade festival.

Svoboda:


Thank you. I dont know what this craze for blind urbanization of every area of anambra state. Its fast killing its pristine innocense. Building of a new mega city should have been concentrated in awka north.

IncredibleWrite:
Enu-Awgbu day 😁 it's always fun. Yes, Awgbu is actually one of the largest towns by size and population in the zone. Where you from?

Why Awka North?
