Gov. Chukwuma Soludo has promised to address the challenges of electricity supply in Anambra by replicating the Geometric Power project feat of Abia in the state.

Soludo noted that while it took 20 years to bring the Geometric Power Project in Abia to fruition, Anambra State would achieve the feat in a shorter time range.

The Anambra State Governor spoke while presenting the scorecard of his administration’s two- years in office in Awka, the Anambra State capital on Sunday.

He commended Prof. Barth Nnaji, the brain behind the Geometric Power Plant for his innovation, as he revealed that his administration had studied the power plant process and set up a team to work out the Anambra version.

He said his government was struggling to do more with less as revenue available to the state had reduced significantly by over 25 per cent short of previous allocation on one hand and heavy inflation on the other.

According to him, “if you are to line up Anambra people and share the allocation coming to the state among them, it will amount to N2,800 per person a month and that is what we are using to do these things.”

Soludo said he was conscious of the prevailing hard times and as such running what he described as the most austere government such that he was not earning salary from the state and his wife had no official vehicle.

He said he was committed to putting money in the hands of the poor by providing free quality public education, free delivery services and other social services.

He said going forward, he would deepen governance delivery in security, technology innovation and digital economy, education and human capital

Earlier, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, former Secretary General of Commonwealth, said the last two two years had seen extraordinary achievement in Anambra.

Nothings stops a big state like Anambra from being independent power generating plant if you they want to.

Onitsha and Nnewi deserve beta power supply

Wouldn't Emeka Offor and that his useless EEDC be a stumbling block to him achieving this? Not forgetting the issue of the abundant gas found in Anambra being owned/controlled by the federal gov't!

When i say the over-centralised nature of the Nigerian economy/constitution prevents regions/states from adequately taking advantage of opportunities within their domain and use their initiative freely, this is a good example of what i mean!

Garbed in APGA jersey, but with hat-trick own goals for APC! Someone that the budget for his office alone is x3 the budget of education for the whole state is vowing and you think he’s serious? Banana dey spoil dem say na ripe e dey ripe, okay o! Kikikiki

Anambra state have what it takes to build their own Geometric power plant.Let there be light throughout ala Igbo.

Let all the South east governors do same and watch as watch as investors will scramble to invest in the region ..

It has already started in Abia state and we give God the glory.

NGIGE and OBIANO all did well as governors of Anambra state, now SOLUDO is doing great as governor

He has already fumbled because Geometric is a private company and private project. 1 government will not sustain the 20-15 year effort needed to build it

He’ ll do well

Governor Soludos visionary policies and transformative initiatives have brought extraordinary achievements to Anambra in just two years, and his commitment to replicating the success of the Geometric Power Project is a testament to his exceptional leadership.

What Soludo should be looking at,is how to bring in the private sector into this vision,govt is a bad manager,we need it to be private sector driven.I am sure Anambra will never lack investors whom will be willing to key into this...Barth Nnaji of geometric power and Emeka offor of EEDC are both from Anambra and will also be willing to invest in the project....Ndigbo will get it right and with visionary leaders in place,we will move from strength to strength.
