Soludo Mulls Plan For New City Along Amansea, Ufuma Route by okeychris(m): 12:40am On Mar 20
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.

And it should remain so, their soil is very fertile.

Agricultural activities should be the main focus of Gov. Soludo towards that area.

Awka south doesnt have the land for such a mega city project. The state capital shouldnt have been cited in awka in the first place.

No,awka is the best site for a capital since Onitsha is mainly commercial and nnewi industrial.the only thing is that awka isn't central but I think development should be expanded to awka north

Exactly. Awka north upwards to anyaemelum should house the new capital. Awka south is condensed already. In fact, the central senatorial zone is the most densely populated area of the state.

Awka south lga is on the eastern flank of my lga.

That triangle of awka, amawbia and nibo is densely populated already. The capital should have gone as far as aguleri.

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.

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.

My point is, awka south should be left as it is for congestion sake. Orumba should be largely devoid of any mega city status because of its agric potentiality.

Urbanization
flowing into Awka north is inevitable, because of the congestion already in the awka capital city area. If urbanization is threatening agriculture in awka north, should we willfully allow same to happen to the inner parts of awka south and orumba?

Well, the truth of the matter is that, urbanisation is a sure thing in Anambra state...it's just a matter of time
