With an economic size estimated at $20 billion, a population of about 8.5 million people, the second highest population density, and the largest market in West Africa, Anambra has always been a land of limitless opportunity and possibilities and today, this has remained true as Governor Soludo played host to major investors from around the world in its maiden edition of the Investment Summit held at the International Convention Center, Awka.
Soludo has dedicated significant attention of his government to promoting an investment-friendly state to attract choice investors across sectors of need, from industrial policies of transforming the state from “Import to industry for export hub” to knocking on the doors of investors as the chief marketing officer of all the Made-In-Anambra Brand.
The purposeful leadership of Soludo has consistently ensured that Anambra does not lose its choicest and potential investors. No wonder, the recent ranking by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council shows that Anambra ranks First amongst Southern States in the just concluded Federal Government Ease of Doing Business report of 2023, and 7th in the entire country.
Being the leading state in natural gas utilization activity, the biggest market for Fish commercialization in West Africa, Soludo’s agenda has also seen an addition to Tiger Foods Limited, a tomato paste line, welcomed a second indigenous automobile plant in Anambra, the KOJO Motors and Natural Gas company that will be the first CNG automobile company in Nigeria and first CNG station, and a lot more, including a state policy to revive some of the moribund manufacturing companies in the state.
It is worth noting that the government of Soludo understands the important role of private investment in creating new jobs and improving the standard of living.

femisplash: The monthly allocations accrued to the states has seen a big increase since the removal of fuel subsidy. January 2024, FAAC shared 1.13trillion. In December 2023, 1.13trillion was shared, in November 2023, 1.78trillion shared. In August 2023, 1.13trillion was shared. These respective allocations were a big boost from 786billion that was shared on May 2023 at the tenure end of the last Administration. The President had a talk with the Governors over the subsidy removal and promised increased allocations to enable them cushion the effects and help them deliver to their people. So far, Governors haven't shown commiserable deliverables to the increase in allocation at their disposals. It appears to be that the Governors are less interested in driving the vision of the president than lining their pockets while their people groan and complain under their watch. The media are not putting the pressure on the Governors, everyone's eyes are fixed on the President.
people should hold their state governors responsible
