According to the release, the Commissioner of Police, CP John Abang,
after disbursing the cash to the officers, who received two hundred
and fifty thousand naira and twenty-five kilogram bag of rice each,
thanked Governor Obiano and his wife for motivating the officers.
CP Abang, who said the gesture will go a long way in boosting the
morale of the officers and encourage them to redouble their efforts,
assured the Governor and Ndi Anambra” that the Command under his watch
will continue to enhance safety and security in the state and deny
criminal elements the opportunities to perpetrate their dastardly
acts.

Anambra Increases Security, Resumes Aerial Surveillance.

By Bona Ogbonna
 
Despite its reputation as Nigeria’s safest place in the last five years, Anambra State is intensifying its security level.
 
A memo which Governor Willie Obiano sent to members of the state Security Council this morning said areas which “are for now of great interest are banks in border towns like Ihiala and Umunze to ensure that armed robbers from other states do not strike here as they were doing before this administration; the forests to establish that undesirable elements are not hiding there; Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi to rout out all the cult members; and a number of villages and towns to end the cultivation and sale of illicit drugs like marijuana”.
 
The memo explained that the heightened security has become necessary in view of the economic hardship brought about by the coronavirus pandemic and the fight against it which has entailed such measures as the lockdown on some key activities.
 
It also explained that the security measures were necessitated by reports, though without evidence, that some people may have defied the presidential order prohibiting interstate movements and consequently entered any of the bushes in the state.
 
“We don’t want to take chances”, the memo said.
 
“The state police command is deploying Armoured Personnel Carriers to protect banks in border towns, and the banks will from this day have greater surveillance from not just the police and the Department of State Security but also the Anambra Vigilante Group (AVG) and the Nigeria Civil Defence and Security Corps.
 
“If there are banks which do not yet have CCTVs, they have to install them immediately.
 
“The Secretary to the State Government will issue the same directive to filling stations in our state because they could be targets of criminals”.
 
Governor Obiano directed the AVG, headed by former Police Commissioner Ikechukwu Aduba, to lead the police, DSS, NCDSC, army and navy to comb all forests in the state while the police start aerial surveillance of these places immediately.
 
The memo identified Inland Town in Onitsha, Okpoko in Ogbaru Local Government Area, Obosi in Idemili North LGA and Ihiala Town as areas where cult-related crime has spiked in recent times and, therefore, directed the security agencies to get cracking.
 
“The NDLEA should join in regular raids of these places because of the high consumption of illegal drugs by criminals here, apart from the fact that the NDLEA will conduct with greater intensity raids in places where all kinds of substances are produced”.
 
He ordered the Cattle Menace Committee led by the Commissioner of Police, John Bassey Abang, to dispose of all cases brought before it within two weeks.
 
He stated the reason for the directive: “Apart from the fact that justice delayed is justice denied, we must bear in mind that we are now in the rainy season when crops grow well, and this may attract cattle to  farms.
 
“In the same vein, we don’t want farmers to take the law into their hands by killing offending cattle”.
 
Chief Obiano enjoined the security and intelligence chiefs to hold regular dialogues with their counterparts in neigbouring states for improved security.
 
“Anambra’s security is, to a large extent”, noted the governor, “dependent on the security of our neighbours, as we saw how armed robbers from certain states used to terrorise our state up to 2011.
 
“Anambra State doesn’t want to be an island of peace and tranquility; we would rather work for the good of all”.
 
On assumption of office in March, 2014, Governor Obiano led a security summit in Awka, Anambra State capital, which was attended by all five Southeast governors plus the Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
 
It is widely believed that the summit resulted in Anambra’s quick emergence as Nigeria’s safest state.

Motion calling on Governor of Anambra to construct dilapidated roads in Otolo, Uruagu, Umudim and Nnewichi.

By Bona Ogbonna

Nnewi is one of the industrial hubs in Nigeria and the second most viable commercial town in Anambra State. Nnewi, as the supposed Japan of Africa, has continued to face a serious challenge in road infrastructure.

The deplorable state of roads in Nnewi has become a nightmare to her ever-increasing population. Whenever it rains, it is always a bitter experience for commuters and residents. Worse is that some of the existing good roads in the town are fast dilapidating.

On Tuesday, 2nd June, 2020, on the floor of the hallowed chamber of Anambra State House of Assembly, I sponsored a motion calling on the Executive Governor of Anambra, His Excellency, Chief Dr. Willie Obiano, to intervene by constructing dilapidated roads in Otolo, Uruagu, Umudim and Nnewichi.

Moving the motion, I explained that Nnewi is hard hit by road infrastructure gap, which is currently making it difficult for the town to fulfil its growth aspirations and potentials as a manufacturing and business centre.

Constructing accessible roads is very important for businesses to thrive, some of the roads constructed in the town by past administrations were poorly built. Most of the paved roads networks have lost their asphalt surface and are covered by water during the raining season because of lack of proper drainage, uneven surfaces, potholes, and eroded areas.

To enable more development in Nnewi, the state government should make construction and rehabilitation of roads a top priority in Nnewi, the multiplicity of accessible road network will trigger more social and economic activities.

If possible, there is the need for more ring roads to enable easy connectivity, the increasing economic activities also calls for dualization of key Nnewi roads to ease the congestion experienced in Ibeto Junction, St. Mary's Road, Amuko Junction, Owerri road, Nwafor Uruagu road and Nwafor-Orizu.

Our dear Governor, His Excellency, Governor Chief Dr. Willie Obiano, has really done a lot in Nnewi especially in terms of roads and erosion control, but as a town that has a long history of poor road infrastructure, we are still asking for more government attention.

Member Representing,
Nnewi North Constituency,

Free Cleft Surgery Beneficiaries Thank Mrs. Obiano

By Bona Ogbonna

Two beneficiaries of free Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery facilitated by the Wife of Governor of Anambra State, Her Excellency, Dr. (Mrs.) Ebelechukwu Obiano (Osodieme) met her on 29th May, 2020 at Government House, Awka to express their appreciation for the new lease of life they received.

The beneficiaries of free surgery facilitated through the Caring Family Enhancement Initiative (CAFE), NGO of the Wife of the Governor, shortly before the outbreak of Coronavirus pandemic are ten year old Chikamso Okechukwu from Ichida, Anaocha Local Government Area, and four year old Chinemeze Obiefuna from Umuelum in Ayamelum Local Government Areas.

The children are among the 102 beneficiaries of correctional surgery for congenital mouth deformity of cleft lip/palate sponsored in partnership with Smile Train International at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital, Nnewi.

Speaking shortly after appraising the work done on the children, Mrs. Obiano urged parents who have children with such deformity to bring them out as the surgeries are done free of charge.

Mrs. Obiano who received the children alongside their families explained that the surgery would help the children to gain their self-esteem and associate freely with their peers without any form of social discrimination.

She restated her commitment to reaching out and providing succour to the less privileged through her NGO, CAFE. She stressed that compassionate works of charity drive her life passions and inform her principles.

Whilst thanking the wife of the Governor for saving the future of their children through the free surgery, the parents of the two children, Mrs. Eunice Okechukwu and Mrs. Angela Obiefuna, said that they had taken the children to different places to no avail until Mrs. Obiano came to their families rescue. They prayed that God should continue to empower and encourage Mrs. Obiano in her unassailable acts of charity.

by Brown Ebubechukwuzuloke

The Speaker of Anambra State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Uche Okafor, has described the Member representing Nnewi North Constituency, Hon. Nonso Smart Okafor, as a proactive Lawmaker who prioritizes the welfare of his people and has continued to deliver dividends of democracy.

Rt. Hon. Uche Okafor who was in Nnewi during the weekend, to commission a 3-Bedroom Bungalow built for three (3) childless widows by Hon. Nonso Smart Okafor, praised the young lawmaker for finding it necessary to put smiles on the faces of the women.

The Speaker revealed that Hon. Nonso Okafor remains the first and only lawmaker in the current 7th Assembly of Anambra State House of Assembly, to have built, completed and commissioned a constituency project.

Speaking he said, “Nonso chose to build this property as part of his constituency project, for these our dear mothers, while we appreciate him, I want to say this and say it loudly, Nonso is the first House Member in this 7th Assembly, that have completed a constituency project”

While commending Hon. Nonso Okafor, he also appreciated the Governor of Anambra State, His Excellency, Chief Dr. Willie Obiano for providing the needed support for Anambra Lawmakers to build projects across their various constituencies.

He however, appreciated Ndi Nnewi for voting Hon. Nonso Smart Okafor into the House Assembly and also for standing by him all through.

Gov Willie Obiano as a terror to Erosion menace in Anambra State.

....As he gives attention to Obeleagu Ozalla Erosion site, Onitsha

By Bona Ogbonna

The erosion site at Obeleagu Ozalla road, Onitsha has started to recieve the attention of Anambra state government.

Governor Willie Obiano visited the site to give on -the -spot assessment of the impact to the entire area.

The erosion which has affected about forty buildings, with many more under threat, is about thirty five meters deep. During the visit, tractors and workers were seen working on the site.

Governor Obiano who said that the contractor had given assurances to control the erosion in twenty days, pointed out that the they gave assurances that they will work day and night to deliver on the project.

The Commissioner for Works, Engr. Marcel Ifejiofor, Chief of Staff to the Governor, Mr Primus Odili, among others, accompanied the Governor for the inspection, while some Onitsha cabinet members and residents were on ground to recieve them.

Recall that when that of 100ft road Nnewi became so terrifying and dangerous, Ndi Nnewi through their humble and dedicated son, Hon Sir Melie Onyejepu, "Ogbuefi" called on Akpokuedike, and he answered by coming to their rescue, low and behold, the all threatening and intimidating 100ft road Erosion menace took to its heels and ran away. That is one of the reasons why Ndi Nnewi nicknamed him "AKPOO AZA NNEWI".

Willie de work abeg, no be mouth.

Time For Mothers to Show more Interest in Education of their Children - Mrs. Obiano

By Bona Ogbonna

The wife of Governor of Anambra State and founder of Caring Family Enhancement Initiative (CAFE), an NGO, Her Excellency Dr. (Mrs.) Ebelechukwu Obiano(Osodieme) has called on mothers to show more interest in the education of their children.

Mrs. Obiano made the plea against the backdrop of the Coronavirus pandemic in a special message in commemoration of the 2020 Children's Day signed on her behalf by Deputy Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Emeka Ozumba.

In her words, "It is no longer news that the Coronavirus has drastically altered the way we live and more so the education of our children. From physical presence in class rooms to remote learning at home with new challenges requiring careful guidance of the children in how they learn and what they do."

According to Mrs. Obiano, mothers are uniquely positioned to help the children to achieve their full potentials despite the the challenges of distant learning. They have an obligation to bridge the gap between the children's conventional physical presence in schools and the nuances of e-learning at home.

"Mothers are now required to ensure that the children achieve good academic standards by adapting to the new teaching mode, keeping to timetables, doing assignments and achieving good grades as well as being ready when school resumes," she emphasized

Mrs. Obiano observed that the chosen theme for 2020 Children's Day celebrations: Promoting Girl Child Education for Sustainable Development is very apt and timely especially with the challenges posed by Covid-19 which she noted requires sustained effort by all to overcome.

Whilst wishing the children happy 2020 Children's Day celebrations, Mrs. Obiano urged them to be disciplined by obeying all Covid-19 protocols like keeping required social distance, washing of hands, using hand sanitizers and wearing of facemasks in public.

She emphasised the need for the children not to despair but to be upbeat about life beyond the momentary revulsion of the pandemic.

COVID~19: Obiano Speaks to NdiAnambra for the 11th Time.

By Bona Ogbonna.

A Special Broadcast on Covid-19 by the Governor of Anambra State, His Excellency, Chief Willie Obiano on Monday May 25, 2020.

Ndi Anambra ekenem unu-o!

It is my pleasure once again to update you on the efforts our dear state is making to protect our people from the fast-spreading Covid-19 pandemic that is ravaging the world today.

As you are well aware, long before we recorded our Covid-19 Index Case on April 9, 2020, we had made some commendable arrangements that would give us a fighting chance against this pandemic. We have put together a 428-bed Protective Care Center to absorb Covid-19 cases and nurse them back to good health. We have made elaborate arrangements to fight this pandemic…we have fumigated all the 63 markets in Anambra State and distributed palliative materials to segments of our society. We have also continued to emphasize the strict adherence to all the Covid-19 protocol which includes heavy use of nose masks, frequent washing of hands, regular use of hand-sanitizer and maintenance of social distancing.

Covid-19 Cases in our Protective Care Centers:

Ndi Anambra, out of the many tests we have conducted so far, we have recorded 9 positive Covid-19 cases. Four of these cases are currently in our Protective Care Center. One of the cases was accompanying a corpse from Lagos to Imo State when his sample was captured in Anambra for testing. He has since returned to Lagos and we have communicated the appropriate authorities about his whereabouts. Three of the cases have been discharged and only one case has passed on. Ndi Anambra it is important to explain here that the only Covid-19 death we have recorded so far was a 66-year old man who did not report his ill-health on time. His case was reported late to the hospital and by the time his result came back positive, 24 hours later, he had passed away. Ndi Anambra, there is a possibility that his case would have been managed well if our Team had been alerted on time. I urge you to cooperate with our efforts to protect lives. People who hide their medical conditions run a high risk of dying from Covid-19. Please, let us bear this in mind!

Community Covid-19 Task Force:

Ndi Anambra, it is important to note that the rise in the reported cases of Covid-19 in Anambra State is as a result of the Aggressive Case Search mounted by the Special Task Force on Covid-19, headed by my humble self. Following the success of the Task Force at the state level, we have since extended our activities to the 326 wards in Anambra State for a more aggressive campaign against the pandemic. The membership of this Task Force at the community level includes: The Officer-in-Charge of Primary Healthcare Center, the Community Woman Leader, the Community Youth Leader, the Representative of the Ministry of Health and the Representative of the Civil Society. The Team shall be headed by the Councilor of the Ward but the Local Government Chairman and his Medical Team shall supervise the activities of the entire Team. Ndi Anambra, I have no doubt that this structure will help us to ramp up more tests in the various communities and weed out the virus from the populace. We shall continue to innovate and seek new creative responses to Covid-19 as time goes on.

Covid-19 Case Medication Team:

Ndi Anambra, we have decided to set up a Case Medication Team. This Team is made up of seasoned medical practitioners and public health officers who will deliberate and decide the best medical approaches to adopt on a case-by-case basis.

Attitude to Covid-19 Patients:

It has come to our knowledge that some health workers turn automatically hostile to patients who they suspect of having Covid-19 symptoms. This is not acceptable in Anambra State. We cannot encourage any attitude that will discourage possible Covid-19 patients from walking willingly into hospitals to reveal their condition. I fully recognize the overriding importance of our healthcare workers who are on the frontline of the battle against this pandemic. It is on record that I generously acknowledged the efforts of the health workers who handled our Index Case and our two newly discharged cases here and assured them of some rewards. So, we deeply appreciate our healthcare workers but we must also discourage any negative attitude from them where it exists. It is on this note that I wish to appeal for a better understanding and empathy from our healthcare workers and urge them to keep to their professional oath.

Advise to Hospitals in Anambra State:

I wish to advise the management of all hospitals in Anambra State to create an Isolation Room where any patient whose sample has been taken for Covid-19 testing can be kept while the result of the test is awaited. If a patient who is suspected of Covid-19 is placed in an isolation ward, it reduces the pressure we have to contend with in the volume of contact tracing that arises from allowing a suspected patient to roam freely. We expect all hospitals in Anambra State to comply with this directive with immediate effect.

Conclusion:

Ndi Anambra, we have done well so far in the battle against this pandemic. But we can still improve on our performance and place our dear state in an enviable position in the ranking of Covid-19 Status in Nigeria by doing all the things that we are expected to do to flatten the curve on this pandemic in Anambra state.

Ndi Anambra, we are giving this challenge our best efforts. The setting up of Covid-19 Task Force at the Ward Level will play a major role in increased detection and reportage of more cases of Covid-19 in Anambra State. So, while there may be a sharp rise in the number of cases in the coming weeks, rest assured that we have enough capacity to handle what will come out of the increased testing. There is no need for panic. We are on top of this situation. And by the grace of God, Anambra State shall come out safe from this pandemic!

God bless Anambra State

God bless Nigeria

Second Coronavirus Case in Anambra: Don't Panic, Comply with COVID19 Protocol

...Two Test Centres to be Approved Next Week

By Bona Ogbonna

A Special Broadcast on Covid-19 by the Governor of Anambra State, His Excellency, Chief Willie Obiano on Thursday 14th May, 2020.

1. Ndi Anambra ekenem unu.

2. I am here once again to address you on our efforts to protect Anambra State from the raging Covid-19 pandemic.

3. As you would have heard from the media, our beloved state recorded a new case of Covid-19 yesterday. The new case returned from Kano on the 6th of May after a short business trip.

4. It is saddening that despite our efforts to tighten security at the boundaries, this new case was able to sneak back into Anambra State after a trip to Kano.

5. He is currently receiving attention in one of our Protective Care Centers. His residence has been sealed off and we have commenced aggressive contact tracing to minimize the wave of community spread that might arise from this case.

6. Ndi Anambra, I urge you to be calm as Covid-19 Task Force is on top of the situation to ensure that this threat is quickly contained.

Testing Centers:

7. Ndi Anambra we are making gradual progress in our efforts to bring Covid-19 testing closer to our people. We have received assurances that the two laboratories that had been earmarked for approval shall be approved to operate fully as Covid-19 Testing Centers from next week.

8. A special training for professionals who will work in the laboratories is currently going on in readiness for the inauguration of the laboratories.

9. We have commenced aggressive case search in the 179 communities of Anambra State. This will help us ramp up the numbers in terms of testing and ensure immediate containment of any possible outbreak.

10. We are also hopeful that when our laboratories become fully operational, we shall be able to conduct more tests.

No Need for Panic:

11. Ndi Anambra, God has been on our side. Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in the country, we have had only two positive cases in Anambra State. We have made adequate arrangements for the containment of the pandemic.

12. There is therefore no need for panic. I urge you to go about your business lawfully and in strict compliance to the protocols of Covid-19.

13. These include regular washing of hands, the wearing of face-masks when stepping out, regular use of hand sanitizers and adherence to the principles of social distancing.

14. I am sure that once we keep to these principles it shall be well with Anambra State.

The Influx of People into Anambra State:

15. Ndi Anambra we have been monitoring developments across the country. In particular, we are aware of the mass movement of young people in groups from most of the epicenters of the Covid-19 pandemic in the country.

16. As the Chief Security Officer of Anambra State, I have a responsibility to protect my people from avoidable threats to public health.

17. Consequently, we have directed the security agencies to ensure that movement into Anambra State by individuals and groups shall no longer be allowed. We are determined to enforce the federal order restricting movement between states across the country.

Curfew:

18. The nationwide curfew must be strictly observed in Anambra State. From now on, there will be no vehicular and human traffic into Anambra State from 8pm to 6am.

19. This includes essential goods and services. Every movement into Anambra State must wait until the next morning.

Donations:

20. I must sincerely commend all our illustrious brothers and sisters for the outpour of donations both to the state and to individual members of the society.

21. In the words of Corretta Scott King, the wife of Martin Luther King Jnr, the foremost African American civil rights hero, “the greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.”

22. Indeed, through the actions of our public spirited brothers and sisters who have risen to the challenge of Covid-19, the world has seen the greatness of Anambra State.

Conclusion:

23. In conclusion, Ndi Anambra the fight against Covid-19 is entirely in our hands. If we take full responsibility and conduct ourselves according to the guidelines prescribed by the WHO and NCDC on Covid-19, we shall win this war.

24. God bless Anambra State
God bless Nigeria

Willie Obiano
Governor
